I like ajarn.com. It is a fun place. I was going to get out my list of great grievances, grandiose gripes, grand groans, grave grumbles and my granduer of grating grim grisly grime, but I won't, because I can't stop growing with the gruesome gritty grubby and grotesque grin.

You liked that didn't you?
I'm sure if they took it via one of the CIA satellites (sp?) like they have in Alias and that it would have been okay mate!

don't expect anthing salacious chaps!
seems it could have equally had a home in the business section as that seemed to be the main thrust of it; phil's eye for a business opportunity. in that sense i agree with bluffer's used car-salesman line.
i hope this article does good things for you phil!

All things considered the article was pretty good.
Dunno bought the tie Phil. Also, how old are you mate, didnt you just turn 40? If so you have aged very well!

Isn't it remuneration (I always thought it was renumeraton until I was told it wasn't!).

I thought that Matt did a very good job with the article. I suppose the opening paragraph comes across as a bit dramatic but it's always difficult to pack a punch and get readers interest from an opening paragraph. But I do know that two of my colleagues at work laughed out loud at the 'the thought of meeting Phil is a little unnerving' line

with respect, why should it be unnerving? i didn't understand. admittedly, i've never met you but why would i be unnerved?
the smell?
the dripping fangs?
the playing footsie thing?

You know what? That's exactly what I kept saying to them when they told me I'd got it wrong, but they were right and you and I are wrong (you can check a Brit dictionary but it will say the same):
http://dictionary.reference.com/sear...emuneration%20
re¡mu¡ner¡a¡tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-myn-rshn)
n.
The act of remunerating.
Something, such as a payment, that remunerates.
remuneration
n 1: something that remunerates; "wages were paid by check"; "he wasted his pay on drink"; "they saved a quarter of all their earnings" [syn: wage, pay, earnings, salary] 2: the act of paying for goods or services or to recompense for losses; "adequate remuneration for his work"
