I was looking for somewhere to put a SPECIFIC piece of rubbish...and all I could find was this>>>>

What the hell is with this notice? No specific waste? What is the world coming to when we have to put signs on things that say "anything goes"?

Silly Newcastle council.

The pic was taking on an entertaining day out at Europe's largest travelling funfair, The Hoppings in Newcastle.

What Could Little Jimmy Teach His Mother About Communication?

Little Jimmy is at school one Wednesday. Whilst gazing out of the window over the playground he sees his father drive by with Aunt Julie in the passenger seat.

The breaktime bell rings and so Little Jimmy decides to go follow them and say 'hi'. Jimmy's Dad drives in to the nearby woods. Jimmy runs to catch them up. As he reaches the woods, Jimmy notices his Dad kissing Aunt Julie.

Little Jimmy stands and watches before running home.

"Mummy, mummy," he starts to relate the story, "I followed Dad and Aunt Julie in to the woods by my school at break time and saw Dad kissing Aunt Julie. Then He helped her off with her top, and she helped him off with his bottoms, then..."

Jimmy's mother interrupted. "Jimmy, stop right there. Why don't you tell us all this story over dinner when you're Dad is back. I'm sure his reaction will be worth the wait."

Little Jimmy waits. Dinner time comes and the entire family is seated around the table. "Oh Jimmy, didn't you have a story to tell your father," Mum enquired.

"Yes. I followed Dad and Aunt Julie in to the woods and saw them kissing. Then Dad helped Aunt Julie off with her shirt and she helped him off with his trousers. Then...well then they did that thing that Mum and the postman do when Dad's away on the rigs"

Sometimes its good just to listen. We are born with 2 ears and only 1 mouth. There's a reason for that.

2 Big Questions You Always Wanted Answered About NLP...

This mind-technology that is sweeping the world seems to have no limits, but what can Neuro-Linguistic-Programming really achieve? What's all this about 'presuppositions' and other gawky lingo?

What the heck is it anyway?
As the name suggests, it is a combination of psychological principles where the fundamental understanding is that the things that happen in our brains (the neurons that make them) are linked with our language. Not just our spoken words but our none verbal language too. Our internal language and physical gestures.
Finally the 'Programming' bit is the concept that, just like the computer you sit at right now, our brains can be programmed and re-programmed. Incredibly, NLP believes that this programming of our brains can be done through our language.

So, What Can Be Done With It?
A lot, to be honest. Any time you think or feel anything, you can change that reaction. So the fact you're afraid of spiders is just a programme in your mind, it can be changed. So yes self improvement, confidence, phobias, addictions such as smoking can all be changed.

However more interestingly, you can use the techniques to change others. So if you want someone to feel more positive, motivated and excited you can use the principles to induce that state of mind.

In fact one guy has even taken it to the extreme by applying NLP to the 'art' of seduction. So it's even possible to find the perfect partner using these techniques. (he actually has a free book on this subject here)

I've also used it to increase the response to advertising, marketing, web videos, podcasts and the like. Basically when there is a situation when you'd like to change the thought process and emotional presponse to a situation, almost any situation NLP can be used.

Summarise Monkey-Boy
It's not half as complicated as the 'gurus' will have you believe. NLP is basically the idea that the way we feel about things, the emotions and mood can be changed through the use of language. Simples.
