Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

50's car vs modern car.

 

You are Ralph Nader and I claim my £5.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

Watched a programme about the development of car safety a good few years back. Absolute deathtraps back in the day.

Big corporations show themselves to be nothing but ****s time and again. Caring about nothing but their profit margins.

 

Only 4th??? I demand a recount!

Frankie Dettori reveals he is filing for bankruptcy in shock statement | Frankie Dettori | The Guardian

Frankie Skint. Poor bas'tard....I'll be organising a few buckets at the next City home game.

 

I'm sure his 'financial advisors' got their fees up front, 'kin sharks.

 

I expect that the House of Not 606 has heard of the little document which is circulating about the boat race between the NHS and a Japanese crew.
Both sides tried hard to do well, but the Japanese won by a mile.
The NHS was very discouraged and set up a consultancy.
The consultancy came to the conclusion that the Japanese had eight people rowing and one steering, whereas the NHS had eight people steering and one rowing.

The NHS appointed people to look at the problem and decided to reorganise the structure of the team so that there were three steering managers, three assistant steering managers and a director of steering services, and an incentive was offered to the rower to row harder.

When the NHS lost a second race, it laid off the rower for poor performance and sold the boat.
It gave the money it got from selling the boat to provide higher than average pay awards for the director of steering services...

 

Same as Bradley Wiggins situation, isn't it? Signed his image rights over, but had ownership of some of the companies that his image represented, so then got saddled with the debt when the businesses failed, whilst the financial advisors earned from 'leasing' his image rights back to the businesses... A no lose situation for them.. earned cash either way.
