Well, I'm not suggesting you rush out and buy a clipboard but there is a more modern way to keep up with the multitude of information ... Read more

Having said that, it would seem nobody is lending money on a commercial basis if you believe the doom and gloom spread across most of the pink pages these days.

Anyone who has worked in the industry, and in particular the smaller and perhaps not so blue-chip end of the market will know; documentation can often be the undoing of ... Read more

I've had this great idea that I've been mulling over for the last few years to design and make sets of those cool retro flying ducks to hang on the kitchen wall like your grandparents used to have when you were a kid. But where do you sell them? On eBay? Create a Facebook page? Design a website for your product?
