  1. That's basically like asking if I would prefer a job I like with a small house and regular car or a **** job with a mansion and a flash motor...? I'm not vain but the latter please <laugh>

    Hmmmm not really. It depends on many thing like beliefs and such I suppose.

    If blatter is the corrupt out for himself greedy money grubbing scumbag he is living the high life until he dies then some would say he will get his in hell. Now on the other hand you work for charity and do you thing then maybe some would say you'll get blown by conduct Crawford for eternity....

    I don't know.....

    **** job v job you like ain't quite the same. It's more like are you a **** or a saint and when you look back would you regret being a ****

  3. Fair enough; I'd like to think I'd be a saint but I don't think I would. I wouldn't be a blatant horrible **** either mind.

    The old corporate gift thing used to be massive in the 70's and 80's. My old man was the head buyer for a large manufacturer and come Christmas our house became like a grotto with parcels arriving from all over the place. From bottles of scotch to oil paintings, he got sent all sorts.

    These days, it doesn't really exist in the mainstream anymore, as everyone is paranoid over being accused of either taking or giving bribes.

    As GLaxo found out yesterday. I think they were fined £300m by the Chinese and their buyer for the country was jailed for offering sweeteners to doctors to buy Glaxo products. The Pharmaceutical industry and the arms industry are the last bastions of full on corruption.

    I have a friend who is a doctor who went to the launch of a new drug as a guest of the manufacturer (every practice managing GP in the country was invited in batches). The drug was developed in Cambridge....were was the launch held...yes Switzerland for a week in the skiing season

    Guess what, 6 watches later Greg Dyke is suddenly in favour of ending the culture of gift giving

    It never occured to him until now he wasn't at gunpoint to accept the gifts or to make the slightest inquiry about their value
