[TAG-TEC]Eammon Holmes[/TAG-TEC] is a broadcaster and writer here in the UK. This morning on his Saturday morning slot on 5 Live he was looking for people that could corroborate his sighting of a Penguin at Belfast airport yesterday evening. This just deserves a wider audience as it really made me smile.
Eammon claims that as he arrived at Belfast departures he saw a penguin in the road and furthermore that two taxis had to steer round them. Rather puzzled and perturbed he tried to find a policeman – who can never be found when you want one. He went to a reception desk where his remonstrations about this penguin were not taken very seriously.
So there he was on this programme this morning appealing for other witnesses to this remarkable sighting. His co-presenters were less than supportive and Eammon was sadly appealing to the better nature of Joe public as he clearly was anxious about the plight of a penguin wandering about the streets of Belfast.
Well the e-mails arriving at the programme, read out with some relish by his studio companions were hilarious and left Eammon sounding more and more defeated in his attempts to get anyone to take him seriously.
Typical message:
Yes I saw a penguin in Belfast last night closely followed by a giraffe on roller skates.
or how about:
I was off to a fancy dress party dressed as a penguin last night in Belfast when I saw Eammon Holmes, can someone please confirm that sighting.
So for Eammon’s peace of mind if you spot a penguin in Belfast – do turn it in – it’s several thousands of miles from home.

About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
