Now there are thousands of new beautiful products throughout the assortment. It was just a sprawling mess of dealing with too many people and not being relevant to enough suppliers. Typically loss-making businesses and particularly loss-making retailers have deep cultural problems. IR: I feel like the companies that have done well throughout the pandemic are the ones that had already invested in culture.

And the pandemic has made that even more fierce. I think people increasingly are looking for meaning and purpose in where they work and they want to work for brands that are values-driven, people-centric, transparent and empowering; brands that value their people and allow employees to express themselves.

So many companies try to solve their problems from the top, out of the C suite, and they just dictate solutions downwards. Teams can reinvent a business from inside. Is there something about the large-format retail business that lends itself to that kind of culture? BC: I think there are a couple of things going on there. I think the first thing is just the curse of big business. If you think about a startup in a garage, the culture is awesome.

I think the magic trick is how do you get big, but stay small in terms of culture? If you think about that in terms of interior retail, when you go into a great boutique, you can get incredibly personalised service. And we all love that right?

I want to replicate that at scale. But I also think commentators in the industry have a lot to blame. You just walk in, get what you want and walk out. But buying and shopping are not the same thing and shopping is a recreational experience. Buying is acquisition, just getting the stuff you need, like buying a sandwich at lunch. When we shop, we want to interact with people and have social experiences. BC: Australian retail had a year bull run, it was amazing.

You could open anything in Australia and do well, the economy has been so incredibly vibrant. Australia was hardly hit by the GFC. But not all retailers can be saved, technology will disrupt some. Some are just irrelevant. We love its freedom. You can dive into town life, talking to everyone you meet and making a circle of friends and maybe even find a partner.

Or you can be a recluse, shacked up on your plot of land, on which you methodically farm carrots and potatoes. Time to plant your roots.

Your touchscreen adds an extra layer of interaction, and everything you tap will reward you with an adorable animation: bushes part their leaves, blinds unfurl in windows and birds take to the sky with a squawk. Download Hidden Folks here. A few turns of a staircase here, a well-placed twist of a pillar there, and protagonist Ro can move onto the next screen, where you find a new colour palette and another, equally stunning building.

The Room is the best puzzle series on Android: four games, each crammed with unique objects that demand you twist, pull and flick them into shape until you work out how to progress. Download The Room here. You play Passepartout, valet to Phileas Fogg, guiding your employer around the world against the clock. Each of the cities you can visit exude character, and are brought to life by evocative descriptions that give you a sense of place and history, all with a few sentences and an accompanying image.

You can plot any route you want around the world, which means every run reveals new details, and venturing even slightly off a particular path can wildly change what you see. Ironically, a guildie ran a pug VoD this morning, and a Sorc bailed when a few people died at the five-rune barrier, before the raid. Well, we managed to find a replacement for her, and wouldn't you know it, both Glacier pieces dropped one of which the raid was obliged, reluctantly, to vendor.

It was great people in last night's run. Minimal testosterone-induced carping before the raid began, and no harsh words after the initial wipe. Wow Aussie. Very nice job. I see you got a 9min PUG completion done too. I saw a post where one of the Elite Guilds took 7 pugs along and bragged about 15mins.

You did it in nearly half their time. You da man!!! Originally Posted by pscomputers. Golyat, Thelonies, Mavete, Uzziah. No Cleric!?!?!? Thats an awesome run, if you you need a player the next time you run it and I'm on, I have a character that can contribute. Aussie I don't need a Picture for you to prove to me it was done,so if and when you get it done and you post it, that is good enough 4me.
