Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

[Magnus McGinty]

Anyway, it’s massively OT and I’m not bothered tbh. It’s just a bit reluctant landlord.

Imagine all the holidays you aren’t selling whilst you’re dusting the skirting boards!

I don’t sell holidays.

My company currently has three employees, me, Frau Bahn and Ken. Ken has been on furlough since last April, I have been topping his wages up to 100% and paying the NI all the way through out of my own pocket. He also has been working and will continue to do so when furlough ends for Waitrose. If anyone has been exploited here it is you for paying your taxes to fund Ken’s alcohism.

Are you the exclusive owner of Strasse AG or does Frau Bahn hold shares? With Q Enterprises whilst I am the entire workforce and management structure, it does have two shareholders, one of whom is also myself wearing yet another hat and Mrs Q who does not wear any hats but does receive dividends when they are paid.

Could you get Ken to sell holidays?

for tax reasons????

Flights then. Which I connect to holidays. Given that’s the only time I’d use one.

Absolutely why would anyone do it otherwise?

 

[two sheds]

HA !!! That should be going to pay Ken's wages.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

No, he’s furloughed and my business doesn’t sell holidays. Do try to keep up grandad.

That's a reason for liking someone?

Sure, why not?

I work in private companies, it is my role to make enough to pay the bills and survive to fight another year. I saw Bill Gates and Microsoft, his baby, seemingly flying ahead making his products almost a requirement in companies, including mine, even when there are FOC alternatives available (Office). He seemed a thoughtful and intelligent individual. Despite this, if he was embroiled in Epstein's abuses he will deserve all he gets.

It is more to do with Gates's style. I don't for example have any feeling for Steve Balmer who made MS more money than Gates, nor for Satya Nadella MS's latest CEO.

Why would it be? Why does somebody achieving profit become likeable just because they achieved profit? At best that’s just a neutral thing irrelevant to how nice they are. (Even leaving side the fact that more realistically, it implies negative things about their character.)

Gates was successful despite significant competition, it is that that I like.

Frau Bahn is a shareholding director. She is also a member of the Institute of Bookkeepers and has her own bookkeeping company.

People’s fly for reasons other than holidays.

That's the problem with you younguns: no ambition, no eye for a new market ...

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Well yeah, but I didn’t realise you were in a different branch of the industry given holiday flights are probably the most common.

I did state exactly what I do on this thread today…

selling something to rich people that they can buy easy as pish on the internet and marking it up. e.g. airplane tickets...

Rich people don’t take holidays? Arguably anyone who can afford plane travel is rich. Somewhat ambiguous for me to make another conclusion.

Only rich people take flights?

On a global scale perhaps what you state isn’t nonsense, but on a European level it is demonstrable bollocks.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Plus I don’t understand your ticket tout business model. If they could simply buy the ticket cheaper elsewhere for cheaper, why don’t they?

Depends what you consider to be ‘rich’.

If you could get Apache Office for free why, would you pay for Microsoft Office? Millions do!

They like Ken

I got a deal for Office through work. Lots of other software I’d have preferred but coincidentally a mate has just sent me a spreadsheet so prob the first time ever I’ve needed excel outside of work.

I suspect the trick is to find customers who are spending someone else's money.

I've long since given up despairing at the proliferation of pointless middlemen who make more money than I ever will. TBH I wish I didn't have a conscience, then I too could get a slice of the contracting a subcontractor to contract a subcontractor to get an agent to hire a consultant to get someone to wipe the arse of someone who can't be arsed to do it themselves business.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Silly me, I thought this thread was about a non-sweaty nonce.

Because they want me to be wealthy.

Where is you ‘rich’ line?

No they don’t, well most don’t.

You have to be on the wind up. Your naiveté is absolutely staggering.

You never met Welty before?

I have, this is somewhat more compared to usual.
