I will be away on holiday for 2 weeks so this will be my last post for a while as I’ll not be able to access the internet (not sure whether that’s a good or bad thing!) As I was tidying up some loose ends at my desk I thought I’d listen to some music and selected one of my favourite songs by the Jam (British mod/punk/rock band from the late 70′s).

The lyrics of this song are so angry – about life in a UK town outside London. They got me thinking about how some people have “given up” on their dream and accepted their lot. One of the best lines is:

“watching the telly and thinking about your holidays…”

How sad is that? Your life is spent in someone else’s virtual world and all you have to look forward to is a few weeks holiday (vacation) each year.

The song is much deeper than that, more a social documentary – listen below – but please don’t get caught in the trap of “acceptance”. Do something about it if you don’t like your lot. “Nothing Changes Without A Change” – go on – break free from your ties.

the jam – that’s entertainment

I’ve so much updating to do when I return – my business is almost ready to be revealed together with the further steps taken that will be documented in My Action Line pages.

Look forward to catching up. Mark
