Just to mention

Do remember when( checking your corporate diary) making contact to give as much notice as possible as to when you would prefer to meet.

Also not to waste your time or mine (as my website states,more than once) i am exclusive to MATURE,PROFESSIONAL GENTLEMEN ONLY.

When considering a day/time to meet do either call or email as text messages will always be ignored.Alternative email address irishcharmhj@fastmail.net

Do  leave a message on voicemail if necessary.

If you are like minded,ie.,enjoy intelligent conversation,theatre visits,fine dining etc., of course this comes with maturity,i would be more than happy for you to make contact.(Obviously having fun,unwinding and thouroughly enjoying one anothers company would be paramount)

Were your schedule to allow a relaxing 2 or 3 hours then i would still be happy to meet.

Meeting under the above circumstances bodes well and gives memorable moments.

Look forward to your call/email x

 

 

 

 

 

2012 Wishing You Your Best Ever Year

You may read or hear more than once,those three little words ‘Happy New Year‘  wether via an email,within a blog,in a letter or phone.

Two words:New and Year are quite obvious to all.

Yet ’Happy’ has an entirely different meaning to each and every person.

Happy to one person could be: that fantastic holiday you had always promised yourself.

It can also mean:

Seeing a smile on the face of someone you haven’t seen for a while.

Or

Continue to support your chosen charity.

Or

It could mean knowing your health is in tip top condition.

 

And of course there are many other reasons,which are too numerous yet still as important as the above to each individual.

 

Hence the title of this post:2012  Wishing You Your Best Ever Year,in straightforward translates to:

I wish you Your Best Ever Year in 2012 which in turn will bring you much happiness.

To each person i have met as yet(and to those whom i am still to meet)2012 is i hope for you all you are wishing for and more.

Taxi arriving in a short while,off to enjoy New Years Eve x

Smile its Christmas

Tis the season of goodwill and remember if you don’t have Christmas in your heart.you will not find it under the christmas tree.

There are many’ politically correct’ statements used in almost every avenue of your life and christmas is no exception .The following poem may well encourage a wry smile.

 

Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was a wreck.

How to live in a world that’s politically correct.

His workers no longer would answer to ‘Elves’.

“Vertically challenged” they were calling themselves.

And labour conditions at the North Pole,

were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.

- – - – - – - -

Four reindeer had vanished without much properiety,

released to the wilds,by humane society.

And equal employment had made it quite clear,

that Santa had best not use just reindeer.

So Dancer and Donna,Comet and Cupid

were replaced with 4 pigs and you know that looked stupid.

- – - – - – - -

So . . . . half of the reindeer were gone, and his wife

who suddenly said she’d had enough of this life

joined a self help group,packed and left in a whiz,

demanding from now on her title was Ms.

 

- – - – - – - -

No football,no baseball,someone might get hurt

besides,playing sports exposed kids to dirt.

Dolls were said to be sexist and should be passe

and Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.

 

- – - – - – - -

 

So,Santa just stood there,disheveled and perplexed,

he just couldn’t figure out what to do next?

His sack was quite empty,it was flat to the ground,

nothing fully acceptable was anywhere to be found.

Poem now complete,you may want to consider:

It’s not what you spend at Christmas,it’s who you spend it with.

 

Not many photos,logos or colourful entries within the posts i pop onto my blog ,yet i think you will agree words paint a thousand pictures.

 

May the Christmas you have be the best ever x

Kensington

Two days of bliss with Mr – - – - – - – -   who was thoughtful,respectful and certainly enjoyed the finer things in life.(As  with the protocol i follow i do on each occasion only meet with such gentlemen )

A birthay(yes,mine)was celebrated over those two days,being pampered,not forgetting shopping in Harrods.

Kensington has so much to offer:

One evening dining at The Ledbury and the next enjoying Italian cuisine on a visit to Aspleys

Daytime was spent as mentioned above shopping and we also visited Kensington Gardens, strolling along absorbing every peaceful moment.

And late into the evening after each stunning meal at two fabulous restaurants i would not divulge any of our private and memorable moments.

Two days  which flew by as only two days can when like minds meet x x              

 

End October:YouTube Idea

Do you ever have that eureka moment,yes you do!

