Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Wasn't there a research paper not so long ago that stated that "successful" managers\leaders shared significant character traits with psychopaths?

Isn't one a noun and the other a verb. I have never understood the difference between psychopaths and sociopaths

SE: no, they are completely different. Have a look at the side box for a simple explanation:

On the same note, people who use "schizophrenic" wrongly, sometimes very wrongly indeed (this happens a lot).

People, the majority of whom are from certain overseas countries, responding to articles from such 'Leaders' as Branson and Cameron on Linked-In in the hope that they'll then enter a full blown conversation with said 'Leader'

Or, they just ask for stuff.

Why do it ???

Also, I agree with Johnny B's earlier comment about Star Wars characters being used for adverts *

I understand that for many years they were strictly ringfenced by George Lucas, particularly Yoda, so that back stories etc could be strictly controlled. Now the little fella from the Dagobah system is pushing Vodafone? Sheesh.

* Please don't judge me. I also have other hobbies.

Linked-In ? Rather good for business networking.

Like Facebook, but no pictures of cats.
