In London, there are lots of jobs also for techies, schools have a lot of trouble, because anyone good will go to the city unless they are starting out or like the school environment. Even if you like working in a school, the pay can only go so high, most techies end up leaving education to get higher pay elsewhere, when they get older etc. Some companies in the city pay crazy wages, it can almost be double what a school would pay. But you have to remember also that London housing is very very expensive, so even on such a high wage, a person might not have much left at the end of the month after paying rent. Also a problem for schools, staff cannot afford to live here.

That's what I know him from.

I was going to see the new Star Trek film, then realised it was already out. Horrible movie, all action and still boring. Inferno looks good, can't wait for it to be released on home media.

This is really nothing to do with me, as I don't and have never used the service, however I will throw my short opinion in. You signed up for a product, it seems it has continually had issues, what the business has or has not done to resolve the issue is pretty irrelevant. You pay for the product, it should be delivered. I would ditch it as soon as possible. Business is business as they say. Most businesses don't act until they start losing customers.

I agree completely with you. Every year it's sooner when the shops start stocking up with Christmas stuff, just makes me a feel a bit sick to be honest. In America they start in September. My nan used to tell me all she got for Christmas was an orange, something to be said for that.

That's them, I was very young when they were still in use but can remember them. -
It's horrible people have to lose their jobs, but I'm not surprised. RM was too expensive and the systems (at least up to four or so years ago when I used it) were very poor. They used to charge stupid prices for simple tasks. It drove many schools away.

As soon as the advert was released I thought this would happen. Does remind me of the old pull top coke cans and how the discarded tops used to be all over the place. Am I remembering right?
