    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Johnson, Truss and Sunak were all found to have broken the parliamentary rules (in some cases many times) on not registering gifts and financial interests in the Register of member's financial interests. So now Starmer, who hasn't broken any rules (or laws, see above) and is doing exactly what...

    [Food] How fussy are you with food ?

    Parsnip crisps are brilliant, roast parsnips with honey OK, but Rhubarb is an a league of it's own with only Gooseberries getting close. And it's what Duck was always waiting for :drool::drool:

    Have to be honest, I wouldn't cook it myself, but if it was cooked for me :thumbsup:

    [Food] How fussy are you with food ?

    There's two things I wouldn't choose in a restaurant and that's raw coconut and tripe. I've eaten them both in dishes and don't mind them, I simply wouldn't choose them. Apart from them, any meat (great fan of Offal), sheep's brains, Steak a Cheval, sweetbreads, oysters, mussels, winkles...

    Of course it's not, it's an old man's joke. Like Meeja, Sports and Social Meeja. Have you seen how many people are actually employed in these industries these days ? But it's not Maths, History or the Classics, innit :wink:

    [Help] Starter jobs in IT

    That was only a small part of it. Our quality control recorded stats on how much development work (effort and function point) went into a particular release, the percentage of regression tests run, New functionality test resource effort, new automated tests created, when bugs were identified and...

    [Help] Starter jobs in IT

    We had our products on a few thousand client desktops, so our annual (and some products Bi-annual) releases required immense amounts of regression testing to check we hadn't f***ed up any of the clients we already had :wink: Setting up a good few thousand data sets and functional scenarios was...

    Unfortunately I believe it has changed a lot since a few GCE's, 6 months on a TOPS course, and a City and Guilds in programming got you a career in IT :wink: Maybe the suggestions around trying to get something in support, help desk, testing etc may be best to get started without a degree. Even...

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    No. I may not have read your posts as intended, if this is a general observation about politicians declaring interests, and for that I apologise, but that's not what the Times story is saying is it ? it may also be that I'm misreading them because they seem to be interspersed and reacted to by...

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    I don't suppose that anyone has actually taken the time to read the story linked. This has come to light because Starmer declared these items last Tuesday as a result of seeking advice from the authorities, and the Sunday Times have got round to reporting this today. A Number 10 spokesperson...
