morning all, sorry Onesie, Benny & anyone else getting shafted by The Man I would employ you all but I expect none of you want to travel to London and the writing might be on the wall for me as well... I myself have an application in waiting for a job I desperately want, as is always the case, it's the first one I've been in for for ages and I'm actually completely qualified to do it and a brilliant choice for it... guaranteed to not get an interview then! I guess that only time will tell for all of us, but worrying yourself sick about something should be reserved for football matches we can do nothing about... work is easy, get something else to do for someone else or do it yourself and let someone else pay you. BTW, Onesie, there are shítloads of IT jobs around, have a look, you might be pleasantly surprised. I see Rodriguez is being targeted by Everton & Fulham as well as us, shame we couldn't prise him away last year because I think we may be outbid in the wages department this time round? What play-offs? The problem is I'm not actually qualified to do what I do, I've been here so long that I've just evolved with the job.

Most recruiters worth a toss will massively prioritize experience over qualifications when looking for candidates - and if you get through the door and into an interview you'll waltz it with all your 'relevant examples' which you're able to give.

Is this a trick question? Its a bike with one fixed gear. Yes, its commonly deployed by the hipper communities of cyclists. Is this a trick concept?! So shit bikes are now cooler than good ones, is that the idea?! You gotta be some right cont to fall for that level of marketing bollocks, shureley? *never-on-trend-question* FFS, that makes me almost as cross as the bit on the news this morning about the new trend for revealing-the-sex-of-your-baby-parties" (complete with colour-themed cake where you cut into it to reveal the sex FFS). feck I despair of people sometimes, I'm off to join those Afgan fellers. I suppose they were favoured in cities because with a road bike you don't need any gears. Couriers use them because they arelighter and there are fewer parts to go wrong... suppose the trend emerged for these reasons. And you can get some sexy f*cking fixed gear bikes. I can't even afford go on a Boris bike at the moment though so.... meh.

Mind you I'm strongly not convinced by bikes in London anyway, all my mates who cycle in Town have had many injuries, and at least one long hospital stay*. Too many nutters in town to take the risk IMO.

Morning you rhino horns,
I can echo the general mood in here. I’m getting smashed at work. I’m having to do my day job while documenting everything I’ve ever done in pigeon English so idiots can attempt to do it when I’m gone. AND I’ve just realised my Groupon for a bonkers Russian restaurant has expired! Forgot I had it dint ah. bankér.
Oh and I’ve got the most stubborn banana EVER. I CANNOT get in the yellowy phallic basturd.

Just find out all the current phraseology to explain what you do and put it in your CV, it doesn't matter that you don't have the qualifications if you know what you're doing and there is a shed load of work available in your field at the moment ;D
