Okay,  this weekend ,Grainne is leaving her twenties and entering her thirties and is facing it with much trepidation.. so please, post on our website your birthday wishes and any tips you may have on how to survive this milestone,… the rest of the team are either too old to remember that birthday (17 years ago in my case!) or too young to even begin to contemplate being sooo old!!

Happy Birthday Grainne from all of us.. xxxxx

Well I am happy, nay delighted, to announce the engagement of our Lovely Leona to Niall.. at 6am this morning the proposal was  declared, complete with beautiful ring… so we are now looking forward to yet another wedding in our office which I hope will be in Ireland as could do with a good shindig with pints of real Guinness! Congratulations to them both..xxxx

As a Manchester United Fan of many many years standing, I would just like to congratulate Manchester City on an epic win yesterday, it was a great match and a well earned Championship Title.. but remember it is only for 2012 and we will be back where we belong next season.. enjoy the silverware for the time that you have it!

We are delighted to announce that Grainne became engaged to her lovely boyfriend Simon on Valentine’s Day, he asked her to marry him in the most romantic way possible, hand delivering roses to her at the office and then dashing home to prepare a beautiful meal, decorating the house with paper hearts topping it all off with a spectacular ring!

We are all so happy for them both, she is a delightful lady ( and a fab recruitment consultant!) and he is a lovely young man, we all wish them so much love and happiness for their future together!

Watched an interesting interview on BBC News this morning, between a lady from Connexions responsible for youth employment and a professional headhunter.

The lady, sorry her name escapes me, tried to say that the youth of today are desperate to work, and the Headhunter coined Mr Tebbit’s phrase of  getting on one’s bike.

I have only one comment to make this week… Vote Gillian McKeith for all the Trials, has there ever been a more annoying woman on the planet?

So how about allowing Simon Cowell and a panel of judges to decide who should go to University? Is this not the future of society? Reality style interviews to decide who is worthwhile of Higher Education. The General Public could vote on which students they felt were suitable for University, and the Tax Payer would support and who were a waste of Tax Payers money? (more…)
