PostsI took on a migrant worker today 12th October 2011 9:50 AM “I had 160 replies within 10 hours of placing the advert and not one UK citizen replied..” That's pretty impressive, and tragic! Out of nosy curiosity what kind of ad, newpaper, newsagent card in the window or online job board? QR Codes & QR Code Marketing 12th October 2011 9:03 AM Dice very good and gimicky if you are a designer wanting to stand out, but for us directory folk, I think a little cardboard rectangle will suffice for now  Until my bluetooth glasses with built in hologram projector is ready... HP to stop making computers! 12th October 2011 8:59 AM Bit of a slap in the face for the Lenovo execs though isn't it? If I was them, I'd put the price up on all Thinkpad Laptops they sell back to IBM  Or maybe the IBM workforce are all going to start using iPads? Interesting though, personally, haven't had a PC in the house now for over 2 years, although still have a home server, just for old times sake and we've just got 1 trusty old Compaq PC covered in dust sat in the corner of the office.Everything else now is laptops and tablets, so maybe IBM and HP are right? “I must admit I've stayed anonymous whenever I've won on the lottery.... ....nobody's found out yet....” I knew it!!! Who is that masked man But the question is, are they happy? Gits... bahh humbug.. Online business tools 11th October 2011 3:45 PM hmm, I wouldn't hold your breath, destined for the recycle bin..... Should rape suspects be named before the trial? 11th October 2011 2:16 PM Afraid it the 24 hour news media frenzy culture we live in. Justice, ensuring the right person is convicted comes second to headlines and selling papers. Destroying peoples lives who later turn out to be innocent is a byproduct. It is a scary world, no smoke without fire syndrome, a media accusation now carries as much weight as an official court of law. Could argue the sentence carried out by media trial is worse, a life in hiding, reputation in tatters etc. Take Amanda Knox, she has been cleared of murdering Meredith Kercher, but reckon she will now lead a normal life? Half the planet is still convinced she's guilty. Courts may get it wrong from time to time, but a trial by telly must be terrifying... Are Small Business surviving the financial crisis? 11th October 2011 10:46 AM The UK economy deteriorated in the third quarter and is showing signs of stagnation, according to the British Chambers of Commerce. The BCC says cashflow remains a real concern for many of the 6,700 businesses it surveyed. Its director general, John Longworth, said recession could be avoided, but only through making "tough choices". BBC News - UK economy deteriorating, says BCC Hmmm, good news keeps coming... Cashflow does seem to be a key area, as Tomsk said, people are taking much tighter control of cashflow. Business Start up Funding 10th October 2011 5:11 PM Hmmm, as young Kevin asked the question 18 months ago, I doubt he's still looking for finance from either experian, wysteria, hysteria or anyone inbetween  Shall close this thread to stop future bumping Apprentice Stella gets the boot from Lord Sugar! 10th October 2011 3:00 PM Ok, maybe not cut and thrusting business news, and apologies to overseas members, but just seen this. Plucky Stella, last years apprentice winner has been given the boot Interesting article from the Mirror, if it's true, then does kind of confirm what we already knew, it's just a TV game show Lord Sugar tells Apprentice winner Stella English 'you're fired'! - mirror.co.uk HP to stop making computers! 10th October 2011 9:45 AM Interesting question. HP seem to be all over the shop, they've just got rid of the CEO, Leo Apotheker after less than a year in the hotseat! New CEO Meg Whitman has stated HP will announce their plans at the end of October. |
