Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

hey sticky - of course you don't offend me - see above in response to fred

we can't turn back the clock, and i'll be as succinct as i can be

i think a great deal of blame lies on the cultural perception that going to any old uni and getting some very silly degree is the holy grail and will guarantee a material utopia (a special for fred!) ..... in fact, it is probably only say 60/70% percentage of those students who will truly gain benefit from having gone to uni ..... the others, and some "true" graduates too, would have gained far more had there been proper work-placement schemes .... however, that requires a far greater involvement by local businesses at the secondary schools etc etc

i wonder how many schools actively encourage and foster that sort of thing, especially in the state sector

Uni is a gift to gov of whatever flavour.

it's keeps a fair % of em off the unemployment figs.

heaven forbid that that thought should ever have crossed my mind!

Found your web site...

StickySNR please dont judge others by your own standards.

Its dangerous to give out to much info on public B/boards i thought you would have known that.

On the other issue not hypocritical at all, my life isnt focused on greed like yours, I beleive like a lot of others knowledge is wealth and if knowledge provides me with wealth so be it thats a bi product.

What I chose to spend it on is up to me.

Dont forget I havent been given or had wealth handed down to me like your good self.

Reminds me of something or other.

Damn my tablets.

Perhaps, why somebody was dropped for Bing Crosby or was that desperation.

.

you don't actually know my background or much else about me, but merely surmise :-)

and yes, i thoroughly agree about the danger of public dissemination of private stuff
i'm not as careful (paranoid) as perhaps i should be, but certainly refuse to go near the likes of twitter and facebook

by the way, how do you define greed and why would your definition apply to me? .... or is that supposition once more, as i suspect?

Cynic,

Twitter and facebook.

Admit, you don't know which buttons to press, in order to do so.

Turn the record of its getting boring and your getting silly again now Cyners.

Cyners why do you fear Twitter?????????????????????????? (facebook havent a clue not a member)

Youd do well to read this Cyners and realise your wel out of date......

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/01/how-economic-growth-has-become-anti-life

because as i understand it, once you have posted something on those mediums (media?) you cannot delete it
also, to become a member of either, i'm unsure what other info you have to give out to start with
on the other hand, we all happily give out full cc details and other stuff including passport etc whenever we book a flight or similar
frankly, if someone is really that desperate to dig into your private life and worse, i'm sure it's not really that difficult

First of all wrong on you cant delete it. Just placed a tweet up and Im given this option below.........

Reply Delete Favorite More Expand


As you will see I can delete it immediatly or whenever I want.

Not only that say I had some nutcase reply to me immediatly what can I do......

Im given this option

Block @jimmhk
Report @jimmhk for spam


I tell you now Sticky SNR its far safer than b/board sites like this one advfn etc etc.

You cant immediatly come back with an alias and have any effect aswel.

You should listen to your business associates and join up.

You can use a clapped out Pc you dont need a mod con phone.

Details to be given just like any B/board, nothing more.

o/topic, crikey its volatile out there today.

SGP up and down faster than Jordans knickers.

thanks for that .... perhaps i shall dip a toe into twitter as one of my clients would certainly like me to sign up

i go nowhere near advfn
20 minutes on there 3/4 years ago was more than enough for me
makes this board look polite :-)

===========

close shave for jordan i take it :-)

LOL, I honestly think you would enjoy Twitter you get analyst reports much faster than on the web in general and also some top knobs posting from all the funds and the business news world...... whatever your interested in.

Youd probably be able to build your business up aswel, i know I have.

How many "followers" do you have gf?

Not having a dig, just interested.

I don't use twitter etc.

Max 775 personal ones and on a shared community board 9002.

Well worh joining up, I know i was sceptical at the beginning because of various rumours but in about 18 month of use ive had i think just one spat and I immediatly removed her ie blocked her and she cant trace me again.

It helped me source building materials for my business and I now get them far cheaper than previously.

Also helped me to advertise for more customers.

Cant do without it now.

Brilliant for the stock market.
