I’M YOUR MAN
Letters of the World’s Most Ambitious Job Applicant
See more at :- bit.ly/ImYourManLetters
www.facebook.com/SamBroadleyImYourMan/
Prime Minister. Galactic Pilot. Strictly Head Judge. Formula One Racing Driver. Pope.
These are just a few of the many outrageously ambitious job vacancies that Sam Broadley applied to fill over the course of 17 years, from England Manager aged 19 to James Bond at 36.
He was successful in none of them.
Nor was he likely to be. After all, he’s just a regular bloke… but with a sense of utter delusion that makes him believe that, by winning one of the very top jobs in society, he can, must and will change the world. Maybe even save it.
The letters are written at length and with the utmost seriousness, but littered with idiocy, stupendous over-confidence and absurd ideas of how Sam will overhaul the role and the organisation to take them beyond the stars.
And to add to the farce, the replies Sam receives are almost always exceptionally sensible – in complete contrast to the applications!
It is now available on Amazon in print and for Kindle. Sam also recorded an audio version, available on Audible, reading his own letters and achieving the coup of having Alan “Voice of the Balls” Dedicoat (National Lottery announcer, Strictly Announcer, former Radio 2 Newsreader) reading the replies.

The cost of the corporate Christmas: Brits spend £3.3 billion over the festive period on office treats
Office drink frequency increases 29% in the month of December in comparison to the rest of the year
Office gift buying tops £34 per person for white collar workers
Those who live in or closest to London spend the most on gifts for their workmates, while those who live in or closest to Newcastle spend the least
Tins of sweets, packets of biscuits, and post-work festive drinks, and other treats may be well-intended, but the average Brit ends up £169.74 worse off thanks to their office Christmas culture.
Research by Quidco.com has found that the average British white collar worker gets roped into spending £47.31 on pub visits for socials, buys £72.71 worth of sweets and biscuits, and spends £34.74 on gifts for their colleagues.
Males tend to be more likely to dig deep for colleagues, racking up a £243.13 bill over Christmas on job-related activities1, while females spend an average of £137.57 around Christmas on job-related activities.
The research surveyed 2,000 people up and down the UK, and found that those in or near London spent the most around Christmas on gifts for colleagues and workplace socials, while those near Newcastle parted with the least amount of money.
Chris Hutchings, CMO at Quidco, said, “Christmas is the official party season. A time for indulgence and letting off steam from the past year, so it’s not surprising spend increases a bit – but £3.3 billion is a huge amount of money – and a lot more than we expected.”
Gen X and Gen Z are the most frugal, clocking up bills of just £137.88 and £228.88 respectively, while Millennials are the most generous, splashing out £260.95 on work-related activities1.

