Well, off we go....

Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at this blogging lark, and with lots and lots to say (well, I AM a bloody consultant, for all my sins, so I should never be short of a word or 10!), I thought that I should give this blogging a go!

Actually, I hope to raise lots of interesting issues (well, I think that they are interesting anyway!), and I hope that some of you poor sods out there, who clearly have very sad lives (if reading this is the best that you can do with your life!) will be suitably motivated to reply, comment on my thoughts, ideas and so on, and perhaps even encourage me to say more!!

Once I have figured out how on earth this all works, I will post up a profile, so that if you are suitably interested, you can see what I am, in terms of where I come from and what I do! And for the particularly brave, I will even post a photo!! (Oh no! Oh yes!)

Suffice to say at this stage that I have a somewhat unusual background and range of experiences (although surely we could probably say that about everyone to some extent?!), which I hope will encourage me to offer some unique (or at least unconventional) thoughts about some of the issues that face us today.

I am truly a citizen of the world!

And my motto in life has (after many year of consideration) become:

I don't really care what you think, just as long as you think!

I hope you folks will come to enjoy this place and yes, please let me know if there is anyone out there!


With my love to y'all!

Mark
