Re: Happy (Belated) 15th Birthday to Metropol

15 years, who would have thought eh? Seeing the old logo and purple did make me laugh. “Online, all the time”... my attempt at shoehorning in some relevance to the 247 in the domain name. The reality being I couldn’t find a suitable name that wasn’t already registered... why didn’t I think of purple...

Funny you say that...

Last time I was in, one of the natives was lobbing cocktail sausages in through the automatic doors in an attempt to encourage a stray dog to run in.

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Is there a Morrisons anywhere in the country where they still have the revolutionary swivelling banana hanging cage in use ? Morrisons Stevenston still does. Never once seen a member of staff behind the cage mind you. They appear to be anticipating a lorry load of bruised bananas, judging by the nu...

Seems like we've come full circle as they took away the Argos 'Superstore' brand in the last rebrand!

Re: Conficker worm

The company I work for has been crippled by the virus over the past 4 weeks. Everyone in I.T. seems to be running around after the virus so if you want anything else done your up a gum tree. There is now a 'usb stick' amnesty where no one is to use them outwith the company network. :roll:

Re: Domains

Whilst I have a decent knowledge of domain names themselves, I'm not too up to speed on costing and whether different companies provide value for money. I need either a .co.uk or .com (I have a short list of what is available already!) domain, with email addresses included, and at a reasonable pric...

Industrial Action & Unions

Have you ever been on strike? In your opinion does it work? Does anyone else find that many union "shop stewards" are bitter and twisted for having not progressed in their own career therefore get involved in union work as a two fingered gesture to higher management. I myself have never be...

Re: Going back to university... maybe

Are you happy doing what you're doing at the moment? Are you currently working in a field in which you'd be happy to keep working, or do you see it as something more short term? If it's the latter, then you need to consider what you're alternatives are, and whether a university degree is something ...

Going back to university... maybe

I've been contemplating going back to university... After I finished first year of the course (and passing by some luck) a number of push and pull factors led me to decide uni wasnt for me, and with that I left.. technically on a year out at first but then I received a letter through 6 months ago sa...
