A good bloke, and excellent worker, he cleaned up around town ;)

I remember Izal, and I still have a pulse.

We were given all sorts of promises that This launch was going to be the forerunner of a relaunch in UK, a major bank was investing millions and an insurance company the same, it was to be worth 20 UCAS points!

I was at the launch (on TV driving past) as the NI roads Minister was speaking. They promised us every help and we spent £650 on top of the course fees promoting it.

We got nothing. :evil:

Yet :roll:

That would be practically nothing then!

These days you get double that just for 1 'E' grade at A level...

Hey WOW guys!!! :shock: 9 years / 4 years!! So I can concur from your experiences it's a dead dodo then?! Thanks for that! Just as I thought and it's very naughty what they've done imo!! A big shame, it's an excellent product.

<Straight for the political kill> :shock: ----> Why are they holding back on it?

OR

What sort of kick up the backside does it need to encourage people to use it?

<secretly hoping those questions will spur someone 'in the know' to answer :wink: >


Hello again Nigel,

No, that's not me, I'm innocent Guv'nor, worked all day :D

Oh + re the affluence/effluence... I was being Freudian to be polite :wink:
