    Cryptocurrency

    An interesting bubble but I am not impressed by it. Permit me to take a step back for an over-simplified and historical wide-angle view. Humans started off bartering (goods/skills/time). After trade became more developed, various things were used as currency, ranging from salt to gold. Fast...

    Turning up to an Interview on a Motorcycle

    I've done this a few times. One gig, the interviewer was done chatting about work after 15 minutes and spent 30 minutes chatting about bikes/racing. I got a phone call with an offer after 2 hours.

    Contract hunt advice

    Agreed. The more in the war chest, the better. After a few months on the bench, even the clueless/gigless me managed to secure a short term easy project (which I am sure the cynical regulars will take great delight in mocking me for).

    New to Contracting - Did I jump in too soon?

    Jazz up the cv and LinkedIn. Never stop looking. Build up a network of contacts. And don't take my advice. It's usually wrong according to other form members. :smile

    Carpy website

    He has a point. With bus lanes in London going across minor roads, cars turning left are supposed to wait for a gap in traffic in the bus lane. A car will see a bus as traffic, but a cyclist or a motorcycle is not regarded as traffic. When I'm on the motorcycle, I just exercise extreme caution.

    Carpy website

    Erm. Oncoming traffic always has right of way if you're turning right. If the roads are to be made safer, especially in London, anybody driving private-hire or Uber should be machine-gunned to death on sight. Simple enough.

    And you wonder why Talk Talk got hacked

    I have always put the ISP router to one side after setup and used my own.
