Had a great start to the year Which will hopefully make up for the absolutley chronic last quarter of 2005 swings and roundabouts I guess.

The last quarter's been a wee bit quiet for deals, but the next quarter loooks like it could be a record for us! Time will tell.

True. No one was doing anything for six weeks before xmas on the advertising side though. Shop sales were very good though.

This month has been the busiest ever for classified submissions though.

Perhaps it's a sign that everyone's selling up and leaving the country though

As always we have had a very quiet start to the year. Chances are little in the way of new business will arrive until later in the year.

Anyone need any HR/T&A/Timesheets/Holidays/Absences/Flexitime functionality we're always here, ready to assist!

Rather quiet here, but nothing that's not directly attributable to management ineptitude.
