does anyone go on there. i pop on now and then for a laugh at some of the stupid ideas. last month a student was going to spend the summer making a fortune cleaning, valating, powerwashing. and then because it was going to be so succesfull he was going to sell for a fortune in september, Grin anyway his plan consisted of delivery 2000 leaflets at the weekend and filling his diary for the coming week with one of jobs then reapeating the proccess again. he planned to employ someone from day one and have an imediate business ::)no building up of a client base. the others on the forum were all for it. but no matter how much i pointed out the flaws of his plan he just wouldnt listen.

the next one today was a school leaver starting at universty after the summer he is goining to set up a mobile car valating company with a dyson,steam cleaner and some sort of dry cleaning solution that doesnt involve water. when i pointed out he needed a van tank etc etc he was just adamant his system would work

guess what subject they were both doing at uni

its amazing what a series of the apprentice can do for some people,  I met a bloke who told me he was setting up his business selling soda streams ( those cheap gadgets that make fizzy drinks )  said he would be retired before he was 40  that was 2 years ago and recently heard he was working as pertrol pump attendent

I havent laughed so much since Steve Mclarren was England manager

the guys on the forum mentioned are all wanna be millionares, some decent though but it always amazing that nobody mentions to the new starts things like public liability,income tax, ni, fuel and the fact you have to price to counter the fact you will not work for 40hrs a week. the first guy was going to charge £6 an hour and from that he would employ, run a car, pay for stock, insurance, tax the list goes on, but the guys and gals of the forum are mostly in e commerce etc. and they encourage these new guys
