I love it, always drives me on to be better.

Anyway enough, this was meant to be about Wishing Olly happy Birthday!

Apologies for the absence, but abstinance from forums, social network sites etc has been a general goal, and done wonders for getting work done!

Tell you what Neil, you are fantastic at playing the old innocent card. But that's one of the thing that always used to make me chuckle about you!!

I've never been a very good politician, so I'll be honest. Yeah, if truth be known I am far from happy with you, whether it's right or wrong I feel that way. You and I were once close friends. You know what my business is to me. You know how much work I have put in. And I think you know the effect of setting up another brand that does below cost price. There's millions of services you could have chosen, and I wouldn't personally do that to one of my friends, you might be different, your choice and I don't want to deny you that. Which why, schoolboy style I've removed you from my Facebook! How childish of me. I have high standards for my friends, and sorry Neil, but you don't meet them anymore.

I'm not one to whinge though, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm quite sure if one of the other long standing forum members that have contributed over the years to the community, suddenly saw Dedicated servers or Colocation or Web hosting in the top right (lets say Quad Core dedicated servers at £38 / month), even without a friendship factor, wouldn't be impressed. I guess because there's myself working for INX, and Chris running Clanplanet as the only active GSP members on here, so you knew you could do that easily. But how would you guys selling dedis / web hosting feel?

And I know a certain forum member would give the old quote quote reply, business is business blah blah. Well let me ask you, on your deathbed, does your business hold your hand? Nah. My business is my job, but my family, my friends are way way more important.

I'm not one to whinge though (queue mass splitting of sides!), so I'll leave it at that.

Believe it or not, I'm not daft (believe it or not ), thus I can't see myself posting on here much anymore given it's aiding a competitor.

And on that note, competition is actually one of the best things to increase your turnover and profits. We have three of us full time 8-8 core hours now (10-10 with 2 members), which I'm quite sure no other GSP comes close to. Yes, quality over quantity, I'd like to hope!

And Neilly, I'm sure you'll know that seeing a certain company halfing your special offer at 19p a slot. I bet you are bricking it!!

Thank you again for the birthday wishes, I did have a fantastic birthday!

Until next time