Christmas Isn’t Always Ho Ho Ho | How To Support Someone Struggling This Christmas
www.notanotherbunchofflowers.com
Christmas is an incredibly difficult time for some. Images of the ‘perfect Christmas’ are everywhere – adverts, magazines and all over social media – and can be a painful reminder of the restrictions either physically or emotionally that this time of year brings for some.
This is something Anikka, founder of Not Another Bunch Of Flowers knows only too well, having been treated for cancer over the Christmas period.
‘Living with cancer is hard,’ says Anikka. ‘It’s relentless, exhausting and emotional and people forget that treatment drags on and on and takes its toll. And when you are unwell during the Christmas festivities these feelings can be amplified. The days are shorter and the nights longer, colder and darker. Suddenly everyone is out and about having fun, going shopping and having parties. Social media is flooded with images of everything you are missing out on and you can end up feeling even more isolated. There is also that unspeakable question, could this be my last Christmas?’
But knowing that you are loved and supported can really help.
Anikka’s cancer diagnosis inspired her to set up Not Another Bunch Of Flowers – a gift site that specialises in thoughtful gifts and cards for people going through difficult times.
Anikka has provided some tips to help you buy a suitable and meaningful gift for someone struggling this Christmas, whether it is simply a difficult time of year having lost someone dear to them, if they are suffering from a serious illness, are going through a nasty divorce or are simply under the weather
Flowers
Flowers are lovely, but tend to be the first thing that people think of when someone is sick, so the result can often be an overwhelming number. Why not send a thoughtful gift that will stand out from all of the flowers and last longer?
Practical gifts are greatly appreciated…
A care package full of useful items is always a hit!
…as are little treats
Treats to lift the spirits will also go down well. We may spend more time cozied up at home as we recover from surgery, our latest treatment session or are feeling sad or depressed, so comforting, cosy or pampering gifts are much appreciated. Think pretty lounge-wear, cosy hot water bottles, a natural bath oil, magazines, blankets, comfy bed socks and candles.
Avoid anything too clinical
Some gifts might appear to be really useful such as a thermometer, or a giant size tub of E45, but gifts that are too clinical only act to reaffirm that we are unwell. Something to take our minds off this and make us feel more ‘normal’ is much more appreciated.
Be aware of ingredients
Some cancer patients, for example, are advised to or opt to avoid certain ingredients. They may choose to cut sugar and/or dairy out of their diet, meaning edible treats such as cakes, chocolates and candy may go to waste. Similarly with pampering treats, many cancer patients prefer more natural toiletries that don’t contain nasties such as parabens and SLS. They may also find strong fragrances nauseating and there are some essential oils that are best avoided during treatment. So if you are selecting some body and bath treats, natural and organic is probably best.
It is probably safer to avoid comedy gifts
OK, if you’re very close to your friend, and you know for sure that they will find the gift funny, then go for it – anything to cheer us up is very welcome. However, if you’re not sure, I would avoid it. You don’t want to belittle their feelings with a gift that ends up upsetting them rather than making them laugh.
Be very careful with self-help books
There are thousands of self-help books out there and many offer conflicting advice and opinions, leading to feelings of confusion and fear. Others unfortunately do not have a happy ending. So, if you want to send your friend some helpful books, ensure the message is encouraging and positive and that they don’t scaremonger. Most people are likely to have researched their own information including alternative and holistic therapies so respect their decisions and try not to interfere or comment on them.
Speak from the heart
When choosing the words to accompany your gift, speak from heart. Try to avoid meaningless clichés and platitudes such as ‘you’ll be fine’ as it belittles our very real fears. We have some specific Christmas cards that recognise this year might be a struggle for some. Christmas may not be the most wonderful time of the year for your loved one, so make sure you acknowledge that.
Practical and emotional support is maybe the greatest gift of all
Living with a serious illness or depression is hard, it is relentless, exhausting and emotional. Giving a gift does not have to cost the earth, it could be a matter of giving your time. Anything from helping with the school run, walking the dog, offering a lift to hospital to simply offering a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on may be the greatest gift you could give someone this Christmas.

Contemporary Footwear
Give the ultimate style gift this season – a gift voucher for Harrys of London. Synonymous with innovative design, high quality manufacturing and modern style, Harrys of London is a quintessentially British contemporary brand. When the iconic brand was conceived in London in 2001 by Matthew Mellon, the purpose was to create ‘shoes that feel like sneakers’, and the business defined a new category.
The Harrys of London concept started with the elegant, sporty lines and unique sole of the popular DOWNING loafer, followed by the soft, unstructured Basel moccasin. These styles which we now refer to as ‘the iconics’ were instantly popular and became the benchmark for everything that followed. Today the brand continues to deliver the ultimate wearing experience for men who do not wish to sacrifice style for comfort and vice versa.

New this season, Harrys of London is introducing Harrys For Her, the new women’s shoe line.

The Flex Brush and Spray
The Ultimate Detangling Duo for Wet & Dry Hair
The ideal gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list is The Flex Brush™, the ultimate detangling brush. With an incredibly versatile design, The Flex Brush™ is great for aging hair, thin or fine hair, sensitive scalps, children’s hair, thick or coarse hair, men’s hair and hair extensions. The Flex Brush™ acts as a detangler that can be used to blow dry and style hair, and keeps hair healthy by decreasing damage with its gentle bristles and flexible spine.
To avoid damaging hair during daily brushing and styling, celebrity hair stylist Angelo David, owner Angelo David Salon in New York City, partnered with hair-tool veteran Jacob Guttman, founder and CEO of Creative Pro Hair tools, to create The Flex Brush™. Unlike most conventional hair brushes, the spine of The Flex Brush™ moves forward and back, and side to side. As you brush your hair, it will move with the curvature of your scalp. This helps it naturally detangle the hair and work with it, rather than against it. To compliment The Flex Brush™, they also developed Flex Spray–a revolutionary leave-in conditioner that increases the hair’s flexibility in order to decrease damage while styling and detangling.
The “Flex” duo detangles safely, massages the scalp and promotes healthy hair and hair growth. The brush’s versatility combined with its flex technology make it the most versatile brush on the market.
To order yours or to purchase it as a gift, visit www.theflexbrush.com
Angelo David Salon is located at 420 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10017
