Too Much To Do … Too Little Time.

Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by John in Microwaves

Just a short post to apologise for the state of my blog! I’m in the process of updating it to make it look a bit smarter but I’m also doing the same at my other blog, which is all about Headache Pain Relief in case you were wondering, and that’s taking priority at the moment! [...]

Can Microwaves Harm You?

Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by John in Microwaves

A lot of people worry about the safety of microwave ovens and I often have messages on that subject, so I thought I’d try and put your minds at rest!
We’re all aware of the light beaming down at us every day from the sun, and most of us know that light is made up from [...]

Is this the beginning of the last chapter of Microwave Man’s life?

Posted on 08. Jul, 2009 by John in Life

Today at my local hospital I had a shocking exchange with one of the staff …
Not what you might expect. I’m still in perfect health, but … wait! Let me start at the beginning.
The reason I was at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, in the first place was not my own health, but because [...]

Beanzawave! The World’s Smallest Microwave Oven!

Posted on 18. Jun, 2009 by John in Microwaves

British workers may be missing out on bonuses and promotions as a result of the recession, but over 22 million workers are also missing out on their mealtimes due to the economic climate.
Over 1/5th of the population are simply too stressed to take time out for lunch according to Heinz Beanz research into the nation’s [...]

Holiday Weekend Disaster …

Posted on 25. May, 2009 by John in Marketing

Here we are again on Monday evening and I have to report another miserable failure!
I’d arranged to have my small ad in yesterday’s News of the World and today’s Sun and this time I didn’t want any mistakes.
The last attempt was unreadable because the design department hadn’t adjusted my rough outline as they promised they [...]

Spot the Difference …

Posted on 21. May, 2009 by John in Marketing

I’ve finally submitted the ad to the News of the World, for my weekend campaign, but not before a bit of advice from my son.
I e-mailed the image to him to see if he could improve on it and he told me there was a grammatical error in it. He said …
“It’s a one-man business, [...]

Could do better …

Posted on 19. May, 2009 by John in Marketing

Here as promised is the result of my test ad, and as I so often read on my school reports, all those years ago, I could’ve done better!
To be brutally frank, I’d have to call it a dismal failure!
Time for some excuses now as things didn’t go quite as smoothly as I’d hoped. After checking [...]

It’s Not Fair …

Posted on 13. May, 2009 by John in Marketing

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining. It’s just that I’ve had Lily Allen’s “Not Fair” going around in my head for the last two hours and it’s starting to drive me crazy!
I’ve spent almost the entire day, composing a small ad which will go in Sunday’s News of the World. It’s only one column [...]

Thinking about Tasmania …

Posted on 12. May, 2009 by John in Life

I’ve been thinking about Wynyard lately, for some reason, which is the town in Tasmania where I grew up, so I searched around and found these photos which show the wharf where I used to go and swim with my mates after school. You can just see the wharf in the long distance photos too. [...]
