chrisp65 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Tony, Yes, should've gone to Baku, but just like the Kiev visit the team visited an orphanage. Unlike the Kiev visit, the orphanage was after the game - a lesson learnt when the team went to the Ukrainian orphanage before the game and it just mentally destroyed a few of the players. Took a mass of clothes and pens and pencils and toys on those trips. Players left everything there except the clothes they were stood up in. Saw the photos when they came back, just horrific. Another fascinating fact: First time Dynamo Kiev came and played in Barry they flew their own water supply and food in too! They had no idea what it was like and didn't want to run the risk of it being some backward third world shit hole... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Now, I don't particularly care what happens in the Eurovision Song Contest. It's cringeworthy bollocks at the best of times and I do my best to avoid seeing a second of it every year. But... I hear the next one will include Australia. WTF? If I recall we had a great night discussing the totty on show and which ones would "get it" right here on VT one year I'm sure Rob had a thing for a couple of those old Russian ladies the other year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Eurovision is one of my TV highlights. I love that shit. Also car engines, ladies boobs and erm football. Apropos of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2015 Working in finance, sometimes. Just done some work that has come out EXACTLY right. The response I got was "people will think we've made that up. Adjust it so it's slightly out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2015 People that re-open shops/businesses that are exactly the same as the previous one that failed there. There's a barbers near my parents. It must have closed down and been re-opened by someone new a dozen times in the last 10 years. But it's always a new barber that opens it. It clearly doesn't work to open a barber shop there. Stop it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Whoooosh! Edit, in fairness to Stevo, he did say it's opened as the same thing a dozen times, so I guess you could say what you said Limpid, was correct if it had only happened once Edited February 13, 2015 by lapal_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly doesn't work to open a barber shop there. Stop it! Someone else has already paid to fit the unit as a barbers so therefore start up costs are significantly less. Are you sure you work in finance? Obviously. But low start up costs isn't a guarantee a business will succeed. It's failed as a barbers. Numerous times. So the advantage of lower start up costs clearly doesn't counteract the disadvantage of a poor location and lack of a USP to attract customers. So unless you do something significantly different then it's obviously not going to work. It's never different. it's always a bog standard barber shop. And it never lasts more than about 6 months before it's closed down again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 hmmm four different people over 6 years have failed to make this location a paying venture as a barber shop on the other hand, it does have three wash basins in a row and a big mirror I'll take it! coincidentally, we've got just such a unit in the local shopping precinct just down from us, it's a different twist on the funky dangerous hair salon theme every 9 months or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
