I clearly no longer understand what agents or hiring managers want these days so I'll be reading 'The Art of War' on my £9.50 'Sun' caravan holiday this year.

Marcus Aurelius's Meditations are a good read and can be comforting when things are down.. When I go rome to Rome I invariably end up in the Capitoline Museum reading him whilst gazing at his equestrian statue.

Chapter 9 The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

What about:

"The Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius"?

I remember a thread a week ago where he was wondering where to go for his stag..

I was explaining that I'd been to the Embassy Club for my first Stag and that I didn't know where I was going to go for the next one...

Nice try though

Does this have anything to do with your facebook status a while back or am I in danger of starting a vicious rumor?
