My steps are down this month. Is there any harm in that? Should I not worry or not be bothered? Well there is a lot to be said for moving as opposed to staying still. You will live longer according to science. Which gives you more time to sit Infront of the TV or do more overtime at the office to pay for the kids inheritance.

Christmas Trees Are For Life, Quite Literally Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Keywords: Christmas trees, aquatic ecosystems, environmental science, biodiversity, Finland, ecological impact, sustainable practices, carbon emissions, habitat creation, marine life, recycling, sustainability, community action, holiday traditions, waste management, scientific inquiry.

I read an innovative experiment conducted in Finland where 1,500 Christmas trees were submerged in a lake to study their impact on aquatic ecosystems. The discussion highlights the significant increase in biodiversity resulting from the experiment, as well as the broader environmental implications of disposing of Christmas trees.

In 2021, scientists threw 1,500 Christmas trees into a lake; three years later, they had completely transformed the ecosystem - The Times of India

Well I guess you will have to listen to find out!

The Story of the Office Mug Attachment Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Keywords: creativity, attachment, objects, psychology, workplace, identity, decision fatigue, personal items, human behaviour, emotional connection, The I.T. Crowd, burn after reading

In this momentary mental breakdown, I explore the themes of attachment to objects, and the psychological implications of these attachments. I highlight the cathartic process of deleting unworthy creations, the significance of personal items like mugs in the workplace, and how objects can serve as extensions of our identities. The discussion also touches on the emotional connections we form with everyday items, such as cars, and how these attachments reveal deeper aspects of human behaviour. I also probably offend brummies! But hey! You need to break a few eggs to make an omelette, right?

Ep44 Cheating or Competing With Mark Marshall Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: cheating, sports, football, ethics, psychology, fairness, competition, hypocrisy, financial implications, everyday life, fairness, relationships, life lessons, morality, social norms, survival instincts, insider trading, trust, confessions, moral dilemmas, The Premier League, Manchester City, Oil Money, Aston Villa, Roman Abramovich, Qatar 2022.

In this conversation I ask my good friend Mark his opinion on the subject of cheating as it is not just a simple black and white subject. People have reasons for cheating, consciously or unconsciously decisions are made to win at all costs or with increased risk. But is it just a short term strategy or can it be justified long term, and if it is not breaking the law, then why should we care?

Satisfaction, A Sign Post to Your Purpose Oct 10, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: purpose, satisfaction, flow, energy, resilience, behavioural signs, emotional regulation, alignment, contribution, personal growth, job satisfaction, engagement, fulfilment, contentment, income, demographics

I explore the profound relationship between purpose and satisfaction, emphasizing that true fulfilment comes from aligning one's efforts with a meaningful purpose. I discuss various behavioural signs that indicate when someone is on their purpose. I highlight the importance of recognizing these signs to enhance personal growth and overall well-being. Making this episode had it's challenges, see prior episode, which ironically underlines the point I am making here. Which is spooky and weird!

The Fxcking Irony Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: technology, dissatisfaction, recording, irony, satisfaction, AI, simplicity, local recording, Silicon Valley, frustration, hatred

If you are looking for philosophies from Plato or the writings of Chaucer and Tolkien then maybe this episode is not for you. If you like listening to white middle aged males rant about first world problems then maybe this is your cup of tea. Mind the volume! Hopefully normal service resumes tomorrow and this podcast brings you a better standard of living then.

150 Episodes Done! So What? Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: motivation, milestones, humour, minimalist, podcast, reflections, life insights, PayPal, angst.

To be fair this episode is not much use. It contains feelings of boredom, resentment and a lack of motivation, whilst I also contemplate the arbitrary nature of milestones like this 150th episode. So What? To me Milestones are meaningless even if deep within me my attention gravitates to such trinkets! I want to be of use even when I am not feeling useful and so I release this without deleting it so as to highlight that not every day is good or sugar coated like a TikTok lifestyle but is simply a passing of time with no significant event or gain.
