I don't log on for a day and this happens.

Sorry folks, I realise we have a hundred sappy tearfest threads already in here, but I wanted to say my piece and this way it's likely someone will bother to read it.

You lot are alright - I'd gladly invite all of you around for a party sometime if I wasn't so pathetic and lived with my parents at the age of 26.
Well, not all of you ...

I've enjoyed passing away the time with philosophical life changing discussions and inane rantings. You've cheered me up when times are down and it's been great to be able to log on at any time of the day to talk complete nads. Cheers and plenty of beers.

Of course, this is only if the worst happens. If the forum stays open, you can all go to hell ...

Good luck ex-staffies, though I've no doubt you'll do well in the future, as I hope the rest of you do.

Look out for my new column 'Getting the most from your Modem'.

I think it best if we all stop speculating and wait for the official word.

Whats going to happen to all their stock. Maybe the so called "investor" will swoop and pick up a few bargains.

OK. If it has been going under for a while, I think they shudda been warned. Personal moral opinion. I didnt know company's culd just crash out like that. If that happened...poo. unlucks. Massive shame.

...Hey, the company going under is one thing, no notice, no annoumncement, no nothing is what bugs me. You can't treat you're staff like that! If the company was going under surly they would have known SOMETHING about it before-hand? I mean, I thought they were hangin on OK, they were one of the few invited to test play the X-BOX 360 wern't they?

SO yeah I agree Pandemonium, but there's no excuse for treating staff like that. I don't believe a company can go completely under in a day, without warning.

Jesus...what a load of s**t. And no official announcement here either.... That sucks. Hope the gits responsible are ravaged slowly in jail after dropping the soap.

racingsam, it happens all the time. Ever heard the several instances of call centre workers who were just brought to the building entrance, and just fired? Or those laid off by text.

feel free, and anyone else I regularly talk to.

but if you start pestering me while I'm on the vinegar strokes, ogling 'Jenny, 19 from croydon', you're heading for a blocking.
