Pandora.com

OK, so this was introduced to me a week or so back.

The site is called www.pandora.com and it provides you with music in a similar genre to a known artist that you decide upon.

For instance if I type in Massive Attack, Pandora will just play music similar to Massive Attack. Don't know how, but its great

Trademark Protection on Google

So has anybody else tried to protect their trade marks on Google?

I have had real difficulties. Anybody care to share their experiences? I am sure Google won't remove this post on my forum - or will they?

Tottenham Tickets

OK, so I mentioned it before.

Bought my tickets ages ago for the Torino game. Did they arrive? Of course not. Did they ever get posted? I doubt it.

To top it off, after order and buying online to save queues I was stuck in the boiling sun for over an hour and a hlaf yesterday - for a friendly. The club obviously messed up. Rather than offer the people in the queue free or at cost bottled water, we had to put up with miserable police and stewards and terrible organisation.

How I love how football clubs treat their revenue streams (us FANS)

Salespeople

So tell me - after tellng sales people you are not interested in what they are selling - do they fill the need to go and try to push their wares onto somebody else in your company.

I found out that is exactly what happenned. I told a chap called Johan, from a company called TXT4 that I wasn't interested in continuing discussions and didn't want to buy his companies services.

It wasn't a personal thing aimed at him or his company, the offering simply isn't relevant to us. So rather than take no for an answer he decides to target my boss.

Luckily my boss has the nouse and confidence in my knowledge to direct they enquiry to me.

I return to send Johan an e-mail asking him why he decided to do that after I directly said no. I also told him to not contact us again.

What odds somebody else within Nationwide will be contacted?

Harry Potter

Why did people stand outside various book shops/stores to wait for the new Harry Potter book to come out?

I mean come on! I went to Sainsburys the day after to get some stuff for breakfast, there it was, stacks of the things and not at ridiculously high prices either.

Supermarkets are villains for destroying communities and sucking the life out of people. However, it stops the need for anybody to do stupid things like forming a queue for an average book

Tottenham

OK, so Spurs are my club.

I have bought shirts, memberships, tickets and everything. So why oh why has it taken the club over two weeks to get some tickets to me (for a firendly) and this years membership pack?

The club I lvoe, great on the pitch, but the organisation and admin?!?!
