Own Experience

People only really learn and change from their own experience. Hence the only way you may affect their mind is to give them an experience to reflect and maybe learn and change from.

Family Tree

A while ago, thought it might be a good idea to investigate the family tree. A lot of the records are not only visible from actual copies from original records but also a typed version where records have been transcribed. When looking at the transcribed versions it's amazing how many versions of a name are found. Some look nothing like the actual written version while others give a similar outcome with an occasional letter being wrong.

Competition - Britain's Got Talent: Observation

It was wonderful to have variety to view once more. However, I surely can't have been the only one to observe that on each of the four competitions (three semi-finals and lastly the final), the entrant that appeared last on each occasion was the overall winner! This should be a lesson to anyone entering this type of competition to somehow steer themselves towards being last on the bill. It would have been nice to have seen a couple of judges that were dedicated to variety. Perhaps Bruce Forsyth may have been a good choice!

Sunday

Sunday is a beautiful day. A lie in, liesurely breakfast followed by the Sunday papers. This week featured a man who was 100 years old who was studying at the same college as his great grand son!
