How do you start a blog? Well I am on my lunch break from teaching students. I am a Uni lecturer. I feel a bit thick today as a couple of the students look quite bright but by tomorrow I will feel better. So I have had my butty and I will get back to work in a bit. So how do start a blog you just type whatever you feel like. As for the name brainstorm well it stems from my angst at over fussiness on political correctness. Brainstorm is not now the term to use when you get a group of students together and ask them to scribble thoughts onto a flip chart. The preferred term is now ‘ ideas shower’. I think it is the worry of offending people with epilepsy or something. I have never met anyone with epilepsy who has been offended by the term brainstorm. I have met people who get offended by the term black coffee we are supposed to say coffee without milk. Strangely it is usually white liberal people who bother about such things, as black people are worrying about true racism to worry about intricacies.

Anyway I have started my blog and I need to say I am not against political correctness I just think there is a tendency to be over elaborate in some cases.
