    Office space

    Do any of you lads have business premises? Do you feel it gives you a more corporate / bigger business look than the average sole trader who works from home. I have office / storage space and a small retail unit... At the moment it's all bills, but early days so I'm not worried yet. Cheers Ste

    Philae' Rosetta mission is a hoax!

    Does anyone else think that it's a bit far fetched to believe a probe launched 10 years ago, with possibly even older technology can be shot through space 300 million miles, then somehow 'landed and operated' on a gravity free rock hurtling through space? This is the Western Front Willy...
