My new startup - http://www.greenscout.co.uk/

I have just published my new startup idea at

http://www.greenscout.co.uk

The concept of this site is simple - to scout and promote existing and new services and solution offerings that can benefit home users as well as businesses. My aim is to build up a fully featured site with the best companies offering a service that is green inspired or involves a green element such as energy reduction.

Examples are: Web Hosting, Car Insurance, Recycling firms, E-Billing etc

I feel there is a need to showcase these websites in one place as every day I read about a new venture involving...you guessed it 'Green'

Have a look and tell me what you think - its still in the early stages but I feel its got a solid foundation and content is still being updated.

Cheers

We have found an exciting new startup that may be of interest. 'Parkatmyhouse.com' - ParkatmyHouse.com confronts the reality of car use and promotes space-efficient parking by tapping into a readily available but unexploited resource.

The concept is simple - homeowners can rent out their empty driveways or garages to drivers requiring a parking space.

As you know well know its annoying driving round city centres for ages trying to find a parking space plus this concept has a green theme to it.

How To Fix The Economy

Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan :

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed

5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week there's your money back in duty / tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back there falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

If you think this would work, please send this to everyone you know

3 Minute Management Course

Hi all

Some lessons to be learned (some old but still good and some new to me)

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you £800 to drop that towel."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her £800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the £800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand.

But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologised "Sorry sister but the flesh

is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up,

you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity




Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure,why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up !




Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

BullS*** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there !





Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate... Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

(1) Not everyone who sh!ts on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh!t is your friend
(3) And when you're in deep sh!t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the 3-minute management course

Dog or Hen

Dave came home from the pub late one Friday evening stinking drunk, as he
often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He
gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.

When he awoke, he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed.

'Who the hell are you?', demanded Dave, 'and what are you doing in my bedroom?'

'The mysterious man answered, 'This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter!' .

'Dave was stunned. 'You mean I'm dead !!!

That can't be, I have so much to live for - and I haven't said goodbye to my family.

You've got to send me back straight away.'

St Peter replied, 'Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch.

We can only send you back as a dog or a hen.'

Dave was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house,

he asked to be sent back as a hen.

A flash of light later, he was covered in feathers and clucking around,

pecking the ground.

'This ain't so bad', he thought until he felt this strange feelingwelling up inside him.

The farmyard rooster strolled over and said,'So you're the new hen.

How are you enjoying your first day here?'

''It's not so bad', replies Dave, 'but I have this strange feeling inside,

like I'm about to explode.

''You're ovulating', explained the rooster. 'Don't tell me you've never laid an egg

before.

''Never', replies Dave.

'Well just relax and let it happen', the rooster reassured him.

And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out

from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions

got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time.

When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he

knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him .
. . Ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg, he felt an enormous

smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting...

'Dave, wake up, you drunken bastard. You've sh!t the bed!!'
