The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Rumours say you could book into the Gansevoort and get the same benefits Andy. You could save on flights and get extra days.

You’re quite right Rob about how many companies say one thing then do things that show a quite different point of view, but as you’ve always said, strategy is only good until companies see how they can make more money short term.

How was your day of slumber?

Your suite is waiting Andy …

Hello Peggy. To answer your question, we’re not doing research on cheating habits per se, it’s just something we’re investigating as part of a bigger project we’re working on … and it’s bloody interesting though to be honest, Victoria’s Secret could ask us to sweep the floors and we’d still do it if we thought there was a chance we could peer backstage at one of their shows. [Which it doesn’t. Bugger!]

I think the choice of vitamins being offered are the perfect accompanyment to a free flowing champagne breakfast though the concept feels more at home with a hotel based in Las Vegas than one in Singapore. Where is it Robert, I have to visit next week.

So did you make it out of the business planning black hole unscathed Lee or are you suffering from [budget] cuts & bruises?

Eitherway, welcome back and I’ll send you the details of the hotel but I think it’s a little lo-fi for your sophisticated tastes. 🙂

And yes Marcus, as another of my resident alcoholic blog commentators, I had a feeling you would agree with Andy on the attractiveness of this hotel concept … but sadly for you, the drugs are strictly medicinal and the champagne is probably sparkling Blue Nun, but then like a glue sniffer, your view is that all alcohol is good alcohol. 🙂

Is that “Free” flow of sparkling wines, or “free flow” of sparkling wines?

The difference is crucial… 😀

1/ Apologies Niko … forgot you’re a man that knows his alcohol plus I’m a man that hasn’t got the faintest idea about his alcohol, other than it makes pissheads of his mates in 3 drops.

2/ Rob M, see above.

3/ Marcus, why the hell have you become a man of so few words. We need to do some mayhem together and sort out your mojo. Any iPod stupidity take your fancy?

my mojo is fine thank you.

hello sunshine! thank you for your answer 🙂

hello bazza! with emotional disturbance i meant that right after cheating, the evil-doer feels mixed or disturbed, due to the effect of adrenalin, serotonin, dopamin, oxytocin and whatever else is happening on a cellular level. the awareness of what they just did might increase or extend the disturbance. there might also be some sort of cognitive dissonance involved.

of course, the hormone system of women and men is not the same. but i bet if you make a blood test after a bungee jump, you will find that the adrenaline level of both genders’ blood has increased…

i actually think that a one off interaction might be about different feelings/emotions. it is more of a new thrill or kick than long term cheating. even more if you ve never done it before. i bet the guilt feeling in this case is even worse.

on the other hand, if you are having a ‘long term cheating relationship’, you are getting used to it (cognitive dissonance again, anyone?). you are getting smaller ‘positive kicks’- so to speak – out of that other person, but on an extended time scale. i bet the fear that your partner finds out, will prevail the feeling of guilt sooner or later. so where s the love? it seems to be a vicious circle. don t do it! 🙂

i have no bloody idea if all of this is true, as i am not talking out of experience. ha!

you know, i could say that those two people are the ones who will feel bitterness, in the end. but, not knowing enough, i better bite my tongue…
