Borders is class, grab a book, grab a drink, fantastic. Someone post the date when it's announced please?
Book released 16 Aug, not heard of any book signings lined up, have spoken to the publishers and they have not mentioned anything and we have discussed several things....so I wopuldn't bank on Borders...unless the Publishers just not telling me of course. |

Borders is the bastard offspring of a US company....which has now been flogged to a UK venture capital company...it's sole remit being to make profit for its shareholders. With this in mind, its closed several of its in town stores to concentrate on it's shopping mall outlets...throw in its links with Starbucks, and you have US foreign policy tailored to retailing. Both help drive the small independent to the wall, and enhance the ubiquitous conformity of shoping in England. I feel a trip to Hay on Wye coming on. |

...but more importantly than all that, it is a pretty good place to pick up high calibre chicks.
Wouldn't mind working there to be honest with you.

Autophies! I'm sure you can't ask that sort of question these days.
Are you sure it was Borders the book shop you were applying for Dave?

I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to ask that. If you didn't get the job you could claim it was because of your sexual orientation. Much like they aren't allowed to ask how old you are or if you are female if you are pregnant or planning on starting a family. |
