Dodgy DJ’s – consumers be warned

This DJ charges ~250Euro for a gig and ~350Euro for a wedding… Sounds like a real bargain. But then again how much would you pay for a DJ not to ruin your wedding?? Would you risk having a DJ like this for the sake of saving a few quid?

Be warned there are charachters like this in Ireland too.

Whats going on at ladbrokes?

Whats going on at ladbrokes? Looks like the stock market is having an early christmas sale cause in my opinion these shares are really cheap at the moment, based primarily on emotive selling. Company was doing really great, now its just doing great. Worth a 20% decline in value? Not a chance! The fundamentals seem fine dispite “Total gross win increased by 33% including High Rollers and but was up only up 7% excluding High Rollers”. “Early trading in November has seen the continuation of High Rollers’ Telephone activity and, encouragingly, reached into double-digit year-on-year growth in UK Retail gross win,” chief executive Christopher Bell said in a statement.

I dont think the emotive selling has bottomed out yet, but when it does there’s big profits to be made. One to watch i reckon.

United nations Do it yourself

United nations – Do it yourself is a remake / brief touch up of Neil Rumney’s – Awesome track from 2003 and one that still gets regular plays in my DJ sets. Its a definate 10/10 release, casue it brings a track thats worthy of main stream into main stream.

Costume Help – Is this bad taste??

So I’m In the process of rebranding, re-doing the website and ordering in the christmas stock for my costume business irelandcostumes.com. After having one of those dull chats with someone yesterday about christmas being too commercial – i decided I’d also look into non traditional Christmas costumes. So the question on my mind at the moment?? Is this costume below a bit of bad taste and likely to offend – or is it just hilariously funny??
