DISQUS

I just found your blog via your "win" of three sins on Twitter... I grew up in England and those three toys are EXACTLY the three I would have picked. And there was a Fisher Price chatter telephone which made a noise as you pulled it along, and had moving eyes. Happy days :-)

*that* is such a great idea!

Hi John,

Just on my way back to France from eBay Live right now, and wanted to say thank you for an excellent and inspirational talk yesterday.

Your point about doing *just one thing* was a great thing to say at eBay Live - it's so easy to go home with a ream of notes about all the amazing things you're going to do... and then do nothing at all.

So I am going to make my one thing to make sure I am out of bed an hour earlier every day: I'm sure that if I can do that one thing, all the other things on my list will become that bit easier. :-)

I have two big dogs, who have to be walked for an hour or two every day. Because I don't have any option BUT to walk the dogs, I'm forced to take the time out and walk through the beautiful woodland near here... very good for the soul.

I feel your pain. I live in France but my first language is English, and having people make assumptions about what language I speak based on my IP address is SO annoying.

We're VERY interested to see how you get on with this!

That's hilarious :-D
