@ Jim and Midlands-Red: I don’t think that will be a problem – the market will like it: It is well known that in times of depression people turn to chocolate

@ Julie: don’t lose belief in your powers so easily!

raju: it’s confirmed – my elbow is devoid of power. MLS All-Stars will be playing West Ham, not my beloved Liverpool, on July 24th.

@raju: Jim: can you perchance keep the above product range in a prominent place on this blog. alot of time and expensive product development and market research has gone into this and LFC should be able to have ready access to this.

@Julie: Jim, I would echo raju’s request for safe-keeping of this lucrative product range – the Toronto boardroom alone is bustling with high-priced marketers, product developers and sleight-of-hand artists, and all that talent has to be good for something.

We just need to find the finance to launch it all…

@raju: “Jim is a bit quiet these days: I wonder if he is missing those verbal bashings from messrs. Anfielder et al? ”

“Missing” is one word you could use…

Julie: good to know you are enjoying what you are doing!! : )

I think in respect of the product range this is good to start off with. Although I don’t think Hick’s Coconut cigars and Moores’s Con Bons will sell very well.

p.s. trust me to ask where Jim is and he posts at around the same time.

Very odd day I am having today at work!

Jim: if I was tempted to add a four-letter word that started with S, ended with T, and had an HI in the middle, I’d offer up Red Bull for that non-player’s use.

raju: burnout, for me, had almost depression-like symptons at work – falling asleep at my desk, inertia and indifference. For all that the financial uncertainty of going freelance and working from home initially did my head in, I’m way way happier than I was two years ago. Just my personal experience, eh.

Okay, on a happier note, to recap our stocklist towards the billion-pound mark thus far:

Gerrard’s Chocolate Oranges
Monster’s Crazy Potato Rings
Skrtel’s Turtles
Babel’s Kababels
Kuyt’s Dutch Treats
Torres’s Roses
Dagger’s mints
Rafa’s Rollos
Parry-eh? Sparkling Water
Hobbs’s Nobbs
DIC almond dates
Hick’s coconut cigars
Gillett’s dark chocolate dollars
Moores’ Con Bons
Alonso’s Garbanzos
Fabio’s Flake
Jamie’s Jellies

Julie, my apologies about the burgue fiasco. You are right, you did suggect savoury treats. The replacement is much better.

regarding burnout: I think I am on my way to burnout as well in my not-so-well chosen profession.

Jim is a bit quiet these days: I wonder if he is missing those verbal bashings from messrs. Anfielder et al?
