    Concentration failure

    I’m having really big trouble concentrating and getting things done at the moment. I’ve tried cutting out distractions such as switching off Bloomberg TV most of the day, closing Outlook and keeping off CUK sometimes. Existing punters are quiet too so they are not distracting me either. Not a lot is working. Just can’t get things done.

    One big problem is the builders at the school next door. The noise starts at 8 am and goes on till nearly 6pm (can’t be British ones then).

    I’ve got a couple of things that I have to do this week and I’ve got a meeting (conference call) on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, I think I’ll have a break of some kind; a day or two out in London. Where shall I go?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          If you like jazz and blues, strongly recommend the Vortex club and Camden market.
          There is a strong gay scene in camden as well, so pack the rubbers

            Just get some rent boys in for a couple of days. That will cheer you up I'm sure....

              Do you think I'm like these two?
