Bookstall in ED Warehouse Closing (Lounged)

[Jah Lush]

Sorry to hear about the stall not working out and I haven't even got around to having a poke around the Warehouse yet. Best of luck to you in the furture though Ultraconsistency. Hope it all works out well for you.

Ooh. "Partisan underbelly" is the best compliment I've had in a decade.

[????]

Oh Seany, Seany, Seany....when (if) I do come to an EDF drinks I will by you a big foamy pint and give you a friendly, hetro mankiss on the cheek....as I like you, I really do. ...have I wound you up that much? My comments about censorship were aimed at Moos(and we sorted our argument, by agreeing to differ, amicably) and then Pongo who was acrtually rude to me (go and read it again) not you fella, you're a touch paranoid sometimes methinks. My failure to respond to your private male was/is my inability to master the interwebby thing and nothing personal...honest. XXX Quids

* i appear to have come over all faint *

in fact (with all due credit to dulwich mum )

* swoon *

when i get my hands on a proper keyboard i might reply to that one properly. But for now i live in hope you join brendan and me on wed night inside 72

Now...recover..... and go and disagree with me on the Doctor's thread

[karter]

Let me save seanmac from plummuting to the ground. Got you mate, not sure about other threads though better get them checked. Quids, take it easy pal

[SeanMacGabhann]

anyway - now that I'm over the shock do I start with the positives or the negatives?

Cheers for the response quids - I had an idea during yesterday's dialogue with others that you weren't quite the wilting violet some of your defenders had you down as. Now that the curtain has slipped tho, don't over-compensate by being over-aggressive in other threads y'hear? ;-)

Glad you and Moos were happy with the resolution to your discussion - I'm less glad that unsubstantiated claims about censorship, bullying and Stepford-esque attitudes remain flung and unaddressed (not just you btw)

[citizenED]

Offers smelling salts to SeanMac, offers cheerful smile to Quids.

Wonders whether Asset was right about him being a dour Scot.

[Debi]

Getting back to the original point - sorry to hear you're off, Ultraconsultancy, and wish you luck for the future.

Um - I believe you have copies of my books (delivered to you pre-Xmas) tho don't know if you sold any. Can you let me know how you want to go about returning them? Please PM me to let me know ...

[KidKruger]

It's not rational to assume all small businesses will succeed (they don't, by a vast majority).

This is a problem with so many aspirational small business owners/investors.

What is rational is to make judgements informed by various conditions affecting the operating environment.

The judgement may not support the aspiration (i.e. success) and if it does not, some serious decisions have to be made.

A judgement predicting a failure is not a negative judgement, though the failure itself can be regarded as negative (assuming the business was started for profit reasons).

Also the person making the judgement is not necessarily BEING negative.

I haven't read ????'s other stuff or all the comments on here but his basic point was fair.

Oooh I bought a couple - assuming Debi is not a really common first name amongst East Dulwich writers - one of each in fact.

Oh Dear am i too late, ultra are you still trading, if so or not do you have The northern lights trilogy, if so can i buy them off you.

Sorry about your book stall, its a lovely place and you are always so warm and welcoming. Good luck

[Debi]

DC - oh bless! Assuming we're talking about Nirvana Bites and Trading Tatiana ... Hope you enjoyed them and really pleased you had access to them via UC's stall.

And yes, I am Debi Alper. As you can see, I'm crap at self-promotion! (One of the reasons I don't include a link to my website and blog on this forum.)

[Keef]

Seen this really late as I haven't even looked at the main area of the forum for ages. Anyway, UC, Best of luck to you, if you ever open that guitar shop, let me know when you get that rare SG in for me! ;-)

RE: Quids (a really annoying name for ????), I agree with Asset, I don't think he's overly negative, I find his posts funny. I also don't think he was being nasty on this thread, he made it clear that his predictions are regrettable, but he was being realistic.
