EN for Business…again?
Yes, it arrived today by post. EN for Business is a glossy (very glossy!) magazine for ‘entrepreneurs’. I got one in February too and, to do my bit for these folks, I gave ‘em a link. (…mmm…wonder if they noticed? Doubt it.)
Anyway the mag is fine – if you like that sort of thing. Generally [...]
Past lesson?
There they stand – the worlds greatest monument to the human ego. They are quite brilliant none-the-less, and I have spent many, many hours reading about, pondering about and trying to figure out – just what they were for.
Tombs? Well, no, it really doesn’t look like it. When built they didn’t stand alone, as they [...]
Missed it!
Apparently, last night, upon p-s costly stage, the three ‘pretenders’ desperate to manage p-s debts, had a nice old chin-wag before their deciding populace.
Debate it cannot be as all three depend, for bread and water, on ever-rising levels of milking the said populace, with variations only in the detail.
I missed the event…was doing something not [...]
Ahhh! Years end…
Or nearly years end. And, at this time of year, as all entre’s, I’m deep into writing this years main piece of total friggin’ fiction: the years ‘accounts’! Oh! sheets of paper everywhere (No, it’s all done on a PC spreadsheet – and it’s factually spot on!) and a barrage of calculations for tax demands…gawd! [...]
Mmmm…deals on wheels?
Geely, the Chinese car-maker, are to buy Volvo apparently, from Fords. The price? $1,800,000,000 or £1,200,000,000. (Isn’t it strange how the difference between $ and £ is now almost gone!? – at one time ‘a dollar’ in GB meant five bob (five shillings) or 25 new pence nowadays – which meant four dollars to a [...]
Ahhh! Weekend!
Yeeesss! Saturday, time for a break from Cash Generation!
There have been some great numbers about this week – mainly, of course, because of the p-s budget – sadly all of the numbers have been NEGATIVES…i.e. debts!
They don’t have ‘a budget’ in the P-S – don’t need one; get it wrong there boyo and it’s [...]
Heee!
Sorry but, gotta laugh haven’t you? Just had a quick peep at beeb site and within minutes was falling off me chair!
Apparently 95, yes, that’s ninety-five, erm…Employment Relations Experts (yes, I typed that correctly!) have accused BA’s boss – Mr. Walsh – of ‘union-busting’. The ‘experts’ are from various universities ( I read) including Oxford.
Ahhhh! [...]
Budget?
Told yer!
As I said March 17th – no public-sector cut-backs. It never, NEVER happens.
It only grows…ever more costly.
But…bikes, seemingly, become ever more viable.
But re-fueling the pipe ever more costly
Oh! Heaven!
A great number in the Mail today! Eleven noughts!!! Oh! RAPTURE! Here it is:
£1,200,000,000,000 !!!??? If I put the ‘pence’ noughts on there would be thirteen noughts!!
And that is just our latest public sector pension commitment figure. It’s an estimate yes, but a very realistic one apparently.
Ah well. Back to work.

Radcliffe….
It was still there, last time I looked! And, it was quite busy down the Market…these pics taken around Christmas/January by local photographer.
The music is Radcliffe Morning Strings.
(Oooooh! Radcliffe Market on youtube! )
