Bring in the Conservative government
Lobby for an act to ban Firms using cheap off shore resource and use the existing UK skills market.
Not only would it solve a lot of our current unemployment and cultural issues but it would also make my works kitchen area a more pleasant place to be at lunchtime.

Can't construct a sentence. Repeats the same phrases to gain attention. Can't punctuate. Has no actual point to make.
Which is 19 words, and leaves me with one more word to summarise him:
Troll.

Originally posted by Francko View PostMmmmm not quite right. First I am on the warm part of Switzerland, the one where until two days ago it was sunny and 25 degrees, (oh and the most beautiful one too) and also because my posts have been achieved with consistency throughout a long period of time. Mind you I still made 90% of the posts in the UK still where not much effort was required.

Good contractors with skills always on a contract....
Milan - a mad man with no other knowledge but his own little SAP area- however is excellent in this - working abroad
BlasterBates - very sound contractor with a propension for doom - working abroad
Chef - a very reasoned person - working abroad
Darmstad - a very serious engineer (a bit too germanised though) - working abrod
Threaded - a genious with eccentric manners - working abroad
Pondlife - a great intellect mind with humour - working abroad
Now let's see who else is left working in UK:
AtW - a mad russian millionaire who will spend all his life chasing squirelles and his illusionary dream of becoming a famous software writer - working in UK
SallyAnne/CM - boozy girls who manage to stay sober only on wednesday - working in UK
SasGuru - a failed middle manager who cannot accept his total ineptitude as a technical person who has been tricked to accept that kind of job to do the least damage while he can keep wasting all his time posting here - working in UK
DodgyAgent - a sleazy business man who would sell all his family for a few quid in the pocket - working in UK
BrilloPad/Diver - comedy writers who are here only to pick up some ideas for their new shows - working in UK
DimPrawn - a wannabee millionaire whose paper fortune of luxury properties in Swindon, made in the dot com boom writing HTML pages, is falling apart - working in UK
Now which workforce would you want to run your country?

Ah classic. The world moves on, The UK will survive quite nicely, and even when the good times come around again, posters like this will *still* be doom and gloom.
Some ppl need to get out more, take a *real* close look at the world and realise that life doesn't get a whole lot better than you have it now.
'Failed State' LOL
