Good evening world! Hope everyone is well and looking forward to summer. The UK has gone a little bit patriotic crazy for a certain jubilee that we are supposed to be celebrating – I enjoy the free stuff at work, but am more looking forward to the fact that I am going on holiday on… Read more
BBQ’d Out My Nut
Hello world!! London has been experiencing a strange heat wave. It has been high 20s (C) for the last week and I am LOVING it!! It is strange how some heat and sunshine makes everything different. The streets, parks, buildings and sky is totally transformed. Everyone’s spirits are lifted and smiles appear on faces. If… Read more
Whisky and the Speeding Alternative
This is going to be the shortest post ever, but I couldn’t wait to tell you all that I have been offered the Driver Awareness Training Course as an alternative to 3 penalty points and a £60 fine! Although this costs £85, I don’t have to face a hike in insurance costs!! 😀 I had… Read more
Manflu and 5000 Visitors
I want to start off by saying that I have Man-Flu – The worst possible kind of flu that one can have. Ladies, this blows any sort of menstrual pain out the water by a factor of 100. It like all the cramps and pains added up which we don’t get each month, rather they… Read more
Second Thoughts & Borrowing Money from Family
Today Mrs Scot and I decided to take the motorbike to her Mums for lunch. It was so much fun to be out on the open road together with our headsets plugged in so that we could chat. Although driving on the motorways is not much fun (very straight and generally quite busy) it was… Read more
Defining Purpose and the Importance of Moderation
Purpose – what does this word mean to you? The dictionary defines purpose as ‘The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists’ To me the meaning of purpose is what drives me, it is the ‘why’ and the reason. I think purpose is something we all need to find;… Read more

Why You Should Become a Toastmaster
Toastmasters is probably not the best choice of word for a speakers club in this day and age. When you say Toastmaster you see an image of very posh man in a red coat with a big sneering grin. A bit like this: The truth of the matter is that Toastmasters is a fantastic… Read more
Lessons in Negotiation
As I mentioned on my last post, Mrs Scot and I decided to take out a contract at our local gym. With some successful experience in sales (through a part time job), I consider myself to be quite a good negotiator and my secret is to use a diverse range of tactics. I’ll start with an example. When holidaying… Read more
My New Life
Hello! After being warned of how bad a drought we are in over the last few weeks, nature sure has made a point of proving a point. We have had SO much rain! Saying that, the sky is blue, the birds are singing and it is set to be a beautiful day! The weekend has… Read more
The Savvy Scot has Returned!!
A big hello to everyone – Savvy Scot is back!! I have internet again and am connected to the world. It is strange how disconnected and helpless that you feel without an internet connection. How amazing is it that one wire can carry so much information that we are reliant on: Internet Voice Movies Streaming… Read more
