    Personally, I think AtW is quite a good engineer, I'd employ him tomorrow, he'd be a bastard to manage but hey, I'm a bastard manager!
    so is that Atw? the pic with the squirrel? or am I a gullible twat?

      Bugger all as far as I can see.

      Any patents?
      Didn't we have this very same conversation at least two or three years ago, where I seem to recall using the phrase "Big Boy's Toy"?

      So AtW, what has advanced since then? What progress have you made in the business model?
      Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here

        Zer good one.

        Come on bogey name a number - would £10 mln be considered a business success for an immigrant who came to this country?

          a) nice good big house (no morgage obviously)
          b) a couple of decent cars
          c) enough money in the bank for interest income to allow living (a bit tough now with low interest rates).

          All in all £1 mln seems like a fairly successful figure, though I personally think that any small business owner selling their business for £250-500k has achieved success.

          You did not answer my simple question but I am not suprised actually.
          Because your question is meaningless.

          Ok. If you are valued at £1m then obviously that is 'successful' to YOU.

          If, say, a high-street chain of cosmetic shops were valued at only £1m that would probably be disastrous.

          You cannot apply the same considerations to all businesses.

          I doubt anybody would value your business and £1m or anything like it - especially when they see how you carry on in this forum.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            I asked your view on what you would consider level of success for me so that you will no longer say I am bad at economics, investment, programming etc.

            Fine, so £1 mln then would be the success threshold that exceeds your expectations? Or £2 mln? Or £5 mln?

              I think you should seriously consider what would people say when they see how you carry on in this forum. This is not a question of difference of opinions, your behavior is designed to insult (rather than humour) and frankly not worthy of a gentleman.

              Would you post link to your company website, your real name and photo here?

                What do you mean?

                Not taking crap from idiots like you?

                No of course I wouldn't because I have a REAL business.

                You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                  Seriously, get some help from a trained professional.

                  You've completely lost your grip on reality.

                    Are you prepared to post your real name, photo and get your coworkers/employers to check on the stuff you post on here, do you have balls to do that?
