The Ten Diseases of Leadership
I was privileged enough to have heard Richard Holmes speak of the subject of leadership and remember his 'Ten Diseases of Leadership' as being both very funny and very accurate. Unfortunately whilst I can remember snippets of them I haven't managed to find the full lot written down anywhere. I don't suppose anyone has managed to either purloin his speaking notes or took the trouble to write them down?

Fuck MtC is that some all time record - return serve in 4 minutes.
Mark The Convict likes this.The above is a temporary digression while I ride one of my hobby horses, a rant by me a soldier, failed lothario and inmate of a proudly independent country, founded by thieves and whores. The gratuitous opinions and comments contained above are more scatological than ideological. Scientific tests conducted by "The Ponds Institute" have determined that I have a very tenuous grasp on reality. You are reading the thoughts one of the biggest wanker currently walking around on four, oops, two legs. I have an ill-informed opinion on pretty much everything. In conclusion there is no truth to the rumour that I am a Philanthropist, Sesquipedalian, World Traveller, and Bon Vivant. Although, I may or may not of been associated with Left and Right Wing authors & lecturers, travellers & bums, wars fought, revolutions started, assassinations plotted, uprisings quelled, governments run, subversion's organised, Communists terrorised, bars emptied, bars filled, Virgins converted, Tigers tamed, Crocodiles castrated, and students tortured.

I'm actually surprised someone was so helpful and you didn't get the usual, google it or use the search function.
God is not on the side of the big battalions,
but on the side of those who shoot best.

I zapped a spammer within one minute once, and I was just killing time whilst waiting for my PC to bludgeon windows live mail into working properly, or indeed at all. The novelty of being nice outside the NAAFI hasn't worn off yet.

I'm polishing my karma before I go walkies over your way, to be eaten by dropbears no doubt. Not before end Feb. though, I'm hoping to avoid the worst of the hot weather.

Pass friend - only MtC knows that he's walking the Bibbulum Track. Aaaagh.......I can feel the blisters now, reminds me of the elastoplast over my body to stop the pack sores.

The Track Foundation's rule of thumb for pack weight is 1/3rd of bodyweight...30kg in my case, No. Fucking. Way! 'How the fuck', I wondered, 'could you possibly need that much kit for a civvy bushwalk?' Then I looked at their recommended packing list, christ almighty...
