I see the news at the moment is all about Sir Elton John's new baby.
This is very nice for him and his partner David Furnish but I can't help feeling a little sorry for the baby Zachary.
Sure he will have every thing money can buy and both his parents seem to be very loving but my concern is the age of Sir Elton.
Why? Well you see my father was 67 years old when I was born and passed away when I was only 13.
That was sad enough but I also saw my fathers declining health before he died. In fact I had to tie his boot laces up for him when my mother wasn't around.
It is of course unlikely that Zachary will have any problems like tying shoe laces but it may be sad for him if he loses one or other of the loving partnership at an early age.
Hopefully that won't happen.
I've more or less got my new website for my internet business established. It's looking good.

Charity Cashpoints.
What will they think of next.
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude has proposed that we should be asked to give to charity everytime we use a cash machine or pay with a bank card.
What a cheek! We already are working for the government until May 30th 2011 before we are generously allowed to spend some money on ourselves.
I agree that we have to pay tax but a lot of the money obtained is spent on projects which personally I don't agree with so asking me to pay into a "charity pot" where money may go to causes I don't support is ridiculous
I hasten to add that there are charities which I do support but it surely has to be a personal choice.
Knowing the track record of our MP's the money would be unlokely to be spent wisely.
Enough of my rant. Let's have a joke. Fred died in a bowl of muesli. A currant pulled him in.

Christians denied Human Rights by UK courts
Intersting comments yesterday by The Bishop of Winchester and former Lord Chief Justice Lord Wolf about how the rights of Christians are denied in UK courts.
It seems that the rights of Christians are being hit by the human rights law.
My personal opinion of the Human Rights Law is that is borders on the ridiculous.
How can you give "the same "rights to a paedophile whilst retaining the human rights of children not to be molested.
Doesn't make sense. There must be occasions where certain elements have to forego their rights.
Thought for today:- Is the law always sensible?

Miracle Diet Pill, Meratol
I see that a "miracle"weight loss pill which supposedly has been used by Eva Longoria and Courteney Cox goes on sale in the UK today.
I'm a bit surprised about Courteney Cox. Ithink she could do with a weight on pill. Still perhaps that is because Meratol is so successful?
However I see that the price of Meratol is £29.99 in the UK. Surely that is not for just one tablet?
I think I will stick to the best diet plan of all. Eat less, eat the right foods and excercise more. Hey perhaps I should patent that!

Snow at last
For the last few days we have received news after news about the problems caused by the snow
here in the UK but until today we hadn't had any in my area of the country.
Bit different this morning since we had quite a heavy snowfall overnight.
Still I managed to get most of my last minute shopping done.
Whilst snow can be fun when you can "play" in it there is a slight lack of appeal when you have to
do other things in your day.
Because of the shopping I haven't done any work on my internet business today although I
suppose a break occasionally is good for me. Actually I enjoy what I am doing so it is not really
work.
Thought for today:- Do you enjoy your work? If not why don't you try something different.

Success.
I have just reached one of my goals for the year.
At the beginning of the year I was only swimming around 15 lengths every time I went to the
pool so I decided that I would increase the number of lengths swum each month until I reached
50 lengths by the end of the year. I did it!
Another objective was to write 50 articles about internet marketing and i have achieved this
also. If you are interested go to www.internettraining.com to see some of them.
An excellent bootcamp is www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp even if i say so

They don't really die.
Who are they?
I watched A Christmas Carol on TV last night. This is one of my favourite stories as I am a great
fan of Charles Dickens.
It got me thinking about all the people that I have known in my life such as my parents, aunts
and uncles, co-workers etc who have passed on.
I was amazed at how influenced I was by some of them hopefully mostly for the good.
So really they haven't "died" whilst there is someone who is still carrying on with their
influences.
I think most of us have things to be grateful for which have been passed down to us and affected
our characters.

