Whoever is reesponsible for those crap street banners along Edge Lane and Speke Boulevard should be taken out and given a good kicking (and then given a huge pay-off of course). They are utterly disgraceful. Flimsy, dull, unreadable, tattered, cheap and nasty. They are unlikely to see the New Year in, never mind last all the way through 2008. How can the Culture Company fuck such simple things up so badly - and who is responsible? Look of the city? Fuck-up of the city more likely.
They do talk bollocks, don't they?
The Culture Company have lost another key member of staff - in Events Marketing. So they are advertising for someone else to replace her. A bit late in the day, you might think. ANYONE WHO ENJOYS DRINKING FROM A POISONED CHALICE SHOULD LAP THIS JOB ADVERT UP....

Our client plays a key role in publicising and promoting Liverpool's European Capital of Culture 2008, and so next year is critical to its operations and is the culmination of many years work. As such, getting the right candidate is a key priority and we expected the recruitment process to move quite swiftly.
What a load of bollocks they all said Everyone knows Warren did not want JH to get the position in fact they originally gave him the title interim CEO, but the childish tosser spat his dummy out and went home refusing to come into work until they gave him the full title.
So they relented demonstrating the fact that they are weak simpl minded buffoons.
weak and have a shambles going om around them and a £250K hole in pocket as well (our pocket that is)
