    Hi, got any good gossip?! I'm a financial journo for an institutional investors magazine.

    :lol: no..

    which one btw (I never read that sort of thing) working in the field is bad enough

    I used to work for CS but got made redundant last year half a years wages tax free said I was happy to go, I damn near ran out the door

    Not telling! What's the name of your company now?

    Feed me gossip - who's got no clients, whose platform is junk!! :D[/quote]

    you're the journo.. I suspect you can give me a shortlist of the top 3 software houses for F&O and then I might tell you something....[/quote]

    Easy - Fidessa are doing interesting things at the mo. GFI is dominating as a broker and Fimat is a great FCM. I think SuperDerivatives are also working on some good stuff too - they have some interesting client names.

    Which is a bit like IT only the stuff is hot. And runny.

    I'm officially a student, but I'm doing a years placement with the Science and Technology Facilities Council near Warrington, so I'm cycle commuting there for the next year before I'm back in Manchester.
    I like bikes...

    "Real job" :lol:

    I work with doctors and NHS managers, see the NHS from the inside, and have seen a person from the inside as well (quite interesting, actually)

    This "real job" bo77ocks really gets my jib, everyone has a real job, we all add to the economic growth of the country (I've got a degree in economics, FYI, so this is a bit of a hobby horse).

    Harrumph.
    It's just a hill. Get over it.
