I have to turn in now Tighty due to early shift tomorrow.Brilliant updates as ever and good luck to all the remaining players.Great to think that one of them is going to dink over 200k.Also well done to Rob,Nick and Simon for having the gonads to guarantee the million.Respect to all concerned.

All IT projects follow 5 simple rules.
1) They cost a lot more than any original quotes.
2)They always take far longer than original estimates.
3) They never do everything that was required by the sponsor.
4) They require constant upgrades
5) They eat money.

These rules are the same for small start ups to the big projects such as the National Health Service.

Whatever the project,these rules apply.Never want to rain on anyone's parade or stifle creativity and endeavor but having been involved in a couple of start ups and seen how some projects develop did not want you to pour your money into a potential black hole.

Other obvious things to think about are usp of product,size of market,is it scaleable,can you make money etc etc etc.


Good Luck.

Great work again Tighty.It's only when you visit the venue do you realize what an awesome job you are doing.

 I will find you tomorrow or Friday. I am good for the cash (poker brag).

Well I am very new to this blogging game but as I  am on holiday and Tom has asked  about  movies I cannot resist.
Two very early classics have to be The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine followed by 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda.Both classics from the 1960 and 1957.Obviously I didnt see them when they came out but they are a must see.

The early seventies movies that I recall for various reasons where Straw Dogs,Clockwork Orange and The Excorcist and Jaws.
The 80s where about Apocalypse Now,The Godfather trilogy,Raging Bull,The Deer Hunter,Scar Face.In fact it was just De Niro and Al Pacino basically.
The 90s well it started with The Silence of the Lambs,Shindlers List,Pulp Fiction,Goodfellas and ended with Good Will Hunting and Saving Private Ryan.
Time then starts to accelerate and blur but favourites for different reasons include American Beauty,The Usual Suspects,Gladiator,
The English Patient,The Departed,Toy Story,The Lives of Others,Rain Man,Mrs Doubtfire
and most recently I like Drive.
Oh and  dont  forget  The Elephant Man.

so I dont really type but I hope someone  may find this  brings back some memories.

Can I take ten please Alex.Pay by cash at the club.Well done on the Oxfam juice.

Really enjoyed this comp.Well done to DTD and Blonde for great updates.Really looking forward to next Friday.Not had so much fun since Waddle's free kick against Sheff Utd in 1993.

I think they will get 230 runners tomorrow.Gulp,first post.

Forty players left from the 90 who started today, how many do you think we will get tomorrow?

I'm relying on Ian gascoigne to answer as he seems to be the only person still up on Blonde at the moment.
