I was sad to read that one of my all-time favourite bands, Rush, are "basically done" after 41 years of music making. At times, as a child, I would listen to their LPs incessantly and many of the lyrics have stuck with me through my life. A Farewell to Kings (1977) was the first Rush record I bought and these words are from the title song: When they turn the pages of history When these days have passed long ago Will they read of us with sadness For the seeds that we let grow? We turned our gaze From the castles in the distance Eyes cast down On the path of least resistance Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise As Rush sang in another song (Circumstances), quoting famous words attributed to Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr from the mid-19th century: "The more that things change, the more they stay the same." 40 years on, the last 4 Continue Reading
When does Legal Expenses Insurance cover you for a Personal Injury Claim?
Cammy Keith, the all-time leading goalscorer for Keith football club, went viral on social media following his side's lead to defeat to Rothes on 03 February 2018. Keith (the player) scored both goals for Keith (the team) and so, on results pages, it appeared as though he had almost achieved a near-impossible outcome: a draw where one player was up against a full team of 11 players. A tweet that he had put in the "quite the shift" was retweeted many times. Quite the shift for Keith on his own. pic.twitter.com/nkni1CMcvy — The Harry Wraggs (@THWtwit) February 3, 2018 In that case, the bare statistics gave a misleading impression as to whether it had been a fair match. As an injured person with a possible personal injury claim for compensation, it is never a fair match at the outset. You need to take every possible measure to tip the scales back to your side, even if you don't level them up completely. The scales are weighted in favour of the insurer on the other side Continue Reading

3 types of information your personal injury solicitor needs from you at the start
As Dan Pink notes in his 2018 book, When (The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing), by some estimates, about half the people in a typical marathon are taking part in a marathon for the first time. Another thing that links many first-time marathoners, as it turns out, is age. A scientific paper published in 2014 concludes that people search for meaning when they approach a new decade in chronological age. At certain ages, we are inspired to greater self-reflection than at others. Adults often examine their lives for existential meaning when they approach a new decade in age (29, 39, 49 etc.) – which can lead to behaviour that suggests an ongoing search for meaning. Exercising more intensely, with a view to participating in a marathon, is one example of such behaviour. This phenomenon was of interest to me because I completed my first marathon in 2017 – at the age of 49. It seems that reaching the end of a decade in life can shake up our thinking, directing what we do and how we Continue Reading
