And that’s why one should never go on the internet after a night in the pub and think you’re funny.
Apologies

Haway man Adam. Maybe they’re using the Milton Model rather than the Meta Model. I’ve just written a 1 million word assignment on that and, like. I really know what I’m talking about. Isn’t it?
And as for your legs, I’ve just watched – for about 20 seconds before my unconscious said “whoa, just press a key, quick,” – an internet gentleman’s documentary about people from a country called Tranny, I think it was, and they would be OK on that.

In reply to Angela.

You are quite right Angela… That old favourite washing powder advertisement “Nothing works better than Daz” Ahem, if nothing works better, I’ll use nothing then…

I guess if you are paying per word or by line as you do in some advertisements, then you might want to conserve words, but I’d pay the extra to convey a better message… Wooo-ooh, aren’t I the extravagant one?

In reply to Gareth Jones. Thanks Gareth, did you notice how well shaven they are too? Those thick tufts of gingery hair that are usually there went for a burton especially for this photo shoot. I am delighted you are being Mr Positive, I think it usits you and your general demeanour anyway.

I totally agree with you, and find I am surrounded by people who use langauge in negative ways and then wonder why they are ill, miserable etc.

However, that said, I think there are practical reasons for people who market themselves in short punchy messages, especially in the media. For example “Hypnosis for smoking” takes less column inches than “Hypnosis can help you be a non-smoker”.

Brings me back to my old advertising favourite “Nothing works faster than …”
Ok, I’ll take nothing then 🙂

Just loved this post 🙂 You cannot only use hypnosis to give you all sorts of ailments, traditional pills and potions work too, even in German, like pills for headache.

Didn’t realise you had such shapely legs Adam 😉

I am getting a reputation at work as “mr positive” for saying things in a way that achieves a change or something, rather than having a moan. Anyone would think the whole basis of NLP is on this and your article.
