The solution? Move closer to work.

It's not effective branding though, it's just over exposure. Effective branding needs to represent the business have meaning to the customer. It also needs to have meaning globally, which is something many businesses are unaware of. How effective would RUWAAD be in London? To me, their campaign is ...

I disagree... Coca Cola, Pepsi, Cadbury's, Nike, Puma... their branding was not thought up over night. From the logo to slogans to store layouts and signage. It's a very well thought out process. It's even moved into entertainment with many bands and artists having some kind of branding. Again I wi...

Man it hurts... but everyday it gets easier. If she doesn't love you then move on. Get out and about with some friends and do things, try and take her off your mind.

I recommend bowling.

Thursday Poll - Do you share, rent yourself, or own.

Easy question, quite topical - share, rent on own, or own?

Edit: In Dubai!

By birth right I own all of Ireland and most of the UK, but I won't get into specifics of that here.
