Have you read Malcom Gladwell's Tipping Point or Blink?

I read them and found them interesting, then I saw this:

Anyone interested in coming along, Mon 24 Nov 2008 evening, about ?20?


And has anyone seen the big haired fella speaking before? Is he any good?

They're of the "social observations" genre, an interesting read about stuff that happens with people and society, a bit like Freakanomics. I picked up Tipping Point at the airport and liked it so I bought the other one later, to be honest didn't realise there is/was a fuss about them. If you like non-fiction, people watching and are curious about how and why some things happen in the world and society you will probably like these. It won't change your life but some parts might make you stroke your chin, look skywards and say hmmmmm.


Let me know if that appeals and you want to borrow them.

    • Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.  
    • Just found a link for LB Southwark wildlife and ecology. Suggest all those listing in disgust to read some of this.  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife
    • Don’t they do it every year?
    • My word, we are in agreement on something!  It's good that there are wildlife areas. I cultivate one too.  But this thread is a bit knee jerk. Time would be better spent lobbying Southwark and other big landowners to create more wildlife havens.
