Computer industry 'faces crisis'

[AtW]

there are a lack of skilled politicians in the UK, therefore, we should immediately encourage people from other countries

I may put up myself for General Election in a decade or so...

I can remember the terror we all felt when it was announced...

Not.

I too remember laughing out loud, also realising that if even the BBC was taken in by that obvious nonsense there was lots of potential in IT consulting.

And wunnerful dinners that no one in their right mind would want to attend.

My sister went to a BCS dinner a couple of weeks ago & was bored tulipless...

Food was ok though...

Wouldn't bother with 'em.

Went to the itSMF conference last week where people were still getting sh1tfaced and dancing on tables at 2.00am.

Some delegates didn't even bother going to bed, just packed their bags and went home drunk (trains are great modes of transport...).

Food was good and there was as much wine as you could consume (which was needed as G&T's were over £6 a go - they'll be cheaper next year as it's back to Brighton).

Oh, and the conference itself was pretty good too...
