It’s All About Me

Glissers has opened a shop!

Go to Glissers Goodies and have a look.

My favorite is the cute little bear. That will be my default Christmas gift to friends and family…

Spreadshirt.com is way cool btw. It took me 1 h to set up the shop, design some products, and receive my first order (from myself, but still).

I think I’ve found a concept that would work, but right now I don’t have time to do it. Well I have time, but I spend it on other things.

What I would like to do is to arrange weekends of “jamcamps” in central London. Get 20 decent amateur musicians together for rehearsals on Saturday and Sunday, and then do live gig on Sunday night in a pub / club / restaurant. No point in sending people away to remote islands, as originally planned (thanks Demian and Oscar for good feedback).

I’ve spoken to a few companies with studios in central London and the costs for a studio is not more than 5-10 GBP / hour (including equipment). Which makes me believe that there’s a real opportunity - I’m sure the demand is there.

If I live and have the health I hope to do it one day.

I’ve created a limited company here in the UK, which I will use as the legal entity for my different projects. A holding company might be the correct term, but it sounds slightly too fancy, considering it’s a company currently without revenues and with a single employee (me).

The name is Blue Swede LTD. Blue is my favorite color, I’m a Swede, “Blue Suede Shoes” is a great song by Elvis, what else do I need to say. Most people really don’t like the name, but I do.

I went to see an accountant today, who will help me do my books, annual returns, and personal tax returns. He’ll be my all-around guide in UK’s taxation jungle, so to speak. The setup is slightly different - instead of charging per hour, he gave me a quote for the whole year. It’s more than I spent on my Volkswagen Golf, but I have a feeling the money will be well spent. And for being an accountant, this guy had a lot of humour. For example, he said that the name of my newly founded LTD sounds like a porn production company.
