Article by Charlie Wright Ever heard of the Bandwagon Raiding Machine? Neither had I, until this week. All of a sudden, emails asking for more information about this have come flooding in. (Probably not a good phrase considering last weekend’s weather.) Agora Lifestyles and Streetwise are both pushing this hard, each using their own promotional copy.…

By Charlie Wright I’m back from my break. Am I tanned? Relaxed? Replete with straw donkey and comedy sunglasses? No siree, not on your nelly, matey! I didn’t even leave East London. The wife and I decorated the flat. The dog got diarrhoea. I got a variety of flip-flops covered in poo. I had a…

Article by Charlie Wright Shopping. I don’t know about you, but for me it’s one big “ugh”. It’s me staring into a changing room mirror as I pull on a pair of trousers, thinking “Has my gut really got that BIG?” Who makes these gut-warping mirrors?

Article by Charlie Wright You know how these sales letters for business opportunities go on about how great working from home is?

Article by Charlie Wright The day started with a hangover, but after 8 shots of espresso, I was buzzing… As I grilled mackerel and scrambled a few eggs, I listened to my favourite post-punk band, ‘The Fall’. (Probably my neighbour’s least favourite band of ANY genre by now.) Bobbing my head to the music and…

Article by Charlie Wright I’ve been watching a lot of teflevision this week. Not the old-fashioned television, run by networks…. but the “new” television, created by ordinary people at home….  where you pick and choose what you see. Yes, I’ve been glued to YouTube (www.youtube.com) Apart from roller-skating monkeys, wonky pirate videos of rock gigs,…

Article by Charlie Wright It was a friend’s birthday on Saturday… Pub, food, booze, back to mine, music, booze, laughter, bad dancing, sleep, hangover, cheese, sleep. Last weekend, in a nutshell. (Odd thought: imaging spending your weekend in a nutshell. Actually, physically, INSIDE a nutshell.) Yes, I’m too old for all these shenanigans. Which was…

Article by Charlie Wright I’ve realised that the less I write these emails to you, the less I get a feel for what’s going on in the world of home business opportunities. Now I’m back, I’ve so many questions… Were you okay? How have you been doing? Any news? Breakthroughs? What’s the latest? Having zipped…

Article by Charlie Wright Saw that Dragon’s Den “Where are they now” the other day. It follows the stories of some of various candidates who tried (and mainly failed) to get investment on the show. I spotted a bloke I used to know in the programme. He was just a little blond kid when I…
