  1. Job Hunting

    There's more to working life than money. Once you reach a certain level more money doesn't make that much of a difference. I especially value a relaxed life more than the money. My boss has been away this week so I've been acting head of stats and all it has been is a ballache.
  2. Comic Book Discussion

    There is/was a ghost page for Dan Dare's last reply. Time to make a new thread.
  3. General Movie Thread

    99% dreadful, 0.99% mediocre, 0.01% good.
  4. General Movie Thread

    99% chance this will be dreadful.
  5. Comic Book Discussion

    There is an issue with its size. It's more like reading an Argos catalogue than a comic book.
  6. Comic Book Discussion

    Kinda uncool that I'm probably going to go from the bargain £25 compendium to having to spend like £45 to get the next three HCs. Still probably good value, but ... grumble grumble grumble.
  7. Comic Book Discussion

    This is a good decision. It starts out quite slow I think, but quickly picks up the pace. And don't become attached to anyone, they die frequently/all the time.
  8. Comic Book Discussion

    I just finished reading the walking dead compendium (issues 1-48). My goodness that is some bleak stuff. I was rushing the last few pages as I wanted to see a certain dude get his comeuppance. And he did, but the end hurt to read. Sad, sad times.
  9. The Android Thread

    Tried swype? I love it.
  10. Modern cartoons!

    Opinion of a 5 year old:
  11. good stuff thread.

    In my home town (Billingham) it's pretty much a 50/50 split between mum and mam, so when Ashley said the North he was right (about my town).
  12. bad stuff thread.

    She did not.
  13. Xpert 11 Season 19: Ally or Die

    I was so surprised at the outcome of today's match. My home advantage with BSO is pretty mint I reckon. Conversely my away power is cack.
  14. bad stuff thread.

    She was not.
  15. bad stuff thread.

    Head of stats had made up his mind this morning, so I was happy to roll with his decision. Going with dissertation girl. I am happy to put you all out of your misery.
  16. bad stuff thread.

    Not helping.
  17. bad stuff thread.

    Both are good to have. They really are so equal it's unreal. Maybe we should just pick the better-looking (they're both girls) to make the stats department prettier.
  18. Wooooaaah, I can see everything on your Facebook! Oh! That's right, we're friends.
  19. bad stuff thread.

    More presence; they have an air of confidence about them, so if they were to go into a meeting with a director/client and were to say something there would be power behind their words. They'd be more likely to be believed/followed. (LOL, sounds like something chair would write.) No chance of another round of interviews, so we've got to go on the information we have on them. We interview, then the head of operations interviews too. He said we can hire whichever we prefer and he will support that decision (i.e. he has no clue either). I suggested taking on both and he just looked at me like "dude ... no" but without words.
  20. bad stuff thread.

    One of the candidates put "traditional greek dancing" down as one of her interests. You may be onto something!
  21. bad stuff thread.

    A minor bad thing, but it's plaguing my mind. There is a dilemna (spellcheck says dilemma, but whatever) at work. We interviewed two MSc students today for the available statistician post. They are both great candidates. The unfortunate thing is that there isn't really anything to separate them. They are both really, really good. This has greatly confused the head of stats and myself. Both would be great to work with, both would do the work well, both were very bright. One had more presence, but the other had a dissertation more in line with our work. There is nothing to separate them. So confusing.
  22. Modern cartoons!

    Will my kids like the new My Little Pony stuff (5 & 2)? I'm kinda intrigued by it.
  23. What Have You Bought?

    I had a £5 off £20+ play voucher and I've been thinking about getting this for a while. £20.79 with the voucher - bargain!
  24. Xpert 11 Season 19: Ally or Die

    The team is screwed for the next match. Bad times.
  25. The Apple Thread

    Then you're no power user.
