Its never more convenient though is it?

Swore I never would again, but last family holiday it was the only option. Was ok, except for the seats as uncomfortable as church pews and the 4 hour delay on the return leg....

I am unsure.



Oh wait, Scooter is the manic, and I am the depressive alter ego?

You guys are funny....

There is a whole spectrum of fixed income products from low to high risk - anything over 7 or 8% is higher risk.

You could buy a mix of funds specializing in corporate debt, real estate, financials. Even during 2008 these funds might have traded at a discount, but almost all still kept...

My thoughts are...

If a contract asks for applicants to already hold SC to be considered, there must be enough people around who currently hold it that its possibly not worth your time trying to jump the queue.

In his opinion, often his CV and application did better if he just let AI do the whole...

Corned beef and baked beans? Don't forget the toilet paper, when armagedon hits TP will be nowhere to be found.

This means what?

That consultancies, contractors or perm recruitment are all currently in the dumps?

High end engineers are all in the USA, low-end in India or being replaced by AI, and nothing much doing in Europe?

Sorry to hear about your brother.

The LTD has to submit accounts to companies house every year, so the amount of missing information may be less than you think. Under small company rules the accounts only have to consist of basically a balance sheet. So the last submitted accounts plus...
