Times indeed are tough. I've been out today "networking" a.k.a. being charming, interested and interesting ( angel1) at a product launch and lunch. A sample of the product, a small, hand held, battery operated device (nooo, it's not what you're thinking! ::) ) had been placed on each of the tables. Towards the end of the presentation I was
fiddling with inspecting the battery cover when it suddenly popped like a champagne cork and flew about six feet into the air and landed two tables away! redface:
"Ah, that's how it comes off!" I exclaimed surrender: . That is also how to stop a presentation mid stride :thumbsup:
Many business cards exchanged in the hope of a bit of trade shrugs:

Let's hope Miss D caught it :thumbsup:

went for training last night, to learn how to give a successful 10 minute presentation, they were so patronising I nearly told them where to stick it Finger: I had last laugh, had to fill in a form at the end grading the tutors .....I gave them all zero happy001 happy001 that'll learn 'em lol:

We've been to a few 'training courses' most were conducted by 20 yr olds and we usually ended upo giving them information. censored: It is infuriating. Thursday will see us networking at a launch of yet another grant funded project. noooo:
We have just put a proposal to the council to reclaim some allotments which were contaminated in a flood several years ago. If we are successful we will be able to get regeneration grants but it wont pay us. Still it will keep us out of mischief I suppose.
