BBC could save money and just relocate to the Guardian

The BBC are already using alternative means of making programmes, but don't let that get in the way of your personal bias ;)

Let's keep the talk on BIRD please, and leave politics off the board.

The news is that BBC are now going to run repeats because Covid 19 has interrupted their filming schedules - its taken them from 23/03 to realise this might happen if they didn't look at alternative means of making programmes?

"She jacked in her job in March and planned to holiday in Italy until May."

Also said she expected role was going anyway, so why not wait and collect a redundancy cheque???

How BBC and actually any councils are allowed to carry on beggars belief, I saw a semi local council budget it's on spreadsheet!


Lol

To the London cabby, the BBC building is known as "The Tripe Shop".

Hopefully we won’t be waving Tata to our Cowboy Boot dreams...

Cabi
They would be certainly high on my list to do business with!

Huge player massive media cloud network infrastructure with big name Media Clients.
What’s not to like.

Any thoughts on Tata Communications using the BIRD.

Seen a few likes from Blackbird employees including Ian on Tata Communications LinkedIn posts.

Lol, Kayleigh, did you at least put some BIRD in your ISA?

"What's an ISA"?

Money you leave to grow and don't spend.


"How dare you and F#4C3 you my lips are not catfish style yet, I need to feel accepted".

Credit card company.. can we increase your limit?


Too harsh?🤐

bonio

So many stories like that.

Can the latest on contract iPhone 11 be repossessed?
If that happens the riots on the streets will be next level!

I have been seeing it coming for the last 20 years!

Somehow the powers that be manage to keep the fraud going!

[sideshowbull] 16/6/2020 17:47

Well at least some of us see what is coming, it will be Epic, and shocking.

Most average Joe's are a pay check away from bankruptcy.

People who live on the margin or beyond means (leased flashy cars etc.) will be in serious trouble.
Young working force especially in hospitality will be screwed and if you have no mom or dad willing to let you hang around it will be hell.

I think anyone on furlough after August 1 is done.

Banks will lend but only at credit card finance levels, default levels will be high.


I think we will do a Las Vegas in many areas.


Apart from BIRD GOLD BTC and SAFEX (gamble) I am holding cash so I can get a garage in Westminster for £100k! 🙄🙄

Absolutely

[bonio10000] 16/6/2020 16:24

On the plus side - i might be instructed to investigate a potential Ponzi scheme.

LOL

[bonio10000] 16/6/2020 16:23

Yup - and all that happened was the taxpayer subsidised a period.

With or without the lockdown, the hospitality sector was done.

Average restaurant operates on a 2% to 5% total margin and 50% fail in two years of opening.

How on earth reduced covers are supposed to work I have no idea.

Unless they can get landlords to take a haircut.

[nickb] 16/6/2020 16:20

Good points.

I think there are many people who don’t realise they are about to lose their jobs over the next few months.

[bonio10000] 16/6/2020 16:17

Furloughing was a waste of time imho.

[mcsean2164] 16/6/2020 16:17

I just can't see many companies having the head space to think outside the box.

Hope I'm wrong.
