1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m starting to collect quotes for my next book, and I just came across this perfect African proverb:
“There are 40 kinds of lunacy but only one kind of common sense.”
2. A brilliant piece of PR work
A couple of weeks ago in the UK, the fast food chain KFC ran out of chicken. Whatever you think of their food, as you can imagine, this is one of the worst things that can happen to a chain of chicken restaurants. Their PR department handled it absolutely brilliantly, and proved the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Have a look:

3. This week’s glimpse of the future
California has given companies the go-ahead to test fully driverless cars on public roads. Children being born today are unlikely to ever need to (or be in a position to) drive a car.

4. This week’s 3 minute miracle
In 1995, English band Pulp hit the charts in a big way with their massive hit, Common People. The album it was taken from – Different Class – was huge, and won the Mercury Music Prize. However… a year earlier, they released a far better album, 1994’s His n Hers. There are so many great tracks on that album that it’s hard to choose one to share with you (E.g. Babies, Pink Glove, Do You Remember The First Time), but here goes: this is the wonderful Lipgloss – play it loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MDpGCTdJxw
That’s it for this week!
Big love
