You ever seen that Liam Nesson film “Taken”? It’s about this guy who was a real bad ass CIA operative whose daughter goes to France because she knows better than him about everything. She of course gets kidnapped by a ruthless gang of people traffickers who intend to sell her to some guy who is kind of evil I guess since he buys women. Although he’s retired and not 100% in the game he manages to track her all over Europe killing numerous people in the process before bringing her home safe & unmolested where she then realises how great her father is even though he is a law unto himself & has violent tendencies when he doesn’t get his way.
It’s actually a remake of an old film with Dustin Hoffman & Robin Williams called “Hook”. Dustin Hoffman kidnap’s Robin Williams’s kids and takes them off to a distant land. In an attempt to get them back he must use what he learned in his old life to kill him in a bizarre twist of fate scenario before Hoffman molests his kids. After the fact the kids then forgive there murdering dad for his past & realise how lucky they are to have such a great father who would go to such murderous and cruel lengths to protect them.

Warm Up, Warm Up!!!
Ok its cold I get it. I don't need the news to be a non stop reminder that if I leave my house I could die on the roads...or if I stay in my house I could freeze to death in my sleep. You know your Scottish when your talking to your friends down South who keep saying how cold it is but its not as cold as you up there...I didn't know what they were talking about until my car told me it was 20 degrees below zero when I left for work.
I just don't notice it, cold is cold I don't feel more or less cold based on the temperature, but living alone during this bad winter has made me notice something about my human behaviour and of course that’s what Economics is all about. According to Alfred Kinsey the average man’s sex drive will decrease in colder temperatures and even when you’re single that is true. It’s like that statistic, “men think about sex every 6 seconds”. But in the cold temperatures it takes longer to get back to thinking that fast.
Now as an Economist I’ve always had a little niggle about a product on the market, but it’s now (in my view) a very, very smart, this now leads us to my next lesson; what’s a Core Product & what’s an Augmented Product?
Core Products are your main kind starting products or the fundamental features of the product meet the users needs.
An Augmented Product is something that provides additional value to your purchase.
That’s when I realised that this product that I found so odd is actually a perfect example of a core & augmented product, developed & produced by the same company…condoms!
Your core product is…the condom, of course the fundamental features being to stop the spread of STD’s and pregnancy in women. You would think that would be enough for some people but no…ribbed for her pleasure!!!!!
Adding value by augmenting the core product to make it more pleasurable to women. Opening up the sale of condoms to basically…selfish men who want an easy fix for there lacklustre performances in the bedroom.
Then after that these condom companies took a product that you can’t really advertise heavily as it is a product with a big embarrassment factor (even in this day & age) and just made it more embarrassing…now with aesthetic to help you with premature ejaculation!!!! How on earth would you have the baws to buy that? They sell feather light ones so you can feel more why would you want one that makes you numb?
Users fundamentally need not to catch itchy cock diseases or get some lassie up the duff but now you can buy a rubber for every occasion. Now this used to make me wonder but after feeling the cold coming through the windows in the morning I’m contemplating wearing 3 socks to bed.
For the life of me I couldn’t imagine who on Earth would buy a condom that warms your cock? Is that not on par with putting ralgex on it? But in this sub zero temperatures you are literately taking your life in your hands…putting it in your hands or anyone’s hands.
I mean lets face it even single guys would buy them just to save them having to put the heating on…or risk rubbing the skin clean off it.
Here end'th the lesson

Law of Diminishing Returns
Now I do feel like I have teaching blood in my veins so every so often I will be dishing out a little bit of knowledge to anyone who cares for it. This will often come in the form of little gems from my years as an Economics student.
Today's lesson is on the Law of Diminishing Returns. The standard definition of the law from any Econ 101 Text is...
“When increasing amounts of one factor of production are employed in production along with a fixed amount of some other production factor, after some point, the resulting increases in output of product become smaller and smaller.”
As an Economic student I always liked making it fun, so I often come up with real life examples that I could relate to. The easy way to remember the Law Of Diminishing returns when you are really drunk is this. Imagine a dance floor, which is of a fixed size say fifteen feet by fifteen feet. The dance floor is made of stone and no drinks are allowed onto it, dancing out with the specified dance area is strictly prohibited. Now dance floors have one variable factor that can be increased and decreased and that is dancers. In this case we will assume that the entire dance floor is for women only.
One woman on the dance floor shaking her ass is enjoyable to watch. Lets say her short skirt and pink boob tube under the flashing lights of the rig above give you and utility (or enjoyment factor) of three. Three what is entirely up to you, just don’t get carried away it’s just a dance.
Now two women ass shaking is more enjoyable as they do like to bump and grind with each other in very seductive ways. Watching this kind of dancing you can let your mind wander a bit further…perhaps there really good friends. Perhaps they’re having a sleep over tonight, perhaps after a glass of wine in there top floor flat over looking the Clyde they decided its time to explore those feelings they have had for so long. All this in mind we would receive on average an enjoyment value of nine. Greater in value than simply adding another single woman to the floor dancing by herself.
Now add eight more, tits and ass shaking all over the place, this sight would make most porn stars turn white. Perhaps they even do a little choreographed set, pairing up and performing a supposedly spontaneous jive number. This is when the enjoyment level begins to peak everyone watching is now as happy as they are going to get.
However, after this point every extra woman on that dance floor doesn’t increase your enjoyment level the same as the last. Movement gets restricted, perhaps the girls are quite bitchy and don’t want to gyrate as much with there rivals so close to them. By the time you reach fifteen women we can already see a drop in enjoyment as we stand back corona in hand watching the carnage unfold in front of us, swinging elbows and dirty looks all over the place. Add enough women and eventfully your enjoyment level will go into negative as the floor full of hot girls just isn’t shaking it no more it’s more a pen of young ladies slightly hoping up and down.
As we can see from the graph the dance floor cannot sustain an increase in enjoyment when we increase the variable factor in this example.

