Should You Just Give Up?

Here is a good post from Enigin PLC about not giving in which I found to my liking: http://www.eniginscampaign.com/2010/07/01/the-persistance-of-an-enigin-family-member/ Not giving in can get you in to BIG trouble, of course – both emotionally and financially speaking. But then again, giving in can leave you feeling dissatisfied…that if only you had tried that bit harder you might just have been able to accomplish what you set out to do… Naturally, everyone has their own limit of when they should give More

The consistent refusal of British leaders to challenge US foreign policy will not change under David Cameron

David Cameron’s unwillingness to criticise Obama after he used the phrase such as ’kick some ’ass’, aimed at punishing BP for the Gulf gas oil spill, will be no different to the attitude that every British Prime Minister has taken since the Second World War.

While BP should not avoid harsh words for its reaction to the devastating oil spill, it is dangerous for Obama to suggest tough punishments for a company that funds millions of British pensions and whose More

The Phone Fear

Phone fear is the worst, but worse than phone fear – what I mean by ‘phone fear’ is when you are in a crowded public place and your phone rings and instead of answering it like a normal person you freeze up and start talking as if someone has a gun against your head – is people who have no phone fear; we’re talking yuppies, women working in Beauty PR, men in suits with far too much hair-gel and More

Explosions In The Sand

Whenever I get nervous I tend to get a strange feeling that immediately makes me think of P.E. at school. (The sports lesson with our teacher, the one who eventually retired to sell weight loss treatments ). More specifically, it is the moment when the boy in front of me steps away, running towards the long-jump, and I become the boy at the front of the queue. I’m nervous and shaking all over. Behind me I can hear the mocking More

The Brick

Fourteen of us boys are in the changing rooms and expected to get naked and changed in to swimming trunks the size of napkins just like that, as if the unveiling of one’s pubescent genital parts to a mass of boys who have just learnt sarcasm should be considered ‘a good thing’. Today is swimming, and for three hours we’ll be stuck racing back and forth, linear and dull, because our teacher Mr Thomas doesn’t like any ‘mucking around’.That means More

The Cool Of ‘The Sweeney’.

Anyone who grew up in the 1970s will remember just how many brilliant shows were on television. There may only have been three channels to choose from, but the programmes were far superior. Today, we have literally hundreds of different TV stations and many of them are padded-out with all manner of rubbish merely to make up their twenty-four hour schedules. As paradoxical as it may sound, less channels meant more good programmes.

One of the most popular shows More

Hello!

Welcome to Finch TV, my very first personal blog. I am not really even sure why I am rocking the whole blog thing, I think that someone made a joke and I just decided to run with it. So here it is, the grand unveiling. To be honest I am not even sure what exactly it is that I am going to write about, probably just whatever thoughts and musings come to mind, exciting anecdotes about my day etc.

So if that tickles your fancy, stay tuned and see what I come up with. I know I will be surprised!
