Was surprised to hear from Marky through the site, as soon as I had registered with a supplier Mark's message came through...spooky !

[Sancho]

I don't but know people who do. Kind of Facebook for grown-ups. I spent ages wondering why you would call something 'linky din'

Spot on Sancho ! full of 'Marketing experts', financial people masquerading as accountants with a sprinkling of friendlies like Mark, I will have to learn to behave and not post anything too controversial !

Nothing derogatory intended, its just that I have to broker Business support from a team of thirty nine , made up of Marketing Specialists, Financial wizards, Sales Specialists Business plan writers and the list goes on... I just want to escape ,not have my life ruled by Linkydin

I'm a member. Don't use it very often but it good if you are looking for a job or want an introduction to another company.

I won't say what I do either then!

Oh don't worry about offending. That's why i come on here too. I do my job because i can, it's not exactly a life calling. Most of them seem to live to work instead of the other way round!

Life is way too short not to live it a little.

Oh indeed! Blessed be the J.D. My preference is usually with the Morgan's Spiced rum though.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm.

I too commute to a land dealing with bean counters. I have my CIS tax returns to finish off tomorrow. Oh joy, of joys!!

[stormforce]

i'm linked in my own little world so does that count

[Vultch]

Well I joined after an invite...been a member for a year or so but I have not really found it useful.
Not sure if its meant to be like a cyber golf club (jobs for the boys etc, which I despise).
