Considering that pay rises are linked to the RPI

And printing money --> inflation --> increased RPI --> increased pay in academia --> the opposite of what that Balls geezer said on the news this morning.

I know children that could do a better job of managing the economy than this bunch.

RPI is negative at the moment.

And there was no mention of pay rises at the VC's address this year.

He did venture the opinion that public sector pensions are dooooomed.

I have the same problem. I tried to teach myself Python but got bored and gave up because there was neither a customer nor a specific problem I needed to solve.

Yup.

My outings with dear old Charles Petzold usually end in much the same way.

I used VB to do the comms bit of the flashing lights machine coz it's easy.

Even I can do it, provided I can find my Idiot's Guide to VBx.
