Threads of Knowledge

So, this is how it begins. My adventure into the world of blogging begins today in earnest.

As you, the regular reader to be will no doubt find out the more often you visit, I have my own ideas on a wide range of issues. From what pays my bills – the exciting world of marketing, specifically database marketing and more recently, social media marketing – to the general goings-on around the world and my personal passions – English football, music and gadgetry.

These thoughts and ramblings will sometimes coincide with and hopefully clarify popular opinion, but more often than not, they will test the views of the Vast Machine of Conformity and stimulate ‘healthy’ comment.

Let’s make a few points clear from the start:

• I am a fervent Manchester United supporter, always have been and always will be. It’s not going to change – just accept it.
• I am decidedly anti-establishment, particularly the growing trends of health and safety, CCTV, the ‘sueing’ culture and the lack of discipline and consequential lack of respect of authority of today’s youth.
• I can’t stand R&B, hip-hop, boy/girl bands, Phil Collins and Chris de Burgh.
• I love most sports – ‘real’ football (not the American one), cricket and rugby union being my fave

I’m sure there’ll be other statements of fact that need to be made as we get to know each other, but for now, that’s a good enough start.

I’ve got plans to make this site ‘sexier’, so come back soon and we’ll chat s’more.

Later.
