And just how right I was on the house prices.

Let's face it - I am just great

Yes the world and his dog knew it was a bubble. Difference is some people had the nous to make money out of it.
BTW you weren't so good at calling the dot com bubble were you?
You actually worked for a dot com till it went bust
Some people made money out of that too, all the while knowing it was a bubble.

What a terrible speculator you are. You should be ashamed of yourself ... I hope you invested the ill begotten gains wisely. Say a squirrel refuge, something like that?

I don't think people are fair on ex-Polys and small unis. Sure I was depressed to learn they were bottom of the table, however if you look at how those tables are made you will see that they are heavily biased towards research - basically fixed to allow Oxford/Cambridge always win. The only thing I did not like in Wolves is that they've got too many foreigners in classes - should be a limit of 20% max, maybe 10% - otherwise it is hard to even learn English.

You are right; I am sorry.

It was a cheap quip that I could not resist.

Technically it did not go bust (it was bought by old economy firm), but yes - in my eyes it went bust due to critical mistakes by the management - I was not involved in decision making but I learnt from their mistakes and my company certainly won't make them.

I actually did pretty advanced stuff at the time - browsing behavior targeting and other was not in wild use at the time, even now only large companies do that - almost 10 years later.

Better make cheap remarks about how my MBA app was rejected by Stanford and Harvard back in 1999 - and I got pretty good GMAT score with perfect AWA to boot

Lucky escape - I was managed by a Harvard MBA graduate once, he was a fkwit and a complete knob - kind of lost my respect for it at that point (Plus Dubya has one, I mean FFS!)

Actually I was - before that big job I had tintop job in a .COM that begun to smell like rotten fish and I bailed out - it was very smart move.

Yeah, I will put their rejection letters in the toilet one day.

So why aren't you running this mega-corp of yours instead of posting on here, like a successful entrepreneur would?
Face it atW, you're a dreamer.
Get a proper job and start living.
You've given SKA a good 4 year go - well done - now it's time to accept defeat and cut your losses.

And why are you posting here?

The difference is that I might actually get to run my own mega-corp, where as you will always remain permie loser, nothing personal - just telling the truth.
