But at school? He “couldn’t be put in a classroom”. “I really struggled academically, I find it very hard to be put in a box, I’m very free thinking which sadly didn’t develop in education in the 1990’s,” says Mr Bishopp, who lives near Framlingham. “I attempted university and realised that it just wasn’t what I wanted.”Mr Bishopp, 46, has co-founded the Suffolk Business Start Lab, to support start up entrepreneurs in Suffolk, along with Toby Durrant - who, like him, is a highly successful entrepreneur who didn’t exactly thrive in the traditional school environment. “I … [Read more...] about How Paddy & Scott’s was born, and why you need failure to grow a business

Shocking moment two women TWERK on roof of 4×4 as it hurtles along busy US motorway
SHOCKING videos have emerged of two daredevil women TWERKING on the roof of an SUV as it hurtles down a busy US highway. The bizarre clips were filmed on Monday and show the fearless pair shaking their buttocks while the 4x4 cruises through St. Louis, Missouri. And the unusual sight clearly shocked those commuters heading home from work in the evening rush hour traffic. “We were in traffic obviously and were going pretty slow, but then I saw a girl get out of the car and get on top of the vehicle,” Jackie Friedhoff told The New York Post. “And I’m like, ‘Did I just see that?’” Friedhoff, 30, said she was only driving about 10 mph when she spotted the two women, both of whom were wildly gyrating their backsides as the GMC SUV motored down the highway. A third woman can be seen hanging out of a passenger-side window, capturing the dangerous maneuver on her mobile phone. Friedhoff said the women jumped on top of the SUV twice, causing other … [Read more...] about Shocking moment two women TWERK on roof of 4×4 as it hurtles along busy US motorway
Newborn boy didn’t breathe for 26 MINUTES after he was born as ‘busy hospital staff failed to follow procedure’
A NEWBORN baby boy didn't breathe for 26 minutes after he was born because "busy hospital staff didn't follow a procedure", an inquest heard today. Little Sebastian Clark died at St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London on March 12 last year, just four days after a difficult birth at Kingston Hospital in Surrey. His parents Alison and Justin Clark from Surbiton had to make the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support machine after he contracted an infection that doctors said he could not recover from. On March 6, Mrs Clarke's waters broke, and she repeatedly begged doctors and midwives for a caesarean. But on the "busy" night, staff said it was not needed, and instead gave her a 'sweep', procedure that widens the cervix to encourage natural birth. Dr Chorouk Kohler-Boureq said "one thing had to take over the other" when both mothers became classed as emergencies. But this procedure is known to 'activate' naturally-occurring bacteria such as B Strep and E-Coli in … [Read more...] about Newborn boy didn’t breathe for 26 MINUTES after he was born as ‘busy hospital staff failed to follow procedure’
The time Julián Castro did business with Trump — and quickly regretted it
On Saturday, Julián Castro announced he wants Donald Trump’s job. Back in 2002, he wanted Trump’s business. As a San Antonio City Council member in his late 20s, Castro voted to give $600,000 in taxpayer subsidies to land Trump’s Miss USA beauty pageant — a move that delighted the business mogul at the time and would undoubtedly do so again if Castro gains traction in the Democratic presidential primary. Story Continued Below “I had many people who wanted [the pageant], and San Antonio did a great job taking it away from other cities," Trump told the San Antonio Express-News at the time, adding later: “I usually end up investing wherever I go. You got to do something with the money, right?” Mayor Ed Garza, who met with Trump personally and worked hard to land the event, argued it was a “sound investment for the media exposure.” But Castro would soon wonder if he made a mistake in voting to fork over serious taxpayer cash for … [Read more...] about The time Julián Castro did business with Trump — and quickly regretted it
