Enjoying Fathers Day, family time

Great fathers day. Spent quality family time with my wife, our 3 boys and wives.  Relaxing and a basket of goodies including music,  wine,  chocolate etc...  Very tempting.

Music including Rush,  Clockwork Angels....  Brilliant

To all dad's out there...  We should no longer be macho male chauvinistic primates. 
We have a loving,  caring side that we need to nurture and show.
We are proud of our brood and offspring and these days are only another excuse to spend time with them.

Enjoy your day

Kings of Leon at London O2

Brilliant
Kings of Leon, supported by newbie group The Weeks.
Excellent show,  Kings of Leon were as expected... Astounding but the support act showed lots of promise.
Great musicians and lead singer is powerful and very listenable.  As kings of Leon said. 'They kick Arse'

Great night

Innovation in 21st century

The pace of life is ongoing,  more advances in technology and innovation on a daily basis.
Protection of ideas is very important however it becomes a stumbling block to progression. 
I had an idea a few years ago and invested time and money into it but resulting in no returns.  The idea is still good and very much needed but finding the right model to take the idea to market is an issue.

If anyone wants to share their experiences of this,  how to best tackle the process and success,  please add into this post?

I look forward to seeing some postings

Business show at excel centre, London

Great show with some very valuable links,  services and presentations,  logistics,  China, etc... .  Lots of strategic planning and building of ideas to implement innovative business... I even got a medal for sale Guinness book of records attempt at the HP stand...  Didn't do well,  no glasses and see broken finger....
Great fun though.

London, the Thames and the Emirates Air cable car

Got my first ride on the Emirates cable car 209 feet above the river Thames. Cutting across London with sheer class...  Great experience,  looking down at the majestic Thames and life around it.

A definite must do...

Mental Dental (MBP)

Mental Dental

Jessie Stack is an ordinary dentist in an ordinary situation who gets wrongly accused for the murder of a patient under her care. A patient suddenly dies in the dental surgery during a routine procedure. 

The ensuing investigation reveals that the patient died in the dental surgery, however, an open verdict is given.  Therefore, she is legally innocent, but being hounded by the press and her credibility is put to the test when patients no longer want to see her.

Jessie takes some time off and escapes to review her options and try and make sense of what has happened.  She comes from a long line of dentists and uses her influence to a crude investigative hunch to examine deaths in dental surgeries in the UK.  Through her research and access to privileged information gained through her contacts, she establishes that there have been 18 deaths in the last 12 years in dentistry and examines the information to reveal a very loose thread. 

The thread is that there are clusters of deaths, 3 people have died across different area / towns / cities / countries within the UK in a short period of time, they have died horrifically and within dental surgeries, seemingly by otherwise innocent dentists but the deaths are not seen as suspicious or connected. 

Each death has no connection or obvious motive but they fast become more daring and more horrific

The deaths occur in Scotland, England and Wales. They occur sporadically in clusters of 3 every few years. Because of the geographical spread, the crimes have been undetected and never connected, but she has a few suspicions that are confirmed when she establishes there are 3 killer dentists, 1 female and 2 males that are killing people across the UK. Jessie Stack uncovers that this is a sick game they have played since qualifying as dentists, one is a psychopath, the other a weak nerd and the female is an evil nymphomaniac.  However, this is not revealed until quite late on.

By the time she finishes her own investigation, and she has the evidence to support the allegation, she needs to tell the police, nevertheless, she has obtained the information through illegal means, therefore she has to tread carefully to disseminate the information without any comeback to her or her sources.

The Police agree to deal with the investigation results, furthermore as the deaths have occurred in such diverse places, they need to work across all affected areas of the UK and seem to do their own investigative work and assure Jessie is not implicated. This takes a little time to establish and during this time another patient is killed.

By this point, they have evidence and CCTV footage to implicate one of the suspects, who then reveals the plot.  They arrest the other two. When the arrests are made they find a secret bunker / basement full of files and video footage where they have recorded their misadventures and further evidence of killings, the builders they hired to dig this secret bunker.

It transpires they have been awarding themselves points for killing patients, additions for making it horrific, not getting caught.  Thereafter, having an orgy as a final reward every time they complete a cluster of deaths, filming their perversions for their own pleasure.

The moral of the story, if any, crime does not pay, all get caught eventually and the innocent will be vindicated. From prime suspect to heroine.

It also intonates that dentistry, however painful,  should not cause fatalities....

Unique, original and a memorable read...

How many books make it to film?

Barages of emails are received with offers of turning one of my books into a movie.
They come with a cost attached of course.  However I am interested to know if anyone reading this blog knows someone who's story has inspired a movie?
In deed if anyone has had a published book turned into a film?
Was this spontaneous or supported by financially driven means through a publisher?
It would be great as some books lend themselves to conversion to the silver screen.
I have always thought this would be great but equally very difficult to convert. The process of writing a book is a steep learning curve, writing a screen play..  A minefield

Your thoughts would be appreciated as would any links or tips...

I eagerly await your response
Thanks
Ram :-)
