For a start we couldn't believe what a total mug Christer Holloman must be to have swallowed Calum's bulls**t.
Amongst the cherry-ripe quotes that we loved were:
"Last week I got a chance to catch up with one of UK’s most promising young entrepreneurs to see what he was up to these days."
"promising" yes, he's great at promising, it's just the delivery he has trouble with!
"........runs three businesses and employs a small army of assistants."Like hell he does!! What a load of cobblers! In his head maybe, but in reality he's run away from Coventry and come down to London to live in a renovated piano factory in Camberwell to try and make some money, leaving all his work colleagues in the shit back home to such a degree that they're closing down CBJL's plush serviced offices and James Leavesley, the "JL" of CBJL seems to have been unceremoniously dumped. Could CBJL be just the latest in a very long string of company failures for the skinny boy from Coventry?
"...........Social Helium, where he already has racked up an impressive list of clients"Another lie!! Social Helium doesn't even have a proper website and, in all probability, any clients it has were nicked from a previous company where he's still the subject of an investigation for a number of breaches both civil and criminal!
"His company has developed proprietary social media management tools and is regularly involved as a facilitator at roundtable discussions with C-level executives from a range of government bodies, charities and companies including Yahoo, eBay and Vodafone to name a few."Does he seriously think people believe this stuff? Firstly, any tools are based on PHP, which is open source, so how can his tools be proprietary? Secondly, according to what we've seen they don't work, are full of bugs and the code is so badly written as to be almost useless! As for this youth being taken seriously at a roundtable discussion with Yahoo, eBay and Vodafone - not a hope!!
This one we loved:
"......the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours."There are only two things Calum Brannan is likely to have practised for this long. The first is lying and he's incredibly good at that! The second is auto-erotic stimulation.
"........combined with his successful track record......."
That's a bit of a classic - how many businesses has this boy had collapse around his ears? 3? 4? more?
The liquidation of a couple of them, Youmeo still isn't complete a year after the process started!
Well done Christer Holloman, you had us wetting ourselves with laughter at your article!! Thank you for the best laugh we've had in ages, you muppet!
That's your credibility dented for a while.