The Threatened Beaver
There is a very interesting article in this month's The Oldie Magazine (I'm a Youngie actually
but they let me read it!)
This article is about the marvellous beaver and how they are the most accomplished engineers of
the animal kingdom.
Not only do they build impressive dams which can be 8 foot high and three hundred feet in
length they also know to build a secondary dam. This second dam is build downstream to catch
the overflow which creates a pond which counterbalances the downward pressure on the first
dam. Then a third dam is build upstream to prevent a sudden rush of water following a sudden
downpour. Brilliant.
However their numbers are being decimated* by trappers.
So this lovely creatury is being sacrificed so that their pelts can be used as a fashion accessory.
Sick or what?Thought for today: Are we humans any better than other animals?
* Decimated. I was once told off for using this term in a report by my then managing director. He wrote that it meant reduced by or to ten. Actually according to the dictionary I could use it in the context I was describing!
Joke for today:- In his spare time my granddad races pigeons. I don't know wht as he never beats them.

Why do we answer the phone first?
Hi there,
Have you noticed that the phone ringing nearly always takes precedence over someone who has come to see you?
It's possible that a person has come miles to meet with you and then the phone rings and we pick it up to answer the person who lives next door. Odd isn't it?

schadenfreude
There was great merriment in the Daily Express yesterday as even? the Germans fell foul of the
wintry weather.
It is interesting how we stereotype people and countries. Germany has this reputation for being very efficient.
I'm sure in lots of ways they are but having worked for a German company for 14 years I found
that this reputation was a complete myth. The things that went wrong were just as numerous as
in the UK and I suspect many other countries as well.
Still I'm still working on my internet business www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp

The Law of Attraction
Hi there,
I'm very interested in the Law of Attraction which I first heard of when watching The Secret video. (If you haven't seen that video or read the book then you should!)
Anyrate I digress.
Last night I heard a talk which was by a religious leader but struck a chord with me because of my understanding of the Law of Attraction.
This young man explained that back in the year 2000 he was invited to go to Sydney,
Australia as a volunteer to help at the Olympic Games. As he was a student at the
time and the prices of air tickets way out of his price range he replied that he
wouldn't be able to go. Even so he had really set his heart on going.The person
inviting him told him to leave it a week and they would talk again.During that week
this gentleman had to fly back to his university. To cut a long story short his
plane got into trouble and had to crash land.
As a result of that terrifying experience he was given a free ticket by the airline.
This ticket enabled him to fly anywhere in the world. So guess where he went?
Just goes to show that if you have faith then a way will be provided although maybe
not quite in the way you expect!
Joke for today:- If a pig loses his voice is he gruntled?

Great Weekend
Hi there.
Had a great weekend as Sue & I went to see my son Stephen & his partner Joe.
They live in Norwich which is one of my favourite cities.
Sue went to do some family history in the local library which is fabulous whilst Stephen, Joe and I went and looked around Norwich.
We had a bit of excitement at lunchtime when Sue discovered she had left her handbag which had her mobile phone and all her cards in at a local pub.
Fortunately she got it back with nothing missing.
Then when we were leaving on Sunday morning I backed into a wall. Not too much damage to the car just annoyed with myself!
Still it was a great weekend.
Whilst we were away Chris was working on my new website with the Six Figure Mentors Group which is nearly finished.I'm still getting a lot of interest in one of my other sites www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp.

