See Ross, there you go again.  Just like me.  I wear a hat though!

Aaah So!  When you are a big earner you don't have to explain what you mean, you let someone else do it for you.

Hi Morph

My posting was maybe a little confusing and no, I am not a big earner.

I'm just a bit worried this is going off topic so it may get locked.

Is was about Dave running a course on a Saturday which I think is a good idea.

Cheers

God ,you 2 its like listening to Hinge and Bracket       (Ross and Morph)

 

[rosskesava]

I've heard of Hinge and Bracket but I don't know who they are.

I don't have a TV.

I wasn't referring to you as a big earner Ross, I was replying to Dave's post about Andy's post about David.  It's simple really.

Anyway I can't make it on that date.  I have a previous engagement that cannot be cancelled, I'm told.  Bit of a treck for me, Bristol.  I'm in the forgotten East here, long journey.  Normally though, Yes I would pay £50 for a refresher course on gaining commercial work though, if I could read a preview of the agenda.
But if you are right Dave(StIvel) I don't mean this arrogantly, but someone who is 50k PA doesn't mean much.  What really qualifies a person to say they can conduct a successful training course on the subject in question and teach us something we don't already know?  Sell it to me.

How many months did it take David to get to 50K

[D woods]

Hi David
you have not replied how many months did it take you to pull in £50000
of work per year

[Moderator David@stives]

Months
Probably the product of 10 years + of building a round

[D woods]

If it is ten years thats not so good.

Its the quality that counts and its trying to take into consideration travelling time.
Would you want to start a course at 9.00am on a Saturday morning?
