“Eventually the green fields will be more wooded but there are no individual grave markers or anything else to indicate it's a burial place ...”

...until it's sold to a property developer and then becomes an estate of matchboxes sold as executive houses with 6 feet of back garden separating them

But if you did get a musical coffin, at least you'd have a chance to annoy the new neighbours living on top of you

Hi Anita, don't worry, there's plenty of help at hand

If you want to search for particular subjects or topics, and easier way is just use the search bar called "Forum Search", which is in the brown bar at the top of the page.

But if you have any problems, just shout.
When not to outsource 17th January 2013 11:08 AM
lol love it

See his average day, did his colleagues not think he was odd, especially with the cat videos
“9.00 am - Get to work, surf Reddit, watch cat videos
11.30 am - Lunch
1.00 pm - eBay
2.00 pm or so - Facebook and LinkedIn
4.30 pm - Send end-of-day email update to management
5.00 pm - Go home”

...heads off to double check work from UK based developer....
“But then how would you know the minced beef you're using is actually beef? ”

Don't start!! I'll confess to assuming my (non value) lean beef mince was 100% cow, but maybe it is time to start going to the butchers!
At least it's generated plenty of humour

“@brendanwalshy tweeted:
“3. How long do you think stores like Blockbuster can exist.”

Well in answer to your question from April 2012, it looks like they limped along until Jan 2013

Such a shame, looking at my earlier comments
“Personally I think it's a dated dying model..I think it's only a matter of time before it's reborn online only, as a streaming and online service, as it still has a powerful brand. Guess time will tell.”

So time ran out. With a forward looking management team, using their established and recognisable brand, they could have dominated the online and film on demand space instead of sticking to their traditional bricks and mortar rental model.

Sadly that's a 2013 prediction that has already come true (although fairly obvious)
“Predictions For 2013

Maybe the final death dive of the UK arm of Blockbuster? No idea how it is still trading and competing with the likes of netflix etc...”

Well in answer to the original question of Pinterest - whose using it and what do you think? it would seem quite a lot of people are using it!
“Pinterest saw a 1,047% increase in unique PC visitors, and is aiming to surpass LinkedIn this year. The social site that show the next highest growth was Google+ that saw an 80% increase in traditional web users. Pinterest
I think if you are about to market your business online and part of that marketing is via a website, then having a mobile version now is a must. Otherwise you will throw away between 20-30% of potential enquires/leads/sales.

If you already have a website, and it's not mobile friendly, then I guess it potential cost of a mobile solution versus potential gain?

I wonder now whether web designers now automatically include a mobile solution when quoting for a clients website?
“You can buy horse meat over the counter in London, never tried it myself.”

Had a horse burger avec frites in France years ago, was lovely

But I'd be a bit miffed if my Tescos finest Aberdeen Angus burgers was actually part Shergar
“aldi and lidl also implicated in ireland - though not sure if here in the UK though”

Iceland stores are affected as well in the UK. But if that's your budget, then a value burger is a value burger, and if its cheap and safe for humans, then best not to think about what it's actually made of!!

Or get a packet of mince, chop an onion, bit of mustard, chilli or anything you want, few herbs and add an egg if mixture too dry and make your own Really easy, doesn't take long, and you can blag the role of being a cooking genius lol. Make a job lot and chuck them in the freezer
