Whilst it's always good to have the opinions of professional people it is also a good idea to have the opinions of ordinary `people. I think it's also very healthy to take current issues and events and discuss them sensibly over the airwaves. I also think it's good to have a bit of music to break up the serious material. In this podcast Neil's team has just won the FA Cup in Britain. This is of great importance to many fans.

We had a dreadful incident on the island of Tenerife where a lady was beheaded by a maniac. This has shocked a lot of people and we remembered that there used to be mental institutions where such people would have been kept in days gone by.

Manners and the behaviour of young people was another topic and we wondered whether or not children have been given too many pills and society is now paying the price. This developed into my comments about the food children eat and how behaviour is linked to E numbers.

Neil also told me that his mother was a big Frank Sinatra fan and we reminisced about how hard our mothers had to work in the old days. Neil's mum used to do her ironing whilst listening to Frank Sinatra. We discussed the effects
of a man and his music on the people who liked his work.

I don't necessarily think strong opinions are always the right opinions but I do think it is good to hear considered opinion and I like to have it given in a light-hearted context.

Why not take a few minutes and listen to our chat.....

If you have problems with your LCD screen, you have to find what the cause is. Maybe you can repair it or maybe you should replace it. What is for sure is the fact that every problem has a solution. If your LCD screen has dead pixels or the screen is actually broken, then the best solution is to replace it. If you will try to repair it, you will spend too much money. Otherwise, you can improve your picture by calibrating the screen. This way, the settings will be changed and you will be able to use your TV for a long time.

Like many people I was watching the television in disbelief last night and this morning as the full horror of the outrages in Norway have unfolded. Is it my imagination or do these events seem to be happening more regularly around the globe?

When we wake up; when we gain the realization of Reality; when we experience the Absolute we experience the Stillness, we experience ourselves, we know who we are. In the Stillness there is no limitation, there is no space or time, no thought and no mind, nothing ever existed; there are no problems, no distinctions between you and me or us and them; there is only unity. This experience of Reality may be gifted to you, as it was to me, or it may be something you find through true meditation, through the deliberate creation of stillness.

I am directing you to a podcast I made with Counsellor Annie Bennett. She had been working in the field of psychotherapy and counselling since 1994, when she trained and worked for Cruse Bereavement Care in North Surrey, England. She later trained for Surrey Alcohol and Drug Misuse and continued to work with them until spending time as a visiting therapist in the United States at The Meadows treatment centre for trauma and addiction. She was currently in private practice at Harley Street and I am running regular gender-specific love addiction workshops from January 2008.
