Lane Hoggers

Posted on: Saturday, June 30th, 2007 in: What The F!

 
For a man that spends most of my life on the motorway, i hate lane hoggers. If you don’t know what i mean let me explain. You are in the fast lane, when its clear you pull over to either the middle lane or slow lane, but there is always somebody who is just plodding […]

Fopp Flops

Posted on: Saturday, June 30th, 2007 in: News

 
I thought i would try a go at writing a headline for this blog … stick to my day job i think. But i was horrified to learn this morning that Fopp had closed all of its 105 shops. Fopp has blamed this on the slump in CD sales which is due to online downloads and […]

eBay! I love it, i buy, i sell and i price check on here before purchasing anything. I have dabbled in a bit of business on here before but it never really took off, i like doing business face to face and missed this aspect, but for others, they are truly making a killing on […]

Oh dear Peter

Posted on: Friday, June 29th, 2007 in: TV

 
Mr Jone’s Tycoon on ITV has been ripped apart by ITV due to appalling viewing figures. The business-based reality show - fronted and produced by Peter Jones - debuted last week to 2 million viewers but lost 100,000 on its latest outing last night. The figures are significantly down on ITV1’s year-to-date slot average of […]

UK under water

Posted on: Friday, June 29th, 2007 in: What The F!

 
I cannot believe how much the UK has flooded this week. More than 3,000 properties in the UK have been flooded, it is estimated and there is more rain on its way the weekend.
In other developments:
More than 350 people have been evacuated from their homes in north Doncaster after the River Don burst its banks, […]

I was at a wedding about 3 months ago and at the reception on every table was a disposable camera. After loads of ale all the blokes were getting carried away taking pictures with this disposable camera, until the 40 shots were taken without any film as it had ran out and we kept winding […]

I love these cards…

Posted on: Thursday, June 28th, 2007 in: What The F!

 
For a man i do put a lot of effort when purchasing a card for somebody. Especially if i am buying a card for a male friend. In my social group we all have become to love one type of card and you must have seen them … the 1970’s family photos with stupid captions […]

Mobiles for the older generation

Posted on: Thursday, June 28th, 2007 in: One to watch

 
I have come across this company before having a working interest in the mobile industry, but JitterBug has designed simple mobile solutions and a call service for the older generation - by making the phones simple and easy to use they could be easily operated by an older and maybe vulnerable person.
Founded by Arlene Harris, […]

This post is about a good friend of mine, Steve Wells. Steve is an amazing guy and a true entrepreneur. After having three failed businesses (that’s nothing, ive got 5 under my belt!) he jumped right back to it and has finally made it.
Steve had a recruitment firm that didn’t do well at all, in […]

Using the ‘net’ to ‘get’

Posted on: Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 in: The Internet

 
You may have heard about Jonathan Haselden last year when he hit the headlines about his new way to get his music career launched - by selling lines from his song to advertisers.
I have been following his website this year and it seems since May there has been no update. He has managed to sell […]
