Friends Central Perk

Today, I went to town to buy new shirts.
With the High Holidays coming up, I needed some white shirts and with my finances so low I decided to go to the place where clothing is cheap: Primark!
I entered the store on Market Street, smiled at the nod of the indoor cafe called 'The Central Perk', obviously in reference to the hit TV show, Friends, and entered the lift to go downstairs to the Men's section.
I got to the formal shirts and saw that they were on sale at £6 each! What a thrill! I thought that according to Murphy's Law, they wouldn't have my size. I asked staff if they had but unfortunatly they didn't.
 So I left and went to other stores only to see prices of £30 a shirt! Fun and games... 
As I was anyway in town, I entered several stores and redeemed my birthday treats for free donuts and cookies. Such fun to get treats from stores just for being born!
I noticed that in Subway, all I needed to do was show my phone screen to get a free biscuit and the offer is valid for a month. 
I wonder what's to stop people from going every day to Subway for the whole month and getting a biscuit every day.
If any of my followers work in the Subway marketing team, note the problem and fix it for your sake.
Going back to the shirts, luckily I remembered a friend who works in Asda, George, and gave him a call and he said he'll pick me up shirts for me. I don't know if he wants me to say his name here but if you see this blog, thanks mate!
In life sometimes we don't get what we want, but life compensates you in other ways. It's important to look at the compensation that life gives and not only at the dismal parts of life.
As Joey says in Friends, "These are just feelings. They’ll go away."

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
