More or less every post Cripps made had some low level WUMming, a dig at someone or abuse. He added nothing to this place apart from making our post number stats look better. We are desperately in need of more people posting more of course, but it's not all about quantity, we'd like some quality too.

Their working hours in terms of hours per week aren't changing either. Just happens to be the odd night shift once every few weeks. Plus only around 1000 staff out of 20000 are going to be affected by night time tubes. Pissing unions.

If the french go on strike, don't they usually just make the underground free for the day? Ie a normal service but no one has to pay so that only the government suffer not the public. or is that one of those urban myths

[Marc Overmars]

They earn 50k and they're going on strike?

Fucks sake

They also get 43 days worth of leave and work an average of 36 hours a week?? Fuckers.

Couldn't be bothered with the buses as they looked rammed and frankly I don't know any bus routes either. So it cost me £30 to get home from work tonight with Uber.

[Marc Overmars]

I drove into work today after Uber quoted me £45 for the same journey I took last night with them. I had a little look online and the first headline I read is "Uber cash in on strike with £300% rise in fares" :doh:

It took me over an hour to drive in but at least I can park for free outside my building as my company has been kind enough to foot the bill today for parking.

[Niall_Quinn]

They earn 50k and they're going on strike?

Fucks sake

Government steals half of that so it can pay an army of bureaucrats and keep the soldiers and rent boys piled high. Banks steal more of it in inflation. Energy companies steal another chunk. Greedy landlords or insatiable pigs at the building society have their snouts out for the rest. £50K isn't what it used to be. Not much left to feed your own after all the other fuckers have been fed. Just a shame the rest of the workers in this country can't be bothered to stand up in support. A sustained general strike supported by the people would change the nation, but the pigs know how to keep workers divided.

[Letters]

£50K isn't what it used to be.
But it's still a lot, lot more than people like nurses and teachers get.

[Niall_Quinn]

But it's still a lot, lot more than people like nurses and teachers get.

Wrong comparison, it's invalid to use the abuse of one group to discount the abuse of another. There's a huge amount a wealth sloshing around in this country and it's in the hands of a tiny minority. If they weren't such greedy, despicable cunts then nurses and teachers could be paid in line with the worthwhile work they do. It's not the fault of the tube drivers that other workers don't get paid, it's the fault of government and the minority they represent. It's equally the fault of the average worker for tolerating government and the minority and not having the guts to stand up and build a society everyone could benefit from. So not surprising when a few stand up that cowards and the self-interested immediately rattle their own cages. No surprise the Telegraph is up for a hit piece on workers demanding their share. Add shysters and politicians and banksters and the quango boys and the upper echelons of those wankers shaving other peoples money and labour and how do those graphs look? The nurses vanish along with the teachers and that tiny little speck (get a magnifying glass) represents those greedy tube drivers. Truth is the modern lazy citizen generally prefers to trade liberty and justice for convenience and therein lies the problem. Lazy fucking sheep who won't do the right thing because it's scary and takes effort.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

My understanding is that it's not about money, they just don't want to go from working one or two weeks of night shifts to fourteen weeks of night shifts (one in every three) a year.

Police officers routinely work two nights out of every six in their shift pattern, and they don't take industrial action about the detrimental effects on their life.

Everyone has kids and or life in general outside work, boo hoo it's still fantastically well paid.

This one isn't about money, apparently, but they do it so bleedin' often it's very hard to have any sympathy.
And no-one who earns £50k, with the number of days leave they get and hours they work, is being 'abused'

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I wouldn't want to be told off the bat without consultation that I'm going to be spending a third of my year working at night, but like you say I think the well of sympathy has long since dried up because of how often industrial action occurs.
I work in the public sector and am a member of Unison, but I always ask them to make sure I am not obliged to take industrial action if negotiations fail, because it achieves nothing.
Case in point there was going to be a strike over the failure of the government to offer more than 1% in pay rise, when they were holding out for 3%...but before the strike happened a compromise agreement of 2.3% was reached. I happen to think the RMT and Aslef have made too much of a rod for their own back by being so militant.

