There’s no way this labour government would accept that. They’d just refuse and we’d do no politics with the US for them not respecting protocol.

As relevant as ever.

Anyone watched the turning point series on Netflix? Decent documentary.

The good news is that nothing will change… the bad news is that nothing will change! Lets be honest, there was never going to be any other outcome. This election result changes nothing we didn’t already know months ago. Labour is no different to the torries other than if you’re in the 0.1% or possibly for us. But that’s unclear and to what extent. Anything labour does to us the torries would’ve eventually done anyway. They’re the same.

It’s mind boggling to me why it’s gone viral, it just seems so ‘normal’. I mean I get it, her energy/personality has resonated, but to this level? Seems completely un-newsworthy to me in this day and age. And not for any bad reason. And I doubt it’s going to cause her major long term problems. Attitudes have changed and she seems to have enough about her to handle any banter. Seems like a sound bird, shame she’s lost her job.

I’ve done nearly 200 pages of this book in three days which is unheard of for me. The research that’s gone into this book is unreal. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the military and/or geopolitics. The general tone of it is total doom. Which I don’t necessarily agree with but the shear volume of facts and credible individuals interviewed is probably unpresidented. If there’s one takeaway for me it’s that maintaining better comms with our adversaries and working towards greater understanding internationally should be one of the highest priorities in politics. Our s

Get up on a roof with your sunnys and factor fifty to watch the show!

I feel a bit like that. What exactly are we voting for this time?
-
Just a small setup but does me. Can get three in a pen at a squeeze.

We had a load this year for the cabin. Burnt well enough. It’s not ash mind. But suppose it is when you’re finished lol.
-
I found it mad how it all appeared to converge like that.
-
What an incredible night! Thought I’d never see it.
-
As far as I’m aware my prostate is in fine fettle but I reckon I’m gonna give that nettle tea a spin.
-
Every man and his dog is going to agree with you. It's completely reasonable. But let's be honest, reason and alcohol don't really mix do they.

2 years and 400 pages, I'm sure something exciting will happen soon!

I can relate, just not to the generalisation. Like I said, stakeholder management and discipline is all there is to it. With experience you develop a sixth sense for those gaps, whether you're a PM or just work in a similar role in a project environment. Two minutes ago I just took a call on how acceptable it is for product battery life to significantly be reduced in freezing temps, 24 hrs before we commit 6 figures to manufacturing. That's entirely because, for this project, proper governance came way too late. I've seen no PM, waterfall, agile, bad PM and good PM. It's night and da
-
Yep that’s a project . I’m just used to good PMs really benefiting projects.
-
Not sure I'd really call that project management tbh. That sounds more a business as usual activity. What's the output? I mean a PM would do that as part of an actual project if there wasn't a dedicated team member to handle logistics but it's not exactly representing the value that a PM really brings to an organisation. Not that I'm a project manager but the best ones are experts at stakeholder management. I see it all of the time where directors/VPs are completely misaligned, team members too afraid to voice concerns over feasibility etc etc. Stakeholder management and discipline are al

I'll be honest, I've never worked with anyone on that sort of money except maybe the current or former C-suite professionals in the upper echelons of in multinationals that need 9+ digits to record their "EBITDA". Are you talking about just a really good Java/python etc dev's? Because one worth a million quid a year is mind boggling to me. What I would expect for that sort of money is someone with three decades of experience in SW, ranging from dev, system architecting, infrastructure, PM/PO/SM, data engineering/science, with a CV that has roles on like CTO at Spotify etc etc. How co

You’d have to have an extremely niche skill set with a very comprehensive portfolio to achieve that though. He’s beyond the 1%. For every one of your mate there’s 1000 wankers who will sit there with a completely straight face and say that a catastrophic bug that ground the system to a standstill within two days of release is my fault because it wasn’t defined in the acceptance criteria that it shouldn’t do that. AI coding tools can’t come fast enough!

I think it’s still quite normal for tradesmen to go self employed. But modern industry more widely has many specialist professions that aren’t so suited to being self employed. They’re a cog that needs a machine. I’ve worked at a tiny tech company, a huge one and something in between. For me personally I don’t get much satisfaction out of the day to day of a small firm. Everything is a bit of a blag and Mickey Mouse. Working at a big firm that has the resources to really be top tier can be fulfilling in a way Fred in his shed just can’t compete with.

Similar topic. Never saw ravens our way, moved to the southern end of the vale and there’s plenty here and apparently have been for ages. Weird how they haven’t spread though.
-
Simply a case of the population recovering and their geographic range expanding as a result. I live in the sticks and they turned up here about 5 years ago and are quite prevalent now. First time I ever saw them was 15 years ago while labouring on a site in Henley.

Technology moved on. The value of sites like this is just a place to have deeper discussions. In terms of entertainment the app based social media platforms have a way higher level of engagement. A huge volume and variety of content, millions of pictures and videos from all over the world. Pure ‘quick fixes’. And the effective ‘suggested posts/accounts’ features based on what you’re clicking on to keep users addicted.
