Blue Skies?
As a little respite (again?) from money with noughts – here’s a superb pic from lakelandcam. There’s a link to the site just below.
Apparently, according to beeb news – site, at the recent labour party conference in Wales (??) the Welsh first minister (?) said,
“We need to enlarge the Private Sector in Wales…” and, “…the [...]
Record.
Just a little respite from all this talk of money and figures with umpteen noughts…
iTunes report that the 10,000,000,000 th tune downloaded from their site was: Guess Things Happen This Way by Johnny Cash.
On the latest Johnny Cash album he sings a really cool, For The Good Times – amongst other good stuff.
New thinking due?
Mmmm…the Mail tells of the 2,000 plus uni lecturers that (suddenly?) earn more than £100,000 per (school? year), plus of course the dear old pension.
Hey, don’t get me wrong. I’m all for good wages….but some of these lecturers MUST teach economics………
………which, in a way, might explain things. I suppose.
But George…
Lloyds were down £6.3 billion.
At the beeb the shadow chancellor says that bankers pay ‘is way out of kilter’ with everyone elses’.
Aw, it must be tough watching all those bankers take home millions while only getting a few grand ones-self! Then again George, it could be YOUR pay that’s out of kilter….but it’s [...]
Don’t bite the hand…
In this day and age it must be really comforting to know that your business – well, your ‘employer’, simply cannot go out of business. Whatever happens. Come rain, come shine, there is a bottomless pot of erm, well not exactly gold, they got rid of that cheap years ago – but certainly cash, to [...]
Advance?
Apparently the councils have kept council-tax rises down a bit – under inflation – (which could be anything at the moment), so that’s encouraging.
But what has always bugged me is this: If I do a job for someone I get paid when the job is done and the ‘customer’ is happy with the job – [...]
Mmmm…taxing.
I read in some Daily rag that the government – ever strapped – are to implement a 50p tax to raise funds that will improve Broadband.
My Broadband is fine – plenty fast enough for these old and slow fingers to type a few words and upload the odd pic. So what’s the deal?
Well, it doesn’t [...]
Frosty…again…
Yes, a frosty Monday yet again and things being quietish I took a trip to Lakeland to see the sights.
Stunning stuff as usual, but I kind of like this one this morning…it seems to remind me of something….can’t put my finger on it though…
Anyway, thanks, as ever, to lakelandcam for another week of brill Lake [...]
January ails!
Yep, the pundits have realised what traders have known for weeks – January was a retail nightmare – even the government had to borrow this January; something not done for ten years or more!
£4.3billion was it?
That should keep ‘em going for a week or two………..
(Never mind, election soon – I pity the poor [...]
enforbusiness.com?
This very glossy magazine arrived today by post…erm, that’s ‘unsolicited’ in my book – it’s called enforbusiness and it’s all about entrepreneurs – whatever that or they might be.
Mmm…Julie Meyer…that name seems to ring a bell somewhere…
Anyway, it’s a nice, colourfull Ad Mag – surprising what you can do with a good DTP program these [...]
