I’ve recently been working on a new project that almost didn’t happen and I think it’s a great example of “being lucky”.

It’s a product that I almost didn’t get of the ground because I had a particular problem with it, but I kept at it and in looking for a solution, not only found the perfect solution, but also opened up a new opportunity as well, and it reminded me of a definition of luck that I once heard/read somewhere that struck a cord with me..

“Luck is when oportunity meets preparation”.

I see the meaning of that as luck is when you see an opportunity and are ready (and willing) to take advantage of it, i.e. you are prepared for it.

OK, so it is somewhat “British” humor, but if you liked Shawn of the Dead, you’re probably going to laugh your head off at Hot Fuzz, I did..

It’s the funniest movie I’ve seen in a while, in fact probably since Severence last year.

I’m not going to try and write a review of it, all I’ll say is it’s a kind of “Comedy Cop Action Triller” that is chocked full of in jokes as well as general humor and some farcical moments.

There were a few bits that didn’t quite work for me, but they were few and far between. My wife laughed a lot less, but thaat may be beacuse it’s a bit of a “boys” movie and there’s a lot of “brit” humor that she stills doesn’t get, not being from here originally..

Even though I do spend most of my time online and most of my day sat in front of my pc, I do occaisionally venture outside, mostly thanks to my wife dragging me out (not always kicking and screaming) for one reason or another, usually something “pleasant” like a meal, movie or walk in the fresh air..

but I’m never really “off duty”, for some reason ideas for new projects and stuff will pop in to my head at any time, so I never go anywhere without my trusty digital voice recorder.

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or
boyfriend along shopping

This letter was (apparently) recently sent by Tesco’s Head Office to a customer in
Oxford.

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty
Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and
your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.
Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our
surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people’s
trolleys when they weren’t looking.

Whilst I do try to eat healthy food (fresh, Organic etc.) I do have a couple of bad habbits, like drinking too much and smoking when I’m drinking, so I’ve spent some of my time on the net looking in to ways of limiting the damage I do to my body from my “vices” and it occured to me that rather than just sitting here and eating an apple, I could eat my apple and share a few of the best Health Bits I’ve come across.

Obviously I’m not a Medical Professional, so this is just my opinion and not medical advice, go see a Doctor for “Professional” advice..
