    Reuters

    Greece's political leaders meet on Wednesday to form a caretaker government to take it to a second election in just over a month, with its euro membership at stake and its president speaking of "fear that could develop into panic" at its banks. President Karolos Papoulias was forced to call a new vote after failing to cobble together a coalition government.

  • The pleasures of ice cream – thank you Heston

    My team will know that I quite like ice cream, even to the extent of having a proper ice cream making machine. However, you need a LOT of double cream and you need to be in the mood to make even a fabulous vanilla, with oodles of little vanilla seeds scattering explosions of flavour across your taste buds. But sometimes, you just can’t be doing with all that cooking stuff.

  • It's not training if it's not raining

    In October someone said to me 'would you like to help out and take part in training for Nijmegen march'. How hard can walking be? A 160km road march over four days... challenge accepted.

    Gang warfare – Greek style

    So the Greeks have spent the last few days trying to form a big gang. Members from various little gangs try to find common ground, whilst ignoring the flashing of switchblades as they jockey for advantageous position as head honcho. Eventually the president banged heads together, which just resulted in sore heads rather than anything useful.

    RECRUITERS ARE BIASED!  Shock horror.
    There was an interesting article in the FT this week about trends in recruiting that are making their way from America to these shores. The objective is to avoid bias in the recruitment process. To assist funky trend this CVs have common information omitted, including the candidate's name and which school and university he or she went to.

    The focus is on work experience and educational achievements. This supposedly avoids stereotyping and recruiter bias.
