Why Bother Having Expert Advisors?
A report in today’s Guardian concerning the free availability of anti-virals to treat the symptoms of swine ‘flu.

Last day of the holiday – First day of the future.
This year for the first time in many I have done the very minimal amount of business work whilst staying in our home in Ireland.

At last they are starting to see things clearly. From “The Southern Star” previously theContinue reading “Tesco ignore maverick TD Ned’s ultimatum!”

When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