End of October yes that eureka moment occurred.

With Social Networking being the biggest thing since sliced bread,it seems quite uncool not to be included.

Hence i made enquiries regarding a YouTube promotion slideshow,yes sounds very technical yet extremely effective.

Link Twitter to Youtube to Facebook and in 3 easy steps your profile literally jumps to the top rung on the promo ladder.

Great when someones idea becomes the next advertising opportunity for all !!

 

 

Hampshire

On returning from a recent(overdue)visit to friends in Hampshire and reading through a backlog of emails,a similar question cropped up in more than half a dozen of those emails.

Question.

Would i consider travelling to London?

Would i consider travelling to York?

Would i consider travelling to Harrogate?

Would i consider travelling to  Oxford?

Would i consider travelling to Bath?

 The answer would be ‘yes’ i would travel to all of the above areas.

You may have spent  many hours travelling on those hectic motorways and then  having to attend that  necessary conference and lengthy business meetings and a need to unwind in relaxed surroundings is of course is given a  priority.

I can recommend the following hotels which naturally deliver the relaxed ambience to enhance our liason.

http://www.balmoralhotel.co.uk

http://www.oldbank-hotel.co.uk

http://www.lucknampark.co.uk    This particular hotel has the benefit of an equestrian centre,a visit to enjoy a ‘saddle and spa’ break over two days was so refreshing.The spa was a thorough treat after horse riding through  5 acres surrounding this hotel.

London has of course many 4 and 5 star hotels,The Savoy, The Goring etc.,

All of the above hotels house the finest of restaurants.

Were you to have a hotel in mind,which you prefer(and  would be more or less on a par with the above) do email details  when enquiring as to availability.

For the Better

Social Media can be a platform for the more positive point of view.Good can spring from the majority of the 300+ networking sites.

These platforms can support and raise the profile of  many charities such as:

http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk

 

http://www.britishlegion.org.uk

 

http://www.rainbowtrust.org.uk 

Many celebrities give to one or more charities of their choice,at times without any acknowledgement.

David Walliams recently swam the  River Thames (140 miles) and raised £1m for Sport Relief.He mentioned ‘sheer determination’helped him to complete the task.

Social Media can also be a clever marketing tool.

Notice those icons appearing, here there and everywhere.Advertise!Advertise!Advertise!

Twitter,Technorati,Bebo,Digg.blogger,Tumblr,Facebook,Linkedin,Stumbleupon and many,many more.

Add to this YouTube  and your audience becomes involved to the extent you may become almost the same as a daily read of their favourite newspaper/magazine.Encouraging feedback from your ardent followers creates a need for  further and more knowledgable comments.Similar to a ‘getting to know’ the character of the  person who writes the words.Their point of view,your point of view etc.,etc.,  

Herein could be an opportunity for the budding entrepreneur to create a Social Media Management company,which may well handle the daily input to the majority of the relevant social networking sites.

 

For the above reasons Social Media/Networking happens to be the way forward, a  positive way forward. 

 

York

York courtesy of Mr —– who, during his business trip  which covers 2 days(22nd/23rd Sept). He described(once, necessary if somewhat stressful meetings were complete)  would be much more relaxed, were i to join him. 

The peaceful villages and picturesque market towns,a refreshing change to the hustle and bustle of major cities. 

The Liquid Art Gallery will be one of the ‘must’ visit venues(a favourite artist at this gallery-David Barrow-where fine examples of his artwork are displayed,take a peek at the website  http://www.liquidartgallery.co.uk  ) 

Mr —–  has  mentioned two of his/my favourite restaurants which are a mere 60 minute drive from York city.

French classical cuisine  at  http://www.theboxtree.co.uk 

Also http://www.yorke-arms.co.uk   both michellin starred.

Mr —– giving as much importance to relaxation,as he does to his busy,busy schedule. 

Suffice to say mentioning an exact hotel would not be at all discreet, it is a hidden gem and will stay that way.

 

 

 

A Sombre Day

A sombre day, exactly 10 years ago today will stay in the memories of many,many Americans and many  people around the world.

Thoughts and prayers with anyone who lost a loved one on that awful awful day 9/11
