Looks like your glass is always half emptyOriginally posted by unemployed View PostConsidering all you have offered up is the climate is warm how can I assume it is anything other.
Magaluf was 30c but not great I prefer the rain anyways.
Jetting off to a tropical island later.
Hope today's episode of JK is a good one and the JSA peeps don't cause you too much pain.
Maybe, a little lube will help

To be fair it's far easier to go on Google and download some pictures of a destination I am interested in and just whack the heating up.Originally posted by MrMarkyMark View PostEnjoy your Ryan Air holiday, just remember to budget budget over £50, the extras are you killer, so I've heard.
Sunnies on you would barely tell the difference.
I guess my bragging rights would falter though but then buying a plane ticket is hardly anything to shout about

Originally posted by unemployed View PostHaving been in 2nd line support off and on from 1998 onwards I am finding it hard to believe that contract rates aren't any higher than year 2000 and permanent is no higher either. Having been offered a support role for 30k in 2001 I am astounded that simple inflation has not increased these same jobs to around the 45k mark. I regularly get emails and calls for the same 30k figure or less. Funny that putting a roof over your head in 2000 would cost you 150k but now it's 500k. Where does it give???

Jobs a job means to a end it gives me no pleasure, but you are missing the pointOriginally posted by MarillionFan View PostWow. Support for almost 20 years. Ambassador, you're really spoiling us with your skills.
Why are jobs paying the same 15 years later regardless of skillsComment

It's a fair question. It took me around ten years in this country to get to the salary I was making in the States when I emigrated; I've only surpassed it in the last few years. Probably the Bank of England are geniuses who've kept inflation under control and the already high prices here means nothing needed to change?Originally posted by unemployed View PostJobs a job means to a end it gives me no pleasure, but you are missing the point
