84Overcome Obstacles
A few weeks ago I wrote a hub about Parkour and Free Running. If you've not heard of them, have a look. Afterwards I realised Parkour has a resonance even for those of us who don't run and jump around the city . . .

It’s now easier than ever to make ethical personal choices about how we live. From buying free range eggs, fair trade clothing and environmentally friendly detergent to buying a hybrid, low emission car. Our day to day choices factor in social and environmental issues. The same can also be true of investments. If you think socially responsible investments are fringe, low return investments, think again.

83Don's Guide to: Travelling on the London Underground
There are many, many confusing things about the tube: random tunnels whose sole purpose seems to be to confuse tourists, a fare structure that Albert Einstein would have difficulty making sense of, and stations that were designed by the most talented maze designers ever to have lived.
