    After that I've chosen to conserve cash in order to invest it into SKA, smart choice if you ask me.
    Fair point, shame you couldn't have got here sooner.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      I got in 1996 but was student initially, apparently it was possible to get mortgage whilst on work permit but I did not really want to stay in Wolverhampton and sharing house was much cheaper anyway.

      I thought I'd buy in 2000 when startup I was working on would do IPO but boo.com crashed one month before it

            I've strategically chosen to save money in order to invest it into something better than a house that can be bought later after imminent house price crash

                Are you still flogging majestic SEO thing? I have had a URL for about 3 years and it still only shows up with like 2 links.

                Pretty poor considering I bought 1000 backlinks on PR 4 sites nearly 2 years ago and about 80% are still there, that is trurly terrible performance.

                We did not thinhk it was possible that you could write anything worse than the search engine but...
