What did detect it?

Childhood, not children.

Marmite on toast (cut into 4 pieces per slice) cured all of my childhood ailments.

Right, this means war! To paraphrase Morrissey, Marmite lovers of the World, unite and take over.

BBC News - Birmingham City Council IT jobs 'could go overseas' Is this the shape of things to come?

My experience is the same.

I too thought Space: Above and Beyond was superb. La Femme Nikita was also rather good.

I wouldn't call it racism. Historical favoritism perhaps.

Err, Dana International?

I always hope that we get 'Nil Pwan'. Blue let me down. Anyone remember Gemini from a few years ago? I still laugh at that now. The worst singing I have ever heard. Rightly deserved 'nil pwan'.

Who cares? Accept it for it is. Hilarious and camp television. I was hoping Moldova would do well. Their hats were superb. As much as I hate the brothers Grime, they had me in stitches with their daft jumping around.

They should never have cancelled Prisoner Cell Block H. I gave up watching most new shows when everyone started calling them seasons instead of series. Someone on here even used the word franchise. I did get into a show called 'Smith' on ITV4 a few years ago that starred Ray Liotta. Watched about 4 episodes, then the following week it wasn't on. I had a quick google, and found out that it had been cancelled before ITV4 had started showing it. What is the point of showing it then? Why did you buy the rights to show it you morons?

Exquese me?

The mickey take of the 7th Seal in B&T2 is brilliant. :-)

Wait a year or two and you will be over the moon that the bank wouldn't give you that mortgage.

Not going down well on SupportNet

Did you get a cup of Tea and some Custard Creams?

Are there any legal issues if you tell them to stuff their notice period?

No they can't. They can put as many clauses in as they want, but they are not legally enforceable. (They do though, the sneaky *****!)

Sophos still seems more than happy to let Fake AV install itself and then not do anything. I want to get my hands on the Avast Enterprise version.

You're right. I Apologise. It's hard not to have a dig at Yorkshire's 1st lady Christa, that's all.

There are a couple of reasons why, in my opinion. The role of ICT Co-ordinator is not taking seriously in a lot of schools. It is literally dumped on a member of staff, usually the newest. There are of course exceptions to this, and those schools are usually the ones that have a good setup. Schools that buy outside support often change providers every year. How are they meant to get a grip on setting up and maintaining a good network and support provision, if they have a different provider each year? Different people, do things in different ways. We took over the support of a school in April '09. The network consisted of an awful lot of old computers, especially laptops. There was no funding to replace these. A few weeks later we found out that the school had ordered new workstations for the classrooms. They didn't consult with us, and bought some that we would not have recommended.. Throughout the year, these caused all sorts of issues. Come April '10, the school did not buy our support back and signed up to another provider. 3 different support companies in 3 years. All have different ways of doing things. 3 different ICT Co-coordinators in that time too.

Are you suggesting the BBC does not have a left-wing bias these days? (Not suggesting it has always been this way)

Just as I was getting used to them Cisco kills Flip video camera line | News | TechRadar UK

Translation: You must be willing to promote our left-wing agenda at the expense of the unfair TV tax. (Oh, and put up with Christa Ackroyd)