The Health and Safety Brigade
Hi there,
Back in the 1970's when I had to drive around the country a lot on business there was always a lot of advice about what to do in snowy weather.
If you got stuck in your car you were advised to keep a window partially open or leave a door open, run the engine for 20 minutes at a time, check the exhaust was clear etc etc.
Despite a massive new health and safety industry they don't appear to say much about how to survive today. More concerned about people standing on step ladders.
In fact I had a laugh when a handyman I know who has had 40 years experience was sent on a course about how to handle screwdrivers!If he had survived 40 years he hardly needed training.
Anyrate enough of the moan. Keep smiling

Isn't central heating great.
Hi there,
I got thinking this morning as I wearily raised myself from my bed in my nice warm bedroom about when I was a boy.
In my parents house, well bungalow actually, we only had a coal fire in the living
room so the other rooms got very cold. In fact in the morning we had to scrape the frost and ice off the INSIDE of the windows of the bedrooms.
We did in fact have fireplaces in the bedrooms but just after the war we could not afford to keep a fire in all of them. In fact when I was ill one time my father got a shovel and put the living room fire into a bucket and moved it to my bedroom in the evening.
So we are really blessed to have the benefits of central heating in most properties today.
Thought for today:- Do you appreciate the modern appliances we now have?

The Master Key System
Hi,
I'm reading a good book called The Master key System by Charles F. Haanel.
It was originally published in the early part of the 20th century although it is still relevant today.
Very thought provoking although the language is a bit dated.
Thought for today:- Are you reading any good books which are making you think?

It was originally published in the early part of the 20th century although it is still relevant today.
Very thought provoking although the language is a bit dated.
Thought for today:- Are you reading any good books which are making you think?
Todays joke:- A quarter of all married men kiss their wife goodbye when they leave the house.Of these same men 90% will kiss their house goodbye when they leave their wife

In 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbour
In 1991 the Serbs bombarded Dubrovnik
and in 1783 William Pitt became prime minister at the age of 24.

Great drama
I went Christmas shopping at Westfields in Derby last Friday.
There was a great drama when a car caught fire in the underground car park and everyone had to be evacuated from the centre.
Westfields is a large shopping mall/complex so you can imagine the thousands of people standing around outside for an hour until the all clear was given.
I was very impressed with the security personnel who managed to clear the centre so quickly and efficiently.
Also i think the management of Westfields did an excellent marketing touch by allowing all the cars to exit without paying. They must have lost a lot of money but their customer relations has improved for the longer term.
An excellent job by all.
Getting excited about the six figure mentors webinar which is due this week.Watch this space
Thought for today: How does the person who drives the snowplough get to work?
Joke for today:- I rang up a local builder and said I want a skip outside my house.
I'm not stoppimg you he replied.
On this day:- 6th December
In 1926 Claude Monet died
In 1921 26 southern states in Ireland were granted independence
In 1988 Roy Orbison died

Brilliant Webinar
I attended a brilliant webinar last night hosted by Stuart one of my mentors.
It was all about how the Six FigureMentors group (of which I am a founding member) is developing.
There is an excellent new training system for marketing on the internet being developed.
It is nearly finished and once up and running will be one of the best if not the best training system on the market.
Just needs a few finishing touches before going live.
If interested go now to http://www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp/
Thought for today:- Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected?
Joke for today:- My dog has an ingrowing tail. I have to have him x-rayed to find out if he is happy.
On this day:- December 2nd
In 1859 John Brown was hanged for treason
In 1840 Napoleon crowned himself emperor

What a journey
Hi,
Had to drive back home from Yorkshire last night along the M1. This journey normally takes about an hour but because of the weather conditions took us over 3 hours.
For a long while we were only doing 10 miles per hour following in the tracks of the vehicle in front. Snow had covered all the road markings.
Still we did better than the north bound carriageway which had come to a standstill because of jack-knifed lorries.
Snow is lovely to look at and play in but a b----- nuisance when travelling.
Still apart from that had a good trip.
Thought for today:- Do you enjoy life whatever the weather or do you let circumstances dictate your attitude?
Joke for today:- Advice to single girls. Don't look for a husband, look for a batchelor.
On this day:- 1st December
In 1834 the slaves of the British Cape Colony were emancipated causing much resentment by the Boers.
In 1990 the Channel Tunnel linking Britain and France was completed.
In 1935 Woody Allen was born
In 1939 Lee Trevino was born
