The following are purely my personal thoughts and opinions. I make no claims as to their accuracy and I include them here only in the hope that you might find them useful, educational or mildly entertaining. I have grouped them under three loose headings and will add more as and when time allows and I can think of something to write.

Feel free to reproduce any of these articles as many times as you wish on the understanding that you do not do so for financial gain and that you credit me as the author by including the accompanying 'About the author' footer on each occasion.
