Of course. We have rivers. On borders....

Finland will shortly be starting its long term solution with a deep geological repository.

There's about 500,000 tonnes of high-level nuclear waste. If all the world’s spent fuel were stacked together, it would fit on a single football field to a depth of around 4 metres. Compare with...

According to the Murdoch Times, free software is available for this purpose....

My gas supplier agrees the price a year in advance. I've time to save up for the increases.

What do we want?
More nukes.
When do we want them?
About 30 years ago......

I do my best.

I hear Tenerife is nice at this time of year....

Probably delayed because they waited for people to get through passport control....

Looks to me like the title of this thread should be "Lanzarote Airport ineptitude causes travellers to miss their flights". ...

They'll probably conscript people in their 50s to fight on the cyberwarfare front....

Send a photo. Seems a weird way to do it. You get your passport stamped by border guards, and then immediately groundcrew check your ticket and passport again before allowing you to board? Since the passengers were delayed at the first bit, it doesn't matter if the second bit is immediately after....

Fixed that for you. Even if the next bit after border control is directly the gate, the point still stands. But I've checked the airport plan. It isn't. Map of César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport | Aena...

They were quite literally late at the gate. You go through security, then border controls, then you go to the gate.

Ryanair closed the gate at the normal time. It's usual to close the gate 20-30 minutes before departure. They chose not to wait and you can argue about whether that was a...

Real contractors use their private plane.

But is this really a story? If you're late at the gate, you'll be left behind if the airline figures out it'll cost more to wait than to offload and just go. Waiting for you is great, not so great for any onward flights at the destination. ...

It was. And sadkingbilly is right. It's a cacophony. That's why I like it - utter chaos.

But a guy had a heart attack just after it all started at 4am on monday. A young lad I know was right next to him and looked after him until the ambulance arrived. Even with the crowds, it only took...

I know for sure that an Irish chap working for one of the big four was in a role supposed requiring clearance, and didn't have it.

It's just usual civil service incompentance and inertia - they just can't be bothered to fix it....

Hah. 18 expected here. Bright blue skies.

Just had my leave request refused for my colleagues funeral. Because it's paid leave.

ladymuck - fly to Basel and get the last hours of Fasnacht....

is telling your agency to get stuffed not an option? After all, they need you to generate their income.

Yes they might. But A, B and C are not going to reveal to you the details of their contracts with each other. Even if it potentially affects you.

Worst case, they terminate your employment, but you can't be sued, unless you are breaching a handcuff clause in your own contract of employ...

Rather complicated for something that begins "Basically". Not terribly coherent I'm afraid.

But from what I've managed to glean and assuming were talking about temporary PAYE, not going through an umbrella company or through your own ltd company.

You have worked for...

The King was not warned. Yeah, right!

The sentence for the crime is (up to) life imprisonment. Well at least he'd have somewhere to live.
