Book review: Sun Tzu was a sissy by Stanley Bing
“Conquer your enemies, promote your friends and wage the real art of war”
This is a little book which is an incredibly easy read, its a comic management book which starts with the assumption that all management have read, and are implementing the ideas from, The Art of War.
It describes how truly ruthless people could operate in a business environment. There are a lot of good ideas in here, and they’re nicely put with lots of diagrams and tables to make everything easier to understand. It isn’t a serious book, but it does contain a lot of worthwhile points.
Who should read this book? Anyone who has to operate in the modern commercial world will get something valuable from it.
Hark the filthy angels sing (worksafe) … includes Helen Love doing ‘Merry Christmas I don’t wanna fight’ (which is probably due to the Ramones originally?) mixed with a bit of Super Trooper for good measure, and also a version of ‘Stop the Cavalry’ with Kazoo solo. Shame about the stupid download site but its worth the patience to get the music….oooo, and Hyperbubbles ‘Away in a manger’ is quite, erm, unusual.

Back in the shadows, someone made wet sounds and died
Oh dear, I think I ate too much crystalised ginger. I’m now feeling vaguely nauseous, and every time I lie down I get flashbacks of last nights dream involving saws, which is definitely not good.
I wonder what Christians would make of something like this (NSFW, no nudity per se, but risqué enough to trigger the ‘adult’ flag on youtube) being done to one of their festivals (the tradition its based on is the Mikoshi portable shrine).
Dammit, I’m going to have to give in and put the heating on.
Do you think I should worry that sometimes I worry too much?