Keep It Up
You know the place. It's in every shopping mall you ever go to that little Herbalist Store offering authentic, all natural weight loss pills, acupuncture massage, migraine pills. All natural: All pish! I'm walking past my local one when I see a sign getting put up..."Super Herbal Viagra".
I mean come on...how hard does your dick have to be? Is it even safe to get your dick harder than it enjoys being? I can't imagine people who suffer from impotence to be that enthralled with the prospect that not only will this stuff get it up for you...it will do it better than most other drugs even to the detriment to your cocks own well being.
The word SUPER had been written diagonally, quite tight to the edge. This suggests that he was selling some Herbal Viagra quite happily when all of a sudden some new age hippy dealer strolls in and laughs in his face.
"HA!! you still selling that shit? No wonder your going out of business. You need the new stuff just found in the rain Forest...SUPER herbal Viagra. You should see the animals out there man after they get a few bites of this, running around with huge hard on's".
So the guy thinks "yeah great bin this normal herbal Viagra, what a rip off I can't believe I was so stupid to buy this crap last week when you came in and sold it to me...give me the super stuff!!!"

Harsh times at Glasgow High
Well that's it, I'm 27 & theres not much I can do about it. I'm struggling to come to terms with how fucked up I still feel sometimes. Day to day nothing changes things get more expensive and things get less expensive. New shows are on TV and old shows get repeated. I thought by this point I would be...lets say a different person. I do feel different in a lot of ways although I'm still what you would call young but lets face it 27 that's old. If you haven't got something in your life at this point worth having chances are you ain't going to get it at all.
27 years and my handwriting is still terrible, but my pancakes taste better than ever.
27 years and I still can't make pasta, but I know everything about the Simpson's.
27 years and I'm still the shyest person I know, but I'm also the most honest.
27 years I couldn't pass a maths test without a calculator, but I can quote Adam Smith no problem.
27 years and I'm still hanging on.
Anyway, here's to a new year.

Baking Tips
I thought it might be fun for my next Economics lesson for people to pick there favorite Economic tit bit and i will do my best to put into a funny example. So don't be shy write in and I will get cracking.
Other than that not much is happening, I'm finding it tough to write something everyday. So I'm going to make pancakes tonight, now I happen to be the Worlds best pancake maker and I have decided to share the secret with you all.
Step one. Pour self raising flour in a bowel
Step two. Pour sugar in the same bowel
Step three. Add as many eggs as you want
Step four. Chuck some milk in and mix to the thickness you wish
That's it really I just guess and it just works. But think on this little fact that I truly believe in. When you cook something with love and affection you can taste it. People eating food prepared by you notice the difference to something that has been cooked for all the wrong reasons. Once you eat it, it can totally change you mood hopefully for the better. When I cook I do it cause I want to and I enjoy it. Even the most humbling of dishes can be saved by this fact.

They Live
Life is a bit odd sometimes, you think you run the gamete on your thoughts and paranoia but as I have found out the World is such a big place there are a lot of people who are just as messed up as you.
Case in point my new friend, Kit (funny I know I grump like me still making friends at my age), suffers from the same problem I do...she knows! She knows that the sofas with legs are a danger to everyone we know & love. She knows they move fast and can kill you quicker than an Emu. She knows the psychic powers they have to communicate can track a human across the globe...in short there is no escape
For those of you that have forgotten the cows are still out there, they still keep there heads down and they use the psychic powers to keep people from finding out the truth but I've found someone else who can see past there act.
