Re: UKNM: Dotcom pureplays that makes money

[Adam Atkinson]

I started iPledge www.ipledge.net  a year ago. No VC, no investment at all

and despite preconceptions that I have a small army of workers employs

nobody but miysef. Because c. 2./3 of income is donated to charity, I have

just paid £20 cash for a Raleigh racer

Thanks to my Raleigh Racer failing to  burn rubber, belch fumes and turn my

arse into a blancmange the size of  Warwickshire through lack of exercise, I

can fit into 28" Levis when my age exceeds that number.

I'd call that fairly healthy.
