Business Plan

A couple of weeks ago, whilst on my Bullshit to Work course, I wrote a business plan for professional blogging. there was nothing else to do. I’ve just typed it up and it’s the new Cycling on the Pavement. Any input welcome, particularly from anyone who is an actual professional blogger.

A couple of things have changed. I haven’t received a reply from the company that makes model Tardis’ and I have a job, so a full day’s work at the blogface is no longer possible.

We're going to need a bigger bike

I’ve carried some impressive loads on my bikes over the years. Panniers were the most effective things I ever fitted and I kind of miss them on my current bikes. However, I think I’d like the set up sold by Xtracycle even more. the Free Radical extends the wheelbase of a bike and allows loads to be carried around and above th erear wheel. This lowers the centre of gravity and increases the capacity.

The Revenge of Work to Rule

See what happens when you nationalise (empirise?) Death Star building? It takes twenty something years to finish and then your sidekick’s kids come along and destroy it.

Now if only Darth Sid had put it out to tender and trusted in the Free Market, it could have been finished before Luke or Leia reached rebelling age.

Of course, if there was the wrong sort of photon on the track……

Dapoxetine- get ready for all the spam

Originally developed as an anti-depressant, Dapoxetine succeeds in a slightly different way to the one planned- it can be used as a treatment for premature ejaculation, making a man last up to three times longer than usual.

The men in the trial were all in monogamous sexual relationships. Before taking the drug, they typically lasted less than a minute in the sexual act. On the highest dose of the drug, patients lasted around 3 minutes 20 seconds, the company reported.

Just over half of the men who took the drug described the control they had over their ejaculation as “fair” to “very good”, compared to about 3% of those who did not take the treatment. The number of men describing the sexual satisfaction as “good” to “very good” almost doubled to 46.5%. Their sexual partners reported a similar experience.
