I know half of you won't give a toss, but I start a new job next month.
I'm getting out of pikeymarkets for good, but staying in retail.
I've managed to land something a bit more intellectual - manager for WH Smiths.
On 'garden leave' for a month now :-)
Nice 1 :)
thought it was gonna be boring and involve alfa's :-P
nice one! ah while you're there can you get me a discount on jap performance ? :)
Heh. Amazing how many people want to know if I can get them a discount now.
I thought Performance BMW was more your thing now?
"Cyclists Weekly"

Lol, you evil bastard.

Nice one. Been thinking about a direction change for while now. IT and internet isn't what it used to be. Might try something with a little more integrity and honesty, like advertising or car sales.
Cheap mags for the newsgroup? ;-)

hey i might be going BMW but the heart will always be with jap crap with turbo's bolted on :)
don't have a bike so i was thinking more 'ramblers weekly' :)
I can't see what the fuss is over Jazz magazines.
For your newsgroup posts ? :)
Estate agents, accountancy or law would also apply.
Naah - you're gonna end up with a car who's turbo engine says "Mercedes-Benz" on the cover.
Yes, compared to where I work, they would be the paragon of morality.
What sensitive information do you have then, that could compromise the supermarket against WH Smith?
It's a long story and more to do with me not taking them to an Employment Tribunal than anything else.
Yeah and your managerial duty involves making sure the store is profitable and discounts don't a profit make.
Good time to be joining, just before Xmas...
It's the way I wanted it.
Otherwise I'd be kicking my heels doing a job I don't want to do over Xmas.
