Business partners

[Khan]

Hey anyone looking for a fully qualified electrician as a business partner to set up a new limited company?

 

[Geordie Spark]

don't say things like that to geordie. he'll be trying to walk on water next. LOL. :77:

I can't do that trick anymore since I got these nail holes in me feet.

 

[Geordie Spark]

You must be 1 in a million

I agree .. I was.

It only ended because he was 5 years older than me and retired.

I sort of staggered on without him for about a year and then sold it.

Geordie, I'll throw you a marble. Bet you cant catch it lol.

"Always look on the bright side of life." You've got another way of doing "self pleasure", and you are ambidextrous! Just cant do it whilst trying to catch a marble pmsl.

A previous business partner of mine and I had our final falling out whilst in the swimming pool at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai whilst on a job (well, thankfully the job had been the day before and was finished). I believe my last spoken words to him were "F**k off and lose my phone number". We let our respective secretaries correspond with each other via email after that point!

You had e-mail???

We had a telephone and a fax machine and a real cutting edge pc which ran at 75 mhz. The other business folk on our estate used to come into our office to gaze in awe at it as it was then the fastest thing around.

Had business email since 1992! And was one of the first wave of people on hotmail once it left the U.S. (same as Facebook, too). Also an original subscriber of myspace before it just became a glorified battle of the bands. In fact, MySpace was an invaluable way to find an evenings worth of two-legged entertainment whilst in the States on tour

It was some sort of mythical thing that we heard rumours about and our 75mhz PC was like greased lightning. We used it for accounting - as well as the manual books - Word Processing for quotes etc and I even managed to run a CAD package and a home-made estimating programme on it

Never go into to Partnership with anyone

Not everything can be done alone, ask my other half.

A common misconception. The Internet has been around since the mid 70's in the form of various global dial-in services, boards like this and so on..these services are still alive today for the most part as FTP, Newsgroups etc. The World Wide Web brought us the concept of web pages and some better protocols, the rest is the history we know. Internal email systems long pre-date the Web but were often restricted due to the expense of bandwidth and data storage. In the late 80's I was working for an organisation which had basic MS Mail internal mail, one year later I was working for an international that had an 'internal' MS Mail system that spanned the globe, and the year after that we created an external portal via AOL, had ditched MS Mail and were using Lotus Notes on OS/2 as 'groupware' communications - years ahead of what we'd now regard as MS Exchange. I even arranged a blind date with a girl from one of the other offices via email...how's that for internet dating ahead of the crowd?!
