I've always enjoyed the odd hand of poker or a night in with the lads and recently I've enjoyed the lure of online poker.
Initially I started just mucking around with play money, until I realised just how much money was spent playing online - estimates are currently around £14million per day!. There was only one problem with that though - Im not that good a poker player.
So I started a little poker site (a blog) of my poker adventures on and off-line and I simply added a banner for PokerRoom. I added my URL to my signature in forums and even had a sign made up for the back of my car!
High street banks will begin implementing systems within the next six months to cut the time that electronic payments take to clear.
It currently takes three days to process payments made electronically. Banks agreed to find a new method of processing payments after pressure from the government's Office of Fair Trading to improve processing times.
A 10-strong group of banks is examining three methods of processing electronic payments that can all clear the money within 24 hours. The banks, which meet as the implementation group of payment clearing association Apacs, aim to agree before the end of the year to use the same method for processing electronic payments.
The FSB has written to the Prime Minister to urge him not to waste any
time in delivering on Labour's key commitments to small businesses.
Carol Undy, the FSB's National Chairman, put pen to paper to Tony
Blair after the dust settled on Labour's third election victory.
In the letter she said she looked forward to working with the
newly elected government to achieve a stable economy in which small
firms can grow, prosper and create jobs and wealth.
Small businesses are being warned to carry out thorough background
checks on potential customers to avoid the risk of bad debt through the

According to the Metropolitan Police, fraudsters are thought to cost UK
businesses more than £50m a year by assuming the identity of a
legitimate company to obtain credit, goods and services illegally.
Typically they change the details of a registered limited
company - such as names of directors or the company secretary or the
registered address - at Companies House without the knowledge of the
company concerned.
