General Election 2010 | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/general-election-2010
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. 2010 was always going to be an election year. The campaign itself has been running for close to a month, and the end is near. This thursday, the UK electorate votes for a new government, and potentially a new prime minister. Where are we now? My point is that none of us are blameless. We, as consumers, knew that the financial boom couldn’t last forever, and yet we carried on spending, and borrowing and consum...Except ...

Laid Up | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/laid-up
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. Well, it’s been ages since I last wrote anything, and not just on this blog (although it has been fucking. For the blog). That’s partly because I was busy on my 14-day trial for learning Japanese, partly just me being lazy. Writing started becoming a bit of a chore once I went back to work and was having to deal with an idiot of a project manager for 7 hours a day. One of many Dublin Bars. Stopping smoking generally in...

Who wants to elect their Police Commissioner? | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/who-wants-to-elect-their-police-commissioner
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. Who wants to elect their Police Commissioner? 8220;Local Police Commissioner, you say? I remember my voting card arriving a few weeks ago, but I had no idea what it was for”. And there’s a very good reason why you wouldn’t have any idea why that voting card turned up: because the publicity for these elections has been practically invisible. But I’m jumping ahead of myself…. Was there a public outcry that I missed?

It’s not just for kids… | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/its-not-just-for-kids
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. It’s not just for kids…. I’m often criticised for deliberately NOT watching/reading Harry Potter books, or films intended for kids. It’s a principled stand, and one that I’m entirely happy with. As someone once said, when I’ve read all the adult books, then I’ll move onto the kids ones. Adults Go Wild Over Latest In Children’s Picture Book Series. Read The Onion, folks. It’s a fucking work of art. 8221; – genius. IR...

Why I Love Kickstarter | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/why-i-love-kickstarter
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. Why I Love Kickstarter. Normally this blog is about things that annoy me, or make me angry. But not this time! This time I want to talk about one of my favourite things on the internet. No, it’s not The Onion (which I barely visit these days due to their ludicrous paywall for foreign readers). It’s KICKSTARTER. Good, and I’m definitely hoping it eventually gets published. I pledged money to one of my favourite bands.

Danny Dyer is *still* a cunt | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/danny-dyer-is-still-a-cunt
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. Danny Dyer is *still* a cunt. Seems like everyone is catching on. It turns out that besides being a smug, talentless prick, Danny Dyer is now advising spurned boyfriends to cut the faces of their ex so that no-one else will want them. This was in response to a question asked on his weekly “agony” column in vacuous lad mag Zoo. Dom Joly’s opinion of Danny Dyer. By richiebabee on May 5, 2010. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

The insipid pointlessness of Line Managers and “People Management” | Welcome to Rich's World
https://theworldaccordingtorich.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/the-insipid-pointlessness-of-line-managers-and-people-management
Welcome to Rich’s World. The rantings of a man who’s rapidly running out of listeners. The insipid pointlessness of Line Managers and People Management. I wanted to lay out my personal attitude towards management before I launch into the diatribe that follows, as it may well be that if you don’t share at least some of the attitude above you won’t have a clue where I’m coming from. Please feel free to stop reading now. Good you’re still here. Yes the answer is simple. I’m. Seemingly not in this case. ...
