Stuff
Stuff is a great word isn’t it? I use it loads to describe all sorts of…well stuff.
In this case though it means a collection of news and tidbits that I’ve been reading/thinking about and pondering over the last few days…
I was very glad to see Jeremy Clarkson and co. on this week’s Top Gear agree with my blog post in March on how boring people have become when picking colours for their new cars. Come on people, there are more colours other than silver or black. Maybe I should start a campaign to bring a bit of colour to our cars?
Over 230 people voted in my Revels poll and I’m delighted that coffee won!! Come on Mars, bring it back ASAP!

Hi to my new blog sponsors CPays. For bingo/poker/casino affiliate programmes they rock!
I love this post from Scott at Self Made Minds. There are some silly people out there!

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I am the founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com, ContentNow.co.uk and some other businesses. I thought it would be fun to blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
Stuff … sometimes ’stuff’ can be just the right word … a bunch of stuff. But sometimes it’s the user being lazy - shades of Orwell’s ‘newspeak’ there, unused words fall out of the vocabulary, and the less words that are available the less we can say.
The translation for ’stuff/thingy/wotsit’ is useful to know when learning a foreign language though, it can very useful when you don’t know the real word to use, and makes you sound like a local too. (In french it’s ‘truc’, pronounced ‘trook’.
I must be feeling linguistically philosophical today!

I enjoyed Top Gear this week, it’s totally true people are getting dull with their choices but one of the reasons is that alternate colours are becom,ing increasingly stupid, hyper metallic burnt orange and pearl-mint are not very nice alternatives!
I have to disagree about the coffee Revels though, toffee and chocolate all the way!
Coffee won the Revels poll? Pah! Some people have no taste.
