EMI – It’s a Hand job

Speaking at the SuperReturn Private equity business conference –

“I know how feisty and temperamental artistic types can be and having spent a number of years on the fringes of the music industry myself, I can bear testament to what a bunch of awkward twats they can be.”

“What we are doing is taking the power away from the A&R guys and putting it with the suits – the guys who have to work out how to sell music.”

Does this mean the future of EMI lays in the hands of ‘Hands‘ picked SImon Cowell protege’s?

Far from breath life into EMI, with a day-traders mentality; This ‘guy’s going to undermine creativity, and de-stabalise the long term future EMI and it’s dependents.

Hallelujah.

Severn Trent Billing tries to Scam me out of money – Part #7

  • Dear Mr Tyler,
  • Account number 598168590-9
  • I have been passed your email of 6/2/08, from Darren Sandbach who is our
  • Web Executive. I have investigated your query and can see that the reason
  • that we were stating that you still owed £74.20 was because you had made
  • the payment on an account in the name of the occupier. The confusion seems
  • to have arisen due to you informing us that you would be leaving the
  • property and emigrating. Once this happened we updated the account for
  • Flat 3 into the name of the Occupier ready for a new occupant to provide
  • their details. You then informed us that you were no longer leaving Flat 3
  • and we opened an account back into your name, in the meantime the £74.20
  • was paid using the Occupier bill. I have now transferred the £74.20 onto
  • your current open account number as shown above.
  • I am sorry for the inconvenience or distress that this misunderstanding
  • may have caused you and can confirm that your account balance is now nil.
  • Your next bill will be issued during February/March 2008 for the charges
  • that will be due for the period 1/4/08 to 31/3/09. Should you have any
  • further queries please call our Contact Centre on 08457 500 500.
  • I trust that this resolves the matter to your satisfaction.
  • Regards
  • Becky Bosley

I used to work for your lot.

I think it funny that you want to destroy my life.
