I’ve always been told to think before you speak and I’d like to think I’m pretty good at it. However it seems that the world is against me in this matter. There are a bunch of phrases out there that don’t make sense.

1. You can’t have your cake and eat it.

When I first heard this I wanted to ask a couple of questions. Are there lots of people out there who have cake but don’t eat it? And does the fact that when I have cake I eat it make me a bad person?

2. There is an exception to every rule.

This doesn’t make sense. If there was an exception to every rule then there would be an exception to this rule, meaning that there is a rule without an exception meaning that this rule isn’t true.

I know I’m over thinking this, I know it doesn’t matter as much as I’m making out but they still annoy me. However while writing this I google ‘phrase’ and ended up on the Wikipedia page. It’s amazing reading the technical aspects behind a phrase and definitely worth a read.

Enjoy,

Initially I thought I was late to the podcast party and it’s day had come and past. However since then I have realised that as people get used to watching tv on demand through the likes of Netflix, iPlayer, 4OD, etc then there’s no reason why they wouldn’t want radio-on-demand. I just think the issue is people don’t see podcasts as radio-on-demand. They see it as it’s own thing, with it’s own shows and as time goes on that isn’t the case. Only time will tell on podcasts but personally I love them and think they’re a great way to spend a long commute home.

With that in mind I thought I’d give you a taster of what I listen to. I generally prefer the non-fiction category but on a wide range of subjects. In alphabetical order they are:
