    eBay - Breading ground for con artists and scammers!!

    Completely agree here! I spend a lot of time searching on ebay for things i like/need under auctions. Very rarely do i get anything from the BiN section. There was a poll/survey on this a few months back on here. Personally I have never had a problem with these scammers. I did however have...

    what do you think to this?

    Personally, I don't think it would work.... I mean people are sometimes too lazy these days to click on their mouse and read an email they receive off someone they don't know. What makes you think they're actually going to pick your cd, put it in their computer, wait for it to load then read the...

    I could probably let this one slip... But human beings that wee on the toilet seat and floors in public toilets..now that gets my blood boiling!!:mad: Is it really that hard to aim? I find it the height of rudeness!

    What makes you mad as hell

    People that moan about what colour or size of font a thread is typed in instead of actually giving constructive critisism and answering the actual question in hand. Defies the whole purpose of this forum :rolleyes:

    Will we soon be forced into squat toilets?

    Total and utter absolute nonsense! I bet you that most asians prefer the traditional british toilet anyway.... Cultural awareness my a***, are you telling me that the minority that do prefer squatting have one of these bowls in their houses? Next thing you know they'll be demanding them in the...

    Apprentice Series 6 - Bets on who will win!

    I really hope that stuart baggs goes next week. The boy is so deluded it's beyond belief! how can someone think so much of the themselves is beyond me. Stella for being the quieter one, put him in his place a few times. Theres a fine line between confidence and arrogance, but i think the boy's...

    fallen over in super market.

    This is one of the funniest threads i have ever read on this forum, I'm glad most people on here have a sense of humour (the 'childish' remarks in particular amused me) and its also nice to see that some haven't fallen for this horrible "claim culture" they keep ramming down our throats. Where...

    Best business bank account?

    Haha, great stuff guys! HSBC does seem to be the top dog according to this little survey...Just my luck that the the only branch available in Aberdeen is a fair bit away from where the actual shop is which isnt that handy in this one case if you're planning on doing a daily cash drop off! Anyone...

    Best business bank account?

    This question has probably been asked before, but I'm just wondering your opinion on who you think provides the best business account service. I already have a b/account with RBS and have found them to be ok. Is there anyone in particular you would recommend, maybe great service, free banking...

    Why you should never take the Dragond Den seriously.!!

    Could not agree with sandiep more. I find it even more entertaining how people on this forum are getting wound up about the lack of "seriousness" of this program. It is meant for the masses and does serve its purpose of entertainment. As for its validity...it has established a few businesses...

    Jacket potato shop use class A1 or A3?

    I beg to differ, you can start up a business for 20k-25k, run on a break even target (including salary and capital investment repayment) and start making profit within year 2 if attention is paid to things like location , staff training, good cutomer service, portion control etc... This still...
