Corporate lawyers are busy too.....and corporate litigation, atm. That will only contunue as people bicker over the crumbs left on collapse of businesses I expect.
The mergers & acquisitions boys might be feeling the pinch, though....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

N'uhuh, not where DH works. He's in a finance seat but has been doing mainly M and A becuase they are run off their feet, and that's one of his areas of previous experience....not always good news for commerce, but even the bad news and cut price buyouts etc need representation.:o
ETa: I do feel lucky though, that DH is trainee with previous experience. DHs firm is vibrant and expanding, but DH is neither a raw trainee, nor a specialist in any sector. His post TC contract is confirmed, he will be qualified in 3 juristictions and if anything unforeseen does happen he will be really employable. Thank goodness.0 -
I read dominos were doing well, people staying in instead of going out ( not withstanding you can make your own pizza pretty easily from scratch for about 50p)
The company I work for is doing pretty well, expanding our contracts daily, Im certainly much busier than I was 2 months ago, we do security work for properties.
I find it quite strange that they're doing so well. People must have more money than sense!
I am a pizza-lover and consider myself to be fairly well-off, but even I draw the line at paying a tenner for a normal size pizza when the local pizza shop will do one of the same size and comparable taste and quality for £4.50
.
Sorry, but I won't buy from them (or Pizza Hut) on principle due to the fact they're making about 2000% profit on every pizza when they could still make a very comfortable profit flogging them at a fiver just like everyone else does.

I just dropped in on another forum section (shop dont drop) and asked whether they thought about the impact of cheap clothes on third world workers.
I've never been to those parts of this forum until today - I'm left feeling beumsed that whole armies of people seem to have little concept of sustainability or ethical living. I suspect I am in the minoirty.0 -

In my town all the 'Mums gone to Iceland' over weight types eat in Pizza Hut, whilst the more health / body conscious 'holiday in Tuscany' types go for Pizza Express.

There's a much better similar phrase in Spanish or Portuguese which goes along the lines of "If you spit at God (Heaven) it will only fall back in your face".My sentiment exactly but I wonder if we are[strike] pi[/strike] weeing into the wind.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
