OopsThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Hmm... possibly not feasible from a Premier Inn.
Also, the "Getting Started" has five steps
I've spent ages thinking about how to get my possibly-forthcoming Facebook app to the point where it has three steps - the third step being "That's it!" or, in Monty Python vernacular, "There is no step three."
Research that I can't be bothered to find the links to at this time of night shows that people (that is, normal people, not geeks like us) are very unlikely to go beyond three steps in a "Getting Started" process. However, they go mad for one where they are told up front that there are only three steps.
And even better is when they are told there are three steps, but - although they are informed in advance of this fact - the third step doesn't exist
It's strange but true: when explicitly told in advance that step three doesn't exist, they like it even more than a one-step process, and are more likely to "convert" - or "sign up", or maybe "register", as I prefer to phrase it, given that I hate marketeers' vernacular (which makes it rather unfortunate that I'm currently contracting at a marketing agency).
(I wrote some code the other day to analyse the number of conversions from a particular marketing campaign. I was sorely tempted to coin property names such as "suckers" or "spamees", but as a contractor one has to go with the flow of the business, so I settled on "conversions". Looking back, "converts" would have been better. Ho hum )Last edited by NickFitz; 6 March 2009, 01:32.Comment
