You did well to become one of Amex Brighton’s 100 vice presidents :bowdown: .

Do you have minimum hourly rate requirements and do you (still) find studying/passing exams pretty easy? I’m thinking of the AAT professional bookkeeping qualification. Once you have a few exams under your belt and an understanding, you can start taking on work from clients, whilst studying...

Man Child is amazing.

:lolol: I thought you’d be organised.

Where I used to work, two senior ‘characters’ had chaotic desks, heaps of papers muddled together. When bollocked they claimed they knew where everything was. One was bloody awful at his job, his brain even in his 30’s was mush, clients were furious about the delays from him. One of my...

Ours is a very long garage, it could take two cars, I did tidy up the front half which serves as a gym for my son. I see you favour Stilh, I got some of their kit, recommended by woodsmen we know.

As long as it’s just ideas.

I know what you mean. But in the office days did folk work a quality solid 7 or 8 hour day, every day, with no personal stuff or hours spent nattering about stuff?

I wonder if staff who prefer to go in every day, who office politic and brown-nose, will gain a career advantage over time in manipulating bosses? We’ve all seen the type in our careers, they’re not good at their supposed core skill, but are held in high esteem because they stay late when the...
