I'm sure Alex and Dylan will be surprised to hear that I think the answer to this is probably "Yes", though we might disagree about what (in an ideal world) should or shouldn't be private information.

Dylan,

Two comments:

1. Your fellow guest was clearly an intelligent man and put his points across well, albeit on flawed assumptions (most MDOs of SMEs will be 50-plus in 10 years from now, not 30 as he assumes). But the problem is with the less-well grey-matter endowed. An IQ of 100 is average. Thus for every genius of IQ 150+ there is an imbecile of IQ 50-. These are the vulnerable, and I suggest all shades in between. As a corporate product manager responsible for writing user manuals I was taught "never under-estimate the stupidity of customers".

2. What in God's name did you have on your feet! Pinstripe suit + unpolished brown winkle-pickers will not get you the best dressed man of the year award!

Having an IQ of 150+ does not stop you being stupid and lacking any common sense. In fact it makes more likely that you don't have common sense.

Don't cut the grass around your mother's grave - you might hurt someone Sometimes writing for this blog is very depressing. Derek Evans is a 67 year old former soldier. His mother is buried in a a graveyard in Cannock in Staffordshire. He mowed the grass there to keep it nice and tidy. Not just the spot around his mother's grave - once he started he thought he'd carry on and do the lot. The jobsworths at the Council have told him that as he was without public liability insurance he was banned from carrying on - despite the fact, as Mr Evans points out in stark terms, "the only people I was...

Smokers harrassed - with the encouragement of a school, and the co-operation of the police Students at the Hundred of Hoo Comprehensive School in Medway have been running up to smokers in the street, shouting "ciggy busters" and snatching their cigarettes from them. And filming themselves doing it. Should you wish to, you can find these self-righteous little vigilantes on YouTube. Here's a quote from the responsible "adult" from the school in the write-up in the Medway Messenger: I was scared about doing something so crazy on the street - I mean you can get arrested. And should be. And here's a quote from the write-up at This is Kent: Kent police in Medway were...
