No Job? No Help!

Hmm, recent news from this Emerald Isle – the staffs of Woolies (recently closed) have received a sum of money from the States of Jersey (our government) to cover the Notice and Redundancy payments that were being withheld by the administrators.
This has gotten me thinking with regards to a couple of points that you (good [...]

Wot’s Wob Watching at the moment?

Not literally – that would be silly as I would surely not be concentrating on the typing but on the show – or the other way round. Either way the two are, by and large, mutually exclusive.

Hi All. Remeber Me?

Erm,
Hi.
It’s been a while since I posted anything more substantial than Tweets to this blog. I stick to my theory that, the longer it has been since your last post, the harder it is to get started again. Of course it doesn’t help when, as you will read, some of the events to be discussed [...]
