Wasn't working this morning - apologies - guess the Echo was just having a bad day. I had a really good day. Started with a very rude text message and got worse. But they were all from Skates so it just made it funnier & funnier.

I once caught an off drive by Nick Holmes while fielding at mid-off in a Salisbury League cricket Match vs Winterslow. He was very unlucky I usually got out the way of anything hit hard. John Burridge is not as good at Karaoke as D_P. (Previously very many times posted FACT)

I care.... The GF's folks have a gaff near Krakow for me & the lads (about 20 of us) to camp at & locals to get tickets SHOULD England get through & get based down that way. We won't of course be going for the footie - just the beer

Is that the legendary Woolston Ferry in the foreground?

Woosh Of course you are correct, but somewhat missed the irony smiley in NickG's post by the tone of your opening sentence...

Another one. So Mitchell wouldn't do business with CSI and yet is trying to sell Pearce to them [12:48:00 PM] Mark Jackson: http://bournemouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=243588 If anyone ever finds that other link - the comments of the Bompey fans to doing any business with them... lol

Ah so there is all the proof you ever needed - The Echo appear to have deleted the page overnight PMSL OK secret googlers - go find a cached version of it to post in it's entirety for posterity!

There is one follow on piece of advice. You create a 2 page CV. You also create for your own purposes a few pages of actual notes on your CV expanding each of the basic points - so that when you are asked for an interview you get asked "what did you do at XYZ company" you have a short but interesting reply. What you mustn't do is ramble on with a 20 page CV when you get to interview. There are huge numbers of books and training courses and methodologies that HR people use. My old MNC trained every one of it's management in a process (and book) called Top Grading (BS Bingo we called it) Basically the manager doing the recruiting scores the personal attributes education & experience in some 20 categories and those form the criteria for selection. At the interview your job is to understand that they do not want "a nice chat" they are looking to see if you can do the job. So again, your CV should be checked and possibly tweaked to emphasise certain aspects before you send it to different prospective employers. If you are going for a Sales Export job, then it should NOT focus on all the great things you did as Salesman for Avon calling door to door. Likewise if it is for a retail job, perhaps not wise to use your 2 pages explaining how good you are in Business to Business selling. Do some research and KNOW what you are applying for. (e,g, Dear Mr Branson, I see that your airline is regarded as one of the world's best. I have 30 years experience of working on Submarines and I believe that you need somebody with my level of experience as you have vacancies for Airline Pilots. I have flown in an airplance twice..... Should be more Dear Mr Branson I have 30 years of experience in self enclosed hostile Pressue Sensitive environments and believe that my skills may be of assistance in your Space Tourism Engineering Department) Honestly, I've seen them (but not that extreme an example)

Mission Statement

Am I the only one on here who picks up the faint waft of decaying sexually abused marine life in all of this?

I mean, ONLY a match day thread regular could have possibly come up with the cunning plan to beat Al Q by attacking them with Cup Cakes. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/8553366/MI6-attacks-al-Qaeda-in-Operation-Cupcake.html Just a hint to whoever it was - think the Nuns would have horrified them a bit more

Now, I wonder if the fish fiddler that posted that really wants to know the answer? If it's in the Papers it must be true. Surely?

Yep that was it

Good mate is an HR VP for a multi-national. 2 pages. Very basic listing of your work and your achievements. Oh, and Spell Check it (he reckons a good 20% don't even bother to do that) It is designed to give them something to want to know more about, not to give your life history & names of your pets or the name of your Kindergarden teacher

Oh dear, does Eddie have money troubles again? Perhaps he just realised he screwed up again in the past month or so. Trying to push up the price of his players? Hmm

Is there any change planned for the number of hours a year that an Academy can coach kids in England? I can't find the article but did read this week that in Barca the kids get more than double the hours of coaching compared to English kids who then go back to their "other coaches" who tend to stand there and scream "GET RID OF IT" Think the Uk rule was 3,700 hours or something. It was put forward as a reason that the Sapnish midfield simply were so much more comfortable on the ball and with passing than an English player

Well thought it was funny and should refute young Benji's claims. Rallyboy. Your own fault, no fiver what to do? I positively totally utterly refute being ITK. It's just that I have an uncanny knack fro remembering funny things I read and then fnding them. But this one - I'm PMSL that nobody else has worked it out. Jeez the clues haven't been even slightly Cyrillic oops sorry cryptic Obviously Gemmel worked it out - let's not spoil his moment of glory

Still. I wonder how the few would react if anyone ever found out who could really be behind their bid? What could be the ONLY thing funnier from our side than them being taken over by more dodgy dealers? What could be the one to knock the Russkies right out of their stride and cause a panic attack of sudden communication and denials? The truth is out there, just need Mulder or Scully to find it

The Footballing Son of Gaddafi was calling up brokers attempting to find someone who would put him in touch with PCFC about 400 pages ago may even have had a post or two justifying that from the less enlightened few at the time. Absolutely no evidence in any of the CSI track record to show any link to the ME - Ice Hockey, Motor Sports, Basketball their record goes back a long way and always into Mother Russia

Mate got this done. He has enjoyed spending the spring months watching his Electricity meter going backwards. He reckons it is supposed to take 7 years to pay off but at the moment he has seen only credits on his Bill each month No idea on the technicalities I do know the rules on grants changed about 9 months ago so worth checking the very fine print

Oops I say chaps you may want to edit some of your posts..... (In the light of the Twitter Footballer issue) Police called in by Cowell http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/britains-got-talent/8554015/Britains-Got-Talent-fix-allegations-Simon-Cowell-contacts-police-over-Ronan-Parke-claims.html

Yawn, again. In simple words. They are not very confident at speaking English in meetings let alone in public. They know the moment they open their mouths we'll just ROFL again

39C here. HTH

Yes, but. We are talking about a Paradigm shift. It's time to think outside the box

this. Mack & Mero - respect. pfc & his buddies. Just f\/ck off. You really have no idea what is coming your way
