Social Media Marketing

I am trying to crowd fund a project to raise funds for my work in Brazil and really need to get the crowd funding page out to as many people as possible. I have a page already set up t...

Bicester village
(Preview)
Sitting here whilst wife and daughter browse the shops. Place is heaving, and folks seem to be groaning with bags from all sorts of top end shops. Customers largely a mix of Chinese, middle east and Europeans of various nationalities. Crazy crazy place, almost obscene I think.

La Manga Club
(Preview)
Those of you who read my various scribes on here will no doubt remember that I have on occasions waxed lyrical about the facilities and the set up at the La Manga Club. The facilities remain unchanged but there has been a notable change in another way. James Rose, who had spent several years there and wa...

Do we learn as we get older
(Preview)
So here is the thing - I am 53 years old now and love my work, but I expected that by my age I would have seen everything and learnt not to be disappointed by how things dont always turn out the way you want! I went to see a client in November and after a couple of discussions talking them through various pro...

Labour party in a mess
(Preview)
Some people may say that the Tories are very divided, but the Labour party is in a right mess and has been for sometime. 7 resigned this morning. One has already lost the whip and is effectively independent. Expect more to resign over the next few weeks. My MP is Luciana Berger - I am not surprised she has r...

After a long and arduous year, last Friday was the day when I was due to fly home to Spain from the UK after my final business meeting of the year. It didn't go to plan - not the meeting, the flying home bit. I left my colleague's house at 2pm Friday and got the train to Gatwick. Checked in my luggage (overwe...

As there is a lot of speculation and interest on another thread it seems like the time has come say what I know - I hope no-one is or would be annoyed that I am sharing it but there was such a demand for information I feel I needed to. A couple of years ago (June 2016) after openly wondering where ISF was in a thr...

Scroll Free September
(Preview)
Hi All I am not normally one that jumps on bandwagon monthly initiatives, but this month I am going to try and give the scroll free September a bit of a go. The truth is, I have so much going on right now (all positive, I should add) that time is becoming an ever more precious commodity. So if you don't see me...

Very much a niche subject this! But it anyone is interested this is an excellent listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bh440w I have to admit a slight bias as a massive fan of Corinne Bailey Rae - to make my world complete I can also admit to a personal interest. As is discussed on the programme,...

I think the time has come for a review as to who should be be moderators. I had to delete a kitchen spam thread in the Andy section today which had been there for 17 hours. And it was one which had escaped the spam filter, so was there for everyone to see which isn't the greatest look for the forum. The only act...

Kitchen adverts

Can somebody with knowledge of the computer world explain to me how these kitchen adverts get in? Does a robot sign up for a fake profile and then spam us? Do they do this to other forums? I'm so intrigued
