He was saying that kit given away to charity or individuals is as a kind gesture and not expected to be sold on for profit other than to benefit the charity whereas footballers personal collections of stuff may eventually be sold as it is no longer wanted or to raise cash if they are skint.
Still doesn’t make sense, the valuable items will belong to the best players who don’t need the cash so they should donate it to charities to sell. Skint players won’t have the high value items that the business would really want. So Neville said he could help sourcing it didn’t make sense to me.The guy countered well, by saying g he sources from collectors who sell to others, all he had to do was say he wouldn’t buy direct from players who would otherwise give to charities
Woman selling the snake oil ear things, buys them for 3 quid sells for 30 quid, so what value does she add to these?
I get what business is, but why buy hers if we know we can get them for 3 quid from China ourselves?
Its because sad idiots who claim they have mental illness or anxiety follow her on insta and get all cult of personality and throw money at her....
Load of crap same with the knob and the hot chocolate.
Talk s
t about wellness, mental health, anxiety, spiritual enlightenment, join me on this journey, bullst in a bottle soon to be for sale in a fridge in ASDA.
Found the couple selling Netflix in a grey skip, suddenly tasked with solving the UK's housing crisis pretty startling as well.

Or £6 on amazon.I get what business is, but why buy hers if we know we can get them for 3 quid from China ourselves?
The ME/CFS charities have written to the BBC, they're not impressed that they're promoting a 'cure' by a snake oil salesperson who supposedly cured herself.

And this 'wellness' thing seems to be an excuse to separate people with obvious issues although doubtful its proper mental illness, rather just human fragilities which don't need pharmaceutical intervention 9oh but the doctors will still give it to them) or some wellness snake oil, separate them from their money selling a false hood so really its a cult, or a religion aimed at the main wellness being the person profiting from it...t storytelling.

David Koresh, Jim Jones would do things a little differently these days lets put it that way...
Back ground so i don't sound like a nasty mental health denier, i have 'lived' with a bi polar diagnosis for 30 odd years.
Drinking some hot chocolate in itself isn't going to help trust me....

Clearly you haven't had the "right" chinese Hot chocolate (sourced from alibaba at 75p a pop) bought from a wellness guru for £17.50!
I might try it, i guess you sip it as you try to take your mind off the white LR Evoque your forced to pay every month so you fit in for the good of your mental health, and have faith that pound shop Russell Brand has blessed every single portion before it made its way out of some generic industrial estate to hundreds of super markets."Dragons Den entrepreneur changes name of her Acu Seeds firm and brings in Bartlett's brother as a director."

I used to like Dragons Den, but it has gone really soft.
Most people seem to walk off with investment, there doesn't seem to be the same level of in depth grilling, Watching the companies pitching squirm under tough questioning used to be part of the attraction. Its just not thee anymore.

It's like everything, these dragons want to be seen to be 'saving' the planet and peoples mental health whilst making huge amount's of cash and hiding the fact that those things aren't mutually exclusive...Most people seem to walk off with investment, there doesn't seem to be the same level of in depth grilling, Watching the companies pitching squirm under tough questioning used to be part of the attraction.

Its like NIke, so long as they post some BLM thing on socials no none cares or prods about their own record with slave labour amongst other things....
Classic hide in plain sight, woke washing i think its called. And green washing i think.....

I miss Theo 
Didn't realise he wasn't on it anymore. I quit a few episodes into the last series... started the first episode of this one and it set the tone for me.
It's gone over the reality tv tipping point so is no longer a programme I've want to watch. Similarly to the Apprentice - that tipped many years ago now and is pure reality TV entertainment.
Don't get me wrong, these programmes have always been for entertainment, it's just they've gone way too far. May as well watch Love Island.
I'm not knocking them as if people enjoy them, great. I'm just noting the huge change over the years.
It has gone more 'feel good TV' than proper business pitches (there are still a few in there).
It's harmless enough but absolutely nothing like it used to be. When someone posted the other day I thought I'd missed an episode but had no inclination to watch on catch up. If there's nothing else on (there's not exactly a lot of good choice these days) I'll watch it and my wife will sit and watch it now, she wouldn't have been interested when it was more detailed/technical etc.

The episode featuring the miraculous ear seeds has now been removed from the iPlayer pending a review.
