Losing the pound sign on the computer.

No country for old men, oddest ending ever to a brilliant film.

If I was them I’d be asking for a refund. We’ve got an intern at work at the moment from the University of Bath. He told me pays three thousand odd quid a year now for 14hours of lectures a week.

Having seen some of the graduates we get in, and I am talking from top Uni’s (LSE, UCL, Warwick, Oxford etc), who can’t spell, can’t even be bothered using a spellchecker, can’t punctuate or produce credible written material or oral presentations, have no clue about current affairs or politics, show a poor attitude in that they think they know it all from Day 1 and don’t have the work ethic to learn the business from the ground up, then it makes me wonder what is coming out of some of these joke institutions that have sprung up calling themselves Universities.

It is easy to throw the blame at the Government, but the Higher Education establishments do not in my view offer either value for money to their students or prepare them adequately for the workplace.

The Aussie turn out for the 5th day. Get bigger crowds at Swinton.

Agreed



=#FF0000EQUALLY RED



The Ocker comment on TMS' live text that the reason for the poor turnout was that "we Aussies have jobs to go to". Those Brisbane HR departments must have been working flat out over the weekend as nobody seemed to have work on their mind on Thursday or Friday.

2022 Qatar WHY? population 900,000. great to leave a legacy for its massive footballing population, summer temps 50c too hot for football as stated in FIFA's own report.



more envelopes than Manchester sorting office

Sometimes I just do not know what I think. On the one hand I am proud to come from a country with a free press and a degree of transparency in public affairs. On the other we have a publicly funded broadcaster clearly working against the national interests. Then we have corruption with expenses, cash for questions etc at Westminster. It seems that this country likes to project a holier than thou attitude in everything, but I have no doubt when you scratch beneath the surface we’re no better than anyone.

As usual we have the media whipping up a storm about how we’ve got the best bid and at the same time putting out stories that would give Fifa every reason not to give us the World Cup, sick of this country I really am.
