Forum
There was a time when this forum was rather useful. Now it's mostly people pasting news articles, for lack of intellect to enter the beginnings of imagining other things to do. Advice is negligible and the forum is the worse for it. I expect if some of us check back in a decade it'll be gone...- rogerfederer

minnie's Moroccan mega-marathon
Minstrone's misspelled, grammatically confusing posts resemble the phishing scams we all receive in our spam folders. All this thread has taught us is that horrible, mentally unstable individuals can apply for endurance sports - if he/they/she even did in the first place. Given the rest of his...- rogerfederer

minnie's Moroccan mega-marathon
You are such a backwards moron. You specifically added the word 'gay' because you find that funnier, thinking it makes the subsequently mentioned act automatically worse or more amusing. Because gay is funny, right? No. It's just another sexuality. If you genuinely don't see the issue with...- rogerfederer

New variant might not be any more transmissable
The main issue with people like Jayn200 is that there is such a issues with the foundation that the complex explanations needed to condemn the structure and accept a full rebuild is quite lengthy to be bothered with in a forum post. The genius of covid19 is that it takes two to four weeks to...- rogerfederer

Mutant Virus DOOM
The leading epidemiologists have stated the same as I did a few posts back. That's who I take guidance from. There are numerous mutations of covid19, how is it possible to tell what the virulence or illness severity is from just discovering a new strain? The epidemiologists say that it takes at...- rogerfederer

I am not ASSAS. He reeked of the stereotypical southerner who relished seeing people suffer, whilst assuming he was above them all. He's probably retired in Benidorm after a quadruple bypass.- rogerfederer

Mutant Virus DOOM
Very good point. Only Denmark and the UK, in Europe, have setup these higher capacity labs. It is statistically more likely that these labs will detect new covid19 variants, as they are testing significantly more for them in the first place. The Italian professor's comments are stupid.- rogerfederer

Mutant Virus DOOM
Quite the idiotic comment from the professor. Doctors I know have repeated that there are many variants of the virus. These are not "kept quiet" but are broadcast in the scientific communities. It just so happens that the other variants weren't as contagious as this new variant. In order to...- rogerfederer

House Price Crash
Again, who cares? The most important thing for permanent jobs and consideration thereof is AFTER tax. If anybody here is looking at permanent jobs, look only at the after tax amount you're getting and compare on this basis. Also expect an extra 10-15% tax on top given the current idiots...- rogerfederer

House Price Crash
What's the point in focusing on a sector that is officially on the skills shortage list? These jobs will naturally pay more. The fact they may pay more than other jobs doesn't mean they are paying fairly, given erosion of salary rises over the last few decades. The average 20something who is...- rogerfederer

Mutant Virus DOOM
What is being suggested in medical research circles is that it's possible to have a substantially different strain of covid19 a second or even third time. For most people their immune system will fight it off. However they do also shed the virus, but in lesser volumes. That being the case, I...- rogerfederer

Mutant Virus DOOM
I don't like this concentration on the Nightingale make-shift centres. They're hardly hospitals and, let's be realistic, if they were already filling up or full that would obviously be far too late in the calendar to be increasing restrictions. The more covid19 spreads in an area, the longer it...- rogerfederer

State of the Market
So you bought when prices were much lower in 2016. Across the UK 2012, 2013 and 2016 were the years to buy in the past decade. 2019 and 2020 definitely not the years to buy. "I did something four years ago and, without research, I could do the same now!" - great one PCTNN, any other worthwhile...- rogerfederer

US Cyber Attack
This is already covered in two threads: https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/general/141339-ultra-secure-cybersecurity-company-hacked.html You can find the other yourself. This thread title is incorrect. This is not a 'US Cyber Attack'. It affects customers of SolarWinds internationally...- rogerfederer

Ultra secure cybersecurity company hacked
Looks as if this is finally hitting the news, although it is absent from the UK sections and focuses on the USA. Thing is, UK public sector and private sector have SolarWinds used across a lot of important infrastructure, including in finance and in, what is deemed, 'critical infrastructure'...- rogerfederer
