Blogger and speaker Greg Savage is fed up with people showing up late and has this to say about it: No, you are not ‘running late', you are rude and selfish. This editor has always (barring the occasional extenuating circumstances) tended to agree with Savage's take, but your take may vary. [The Savage Truth]

How To Make Perfect Microwave Porridge
I am passionate about porridge. I eat it every day and it is the king of breakfasts.
It is also a malleable breakfast. It's convenient. If your office or home has a microwave you are only five minutes away from a delicious hot meal that will sustain you until lunch and beyond.
I am a porridge samurai. I've been cooking porridge in a microwave practically every working day for the past three years. During this time I have sharpened my sword. Today I would like to share with you my techniques.
What Is The Best Password Manager?
It’s no secret we’re very into data security and online privacy, and one of the easiest steps you can take is to use a password manager to generate (and store) strong, very-difficult-to-crack passwords. Even if you don’t care about the security aspects — perhaps you think you’re unhackable — they’re an incredibly convenient way to remember your passwords for all the sites and services you subscribe to.

I would like someone to do a study on the link between running late and depression. When it is depression related, turning up is better than giving up.

Lateness can result from anxiety or depression. It's rude and selfish on the blogger's part to claim such a statement.
Chris while that is true it can also cause anxiety. I know it does for me. I have so many dead lines and then have some idiot go get a coffee and have a chat with a mate before a meeting. Then that 30 mins of time wasted turns into an hour.
