    You are conjugating a verb in your example. Nowhere do I see any evidence that you are declining a noun.

    Honestly, Bogey, the youth of today, eh?

      Yes, if you insist on being thorough.

          Why do you think so much of the code produced by outsourcers is somewhat dodgy! The secret's out.

            Only showing you what's in the dictionary old chap. Are you sure you're not thinking of defraud?

              Do you think we should have some of those emoticon things with 'Grammar', 'Bollocks' on, as well as 'Spelling'?

                Sort of a modern day version of the reference for technically oriented roles.
                The problem with this database is that it doesn't proof anything but you've done it. Doesn't mean you're good at it. I've known developers who have been doing the same stuff for many years and still rubbish at what they're doing.

                I can't see any alternative but technical interview to filter out the nongs. I certainly would want to do a technical interview on new hires. The problem is not technical interview itself, but how to conduct the test.

                I've seen/heard some shocking ones but haven't had them personally myself.

                  I can't understand why the managers don't just get someone technically strong from their team to accompany them for the technical part of the interview and ask a few relevant technical questions

                  not fecking rocket science is it

                      That's what some do, but they see it as a challenge to look good, so come out with all sorts of obscure bollocks they've found on the internet.
