In common law there is a well-known rule called the Eggshell Skull rule. Say you are having an argument with your friend. The argument starts to escalate and out of frustration you grab your mobile phone, throw it in your friends general direction and he gets hit on his head. You didn't know it,… Continue reading Do You Have An Eggshell Skull?

What Ever Happened To Belle & The Beast?
Beauty and the Beast is probably my favourite Disney movie of all time. The story of how love and doing the right thing can overcome any adversary is a timeless story. The end of the story where Belle and the now human-again Prince are dancing in front of their friends and family is the classic… Continue reading What Ever Happened To Belle & The Beast?
Fear, Tension, Resistance & Your Best Work
"We got taught for 12 or 16 years at school, that our job was to get an "A", that if we are defective we fail - we were reprocessed, sent back a grade and had to do it again. This idea that we better be right, that we better be perfect, that we better get… Continue reading Fear, Tension, Resistance & Your Best Work
You Are Not A Red Zebra
Isn't it strange how zebra's stand out so much? Shouldn't they have evolved to be a sort of brown colour? Like the lion, so that they would blend in with their environment and not get eaten? Interestingly enough when scientists were studying zebra's, they found it awfully hard to keep track of which zebra was… Continue reading You Are Not A Red Zebra
Still Or Sparkling?
When you're asked at a restaurant if you would like "still or sparkling water?", what do you say? Often we do things in a certain way without asking why. It starts off innocently enough in school. We get shown how to tie our shoes the tried and tested way, so that we don't have to… Continue reading Still Or Sparkling?
“Mind The Gap”
"Please mind the gap". It's a phrase that is announced over and over again on the London Underground. When I was a child I would avoid "the gap" at all costs. It was a terrifying idea; falling into "the gap" would surely result in immediate death...or worse...having to come face to face with some kind… Continue reading “Mind The Gap”
Are Your E-Mails Making You Look Like A Douche Bag?
Why is it that when we receive E-Mails from large organisations there is a threatening message attached to the bottom? Here is an image of an E-Mail I received when I used to work as a doctor in the Emergency Department: No doubt this footer was cooked up by a room full of overpaid lawyers… Continue reading Are Your E-Mails Making You Look Like A Douche Bag?
Michelin Star Chef Goes Out Of Business!
He spread himself too thin, gave away all his cooking secrets in his TV shows and cookbooks and was too generous with his criticism to improve food in the UK. As a result he had nothing left to say, no more new recipes to cook and disappeared into obscurity. Of course none of this is… Continue reading Michelin Star Chef Goes Out Of Business!
Life By A Thousand Cuts
Creating something authentic is always such a surprisingly painful experience. Why is it that so many creators, from Vincent van Gogh to Kurt Cobain, suffered with such severe depression? They experienced so much pain that they ultimately took their own lives. Perhaps there is a disconnect between how creators see the world and how most… Continue reading Life By A Thousand Cuts
Are You Stupid, Mature Or Brave?
The only thing between where you are now and where you want to be are a series of hurdles. Few people overcome these hurdles to reach the goal. Few people push through to become the person they want to become. Stupid people start something while full well knowing, from the very beginning, that they're never… Continue reading Are You Stupid, Mature Or Brave?
