Within the ten questions posed to the five party leaders in the MSE Leaders Debate, I put a few deliberate curve balls to see if the politicians would actually answer… As suspected, they were glossed over and avoided hence why the top of the guide says: We asked them to answer the whole question – if you...

Let me confess: I have a stressful job, that involves interacting with the public often at inconvenient moments for me, and sometimes, afterward I mutter things about them under my breath, out of ear shot… I hope this doesn’t make me a bad person. I admit I have a temper – not in a fists and spitting...

They’ve been in training for months – with runs before work and after – and this weekend it came to fruition.  This morning there’s a lot of limping and groaning round the office, but the six valiant triers all did brilliantly and raised serious cash for their charities.  And as I know many of the regulars will...

While never wanting to unnecessarily promote secured lending (get a secured loan and if you can’t pay it off you can lose your house, unsecured loans are better if you must borrow) I can’t resist it this time… Thanks to my Uncle Roy, who told me of this recent Man City chant (we’re both Blues)… U-N-I-T-E-D That...

Those who listened to Radio 2 at lunchtime would’ve heard Jeremy Vine mid-discussion on flight compensation ask me what I was eating, and me embarrassingly having to admit that it was a jelly baby I’d just shoved in – and receive the ensuant stick.  So I think it’s important the real culprit is exposed….

MSE Towers is based in a multi-company office complex in London’s Shepherds bush; we share the building with lots of companies including Endemol, the makers of Big Brother… While of course each office has its own security, and there are the usual CCTV and more doors within the building, at the main exits there’s a security guard...

The aim’s simple, you can speedily create a list of all the cards in your wallet and purse to help you swiftly cancel if they’re lost or stolen.    In developing it one of the key challenges was to build it without storing any personal details so there’s...

It seems the public disaffection with politicians is at an all time low. The democractic process has been hurt with expenses scandals and others. Reading the MSE forums and my Facebook page, any mention of the election seems to result in a “they’re all the same I don’t want any of them”, so is it time we...

Finally politicians have cottoned on that people have had enough of being shafted by the banks. Not being a political hack I’ve twice been surprised this week to be handed manifesto exclusives. No doubt as they knew I’d be a cheerleader having long campaigned for these issues….   On Friday I was offered details of Labour’s key...