[Letters]

I'm not a member of our union (also public sector) because no one gives a monkeys if we're at work or not so the occasional strike makes no difference. I was pleased to see in the budget we're getting 1% rises for the next 4 years :partytime:

[Syn]

They strike because they know they're needed. Even though they're incredibly well paid, they know everyone needs to get to work in the morning. Doctors and nurses in the NHS are also needed. If they strike, people die - so they don't strike because they have a shred of decency.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I only belong to a Union for individual assistance when tackling issues with my employers.

Like I say industrial action is the last refuge of the scoundrel

Is that technically still a pay cut though or is that in line with inflation?

[Letters]

Inflation is pretty low right now, but on the back of 0% or 1% rises over the last 4 years, it is starting to bite with some people.

[Niall_Quinn]

The PUBLISHED rate of inflation is low. Real inflation (the money supply) is rampant as usual, completely out of control and heading for the next meltdown. It's impossible for it not to be given the way the money supply works.

Well it was 20p in 1970 for the same product. So either demand has shot through the roof during a sustained period of a lack of supply, or somebody somewhere is devaluing the currency.

But to answer your observation, my own economic opinions would fall in almost exact opposition to Friedman. He primarily measured bullshit, although to be fair he did it in great detail and as far as bullshit goes his methods for quantifying it still stand.

Run two browsers - the default for the safe stuff and leave the history in place as it will tally on the server end. The config up the other browser for extreme privacy and auto-deletion of everything on close. Now you don't have to clear anything and the secondary browser looks like you never use it.

Also use AdBlock Plus and Disconnect - in combination they are a knockout for shitty data thieving sites like 99% of the sites out there. And you can also use one of the many SSL force plugins to encrypt data so fuckheads would have to spend time breaking the decryption only to find a normal browsing history and a blank on the other browser.

Chrome suck huge for privacy so use that as your default. Makes you look like a gullible idiot, which is what you want if you are seriously trying to protect privacy and data.

Firefox is super strong on privacy if you configure it right, so that's your secondary browser.

And if you are really paranoid, run the secondary through Tor, which has been cracked but unless you are up to some serious shit that makes no difference as the wankers won't bother with small fry.

Oh balls and arse, I'm going to sunny (pah) Mansfield that day where MrsL's grannie and her (mad, frankly) family live.

Not sure what time we're leaving but probably too early to meet.
Why do we have to see that lot all the time? They're all mental. On her dad's side they're all much nicer (and that's the side with the ridiculously hot cousin) and we pretty much nver see them.

After the weekend fiasco with BT, I found out my contract runs out with them today :lol:

Who's the best provider to go with these days.

I want fibre-optic, don't really care about TV as don't watch enough....unless there is something amazing I'm missing by not having a TV package...

Any ideas?

[Syn]

EE. Best speeds. Would help if you get a mobile contract with them too, but reliable super quality for home broadband. But they're about to be bought out by BT anyway, apparently.

BT are taking over the world, can't escape it.

BT's broadband is at least twice as good as anything else out there, apart from the stuff that relies on BT anyway. Infinity actually delivers it's stated bandwidth and for me in a year it literally hasn't missed a beat. Literally, not one second of downtime and never an occasion where it has dropped below the stated bandwidth. They have just increased the upload speeds as well and even though it's rare to get the full 19MB, I'm now getting 14MB reliably.

The other providers (tried them all) will claim all sorts of speeds, 100MB, 200MB, silly, silly. They'll actually deliver half or a quarter that and some of them like Virgin rarely manage above 2MB in congested areas.

You'd be mad to quit BT. You know me, I hate all corporations. But this lot deliver.

BT Sport - well that's a different thing. That has Michael Owen on it, for a start. Still no reason to cut off your nose though.
