Right, which poster itt is Stephen Burns off videogamer dot com. I'm starting to suspect he may be a goon.

I am basing this off the fact he follows several known goons on Twitter.

Maybe I'm completely confused about the concept of this new-fangled Skypamazoo, but isn't the point of an interview on Skype that you can do the interview from home rather than travelling?

theoretically. but mostly so you can do the interview without any trousers on.

john lewis are hilariously backwards when it comes to anything new

my little brother tried to liase with them when they partnered with carphone warehouse and they would not listen to anything, they basically hid the stand in an area of the store where there was zero footfall and refused to advertise anywhere that you could get a mobile. in the end carphone came to them with a big list of things they needed to do for them to sell anything at all and they got all daily mail about it and started going on about tradition and how thats not the way we do things

he recently spoke to the guy who is in charge of selling tablets and tech and he is apparently on ludicrous amounts of antidepressants because his job is to wrestle middle management into the 20th century, ie the last one

What are these magic techniques to get stuff moving off the shelves? When I go into a shop, I look at the the things for sale and then I either want to buy them or I don't, how complicated can it be?

Just got back from a star war. How does a major UK cinema chain in a major shopping centre not have any salted popcorn available for such a showing? Did they forget it was on?

Oh it's absolutely a rip (their Star Wars "combo" was £12.95 for a large drink and popcorn in branded containers lol). But seeing as I only go to the cinema about once every year or so these days I JUST WANTED SOME MOVIE POPCORN DAMMIT.

Also I hate to take this moment to break this to you/party boat/other locals but Kathy Secker died. Goodnight sweet princess of local TV.

footfall

eyeline

engagement

basically if they had put a sticker in the front window saying they now do mobiles and put the display within eyeline of perfume and menswear they would have aced it but instead they treated the whole exercise with disdain and put them out behind kitchenware

the art of getting people to buy stuff is actually p. interesting and all a bit derren brown really

was that what that was for? I got like halfway through the ad and frankly it was scaring the poo poo out of me on a primal level so I went for a pee and missed the film opening crawl. As a result I spent the first scene thinking Max Von Sydow was a relevant character instead of just wise old man (Max Von Sydow).

Movie was good, 8/10.

Any of those pampered cunts in here?

I'm just jealous as I'm going to bed in a bit so I can be up at 4 for work and instead of doing our Christmas piss-up tomorrow they want to do it after christmas??? What's the bloody point?
