You might be a little concerned with the state of the economy, worried that your job isn’t safe or frightened you might not be able to find a job when you graduate and wined up penniless?  Well over at Here Comes The Boss we wouldn’t let that happen, especially after hearing about good old Karolyne Smith of Utah and her entrepreneurial spirit. Worried about money and fuelled for the love of her son and keeping him in a good school Karolyne decided to take the novel step of selling advertising space on her body.  Where would you choose?  I’m not at liberty to discuss my choice, a very nice policeman asked me not to do that again in public, but where would you choose?  Karolyne went for her forehead.  What’s wrong with the girl?   For $10,000 those innovative chaps at Golden Palace bought Karolyne’s forehead and had Goldencasino.com inscribed above her eyes for the world to see.  Perhaps you should just check out a few of our job finding videos instead?  

‘Course the problem with the fat cats losing money is the tightening of the belt trickles down to affect the earning of everyone from the motorcycle courier, the florist, the restaurateur, and the prostitute. That’s right. A survey of 649 high class escorts (I know 648 of them) has shown that times are hard for those that relied on bedding wealthy City boys. One 24-year-old said: “These fancy City boys used to pay me £5000 a night. Now they are haggling at £1000.” That’s the spirit lads! Don’t go down without a fight! Er…there’s got to be a better way of phrasing that..!

Not much of an end to the week playmates, with black clouds circling over Woolworths, MFI, ITV, DSG and Moss Bros. Let’s face it, not “premium brands.” So here’s some turnips from the tip to remind you someone’s having a worse week than you: take the entrepreneurs at Puck Technology who face 8 years in prison for marketing a prosthetic penis (The Wizzinator) that allows customers to cheat drug tests by issuing warm, uncontaminated urine…the boss of 118 118 after a Lancashire Muslim student who paid 60p for the 118 118 joke line service and was sent two deeply offensive racist “jokes”…the Texan police officer who had had sex with a prostitute while supposedly investigating an illegal brothel. He was suspended from his job despite claiming, “I didn’t have pleasure doing it…it was something I did for the city.” …but worst week of all must go to the 64 year-old man who tried to sue a hospital, claiming that during a routine procedure the surgeon stapled his rectum shut. He lost his case as medical evidence proved that he smoked so much that he had in fact been constipated for 17 days. Something for the weekend!

It’s fair to say our current woes began thanks to the USA and the sub-prime mortgage fiasco where banks took on debt people could never pay back if times got tough. So while Darling the Badger is committing this country to the sort of debt I run up at the club on casino night, its worth looking over the pond to see how President Obama is going to get us all out of this mess: “Obanomics” is what they are calling it. The good news is he does have a plan. First he wants to create and save 2.5 million US jobs by investing in the national infrastructure. Then he announced his new finance task force – saying they would start work straight away. A “jolt” to the economy means chucking money at it. An estimated $700bn in this case (making Darling’s strides look like peanuts). Obama himself said the problem was “no longer just an American crisis, it is a global crisis - and we will need to reach out to countries around the world to craft a global response”. Good luck with that. Thank the Lord the old bloke with “Country First” as his slogan didn’t get in!

A ”Citizen Journalist” on CNN website mistakenly claims boss Steve Jobs has a heart attack and sends Apple’s shares crashing… With another ill-informed BBC business Blog by dyed-hair scribbler Robert Peston accused of terrifying traders and wiping £17bn off the share price of UK banks… American lawyer Michael Kelly “forgot” to submit his client’s bond release request leaving the accused in a cell for two years, patiently assuming his lawyer was working on his behalf… And Environmental groups accused Starbucks of wasting water by leaving taps on all day to clean spoons and utensils in each store’s dipper well…
