Well I'm staggered.

 

Every chair in that dining room is different and I thought the place was supposed to be posh.

 

Looks like somewhere my parents might have furnished back in the 80's. But then maybe they are the sort of punters PL is trying to attract...

I cant believe this thread has digressed to discussions about chair decor. The weather must be 'orrible and no ones cruisin.

 

Your imagination must be very lacking, I can believe much stranger things than that before breakfast

And now you're turning it into a meta-discussion. A discussion about the contents of the discussion.

And I guess that's the start of a metametadiscussion; a discussion about the discussion about the contents of the discussion.

Maybe we should have stuck to the furniture (anyone remember Carry on Camping?)

Titanic sank on the 12th April.

Titanic left Southampton on the 10th April..Four days into the sail she hit the iceberg..14th April 1912

 

That is unless Wiki is getting things crossed.

 

Amazing thing is 100 years later they identified the unknown toddler as described last night..Choked me up that piece of the story!

According to the man himself his good points are project management, operations management, business planning, program management, contract negotiations, customer service, new business development, management, business strategy (taken from his LinkedIn page). ROFLMAO

 

ETA - iirc he studied drama at college, he's definitely a good actor
