Renaud Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I think that George W has stumbled upon the fact that whilst the French invented the word (and maybe concept) of entrepreneur - their fonctionaires and politicians do their best to strange them at birth.

Tresco Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Talk about lowering the tone of a thread. What's 'nice' about it for a start?At least many/most of the others raised a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Dingle Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Sorry Tresco, the quote was for the second part of the heading "that will ring true with many" as I had just been perusing the thread where folk were saying that they took no interest in politics etc in the country that they live in at the moment, if you did not know from who the quote came would it make a difference? Anyway I am not here for an argument, it was just a harmless post in a thread, but then I will bow to you as you are a senior poster here. My apologies.best regardsZak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even as a straight 'management' dictum it's way off the mark. LOL you always seem like such a positive little soss, too.No need to 'bow', Zak.

Tresco Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm perfectly entitled to express my opinion on any post Bugbear. You do look alike. Why am I on 'thin ice' to point that out? Why make something heavy out of it?I'm not one of those people who slings 'broad grin' smileys in to disguise negative intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
