    In Cheltenham perchance?

    why bother the whole point of CUK is to regurgatate (sp!) the same all b0ll0cks on a regular basis so the usual suspects can throw childish insults at each other

    probably

    Might do, might not.

    It might be different these days, with the new agency, but in the past some didn't trust each other to do a proper check. Every time I've had it (apart from the first), it's needed to be started again because they couldn't rely on the previous organization to do it "right" (or meet their standards, or some such).

    I spent three months reading the Oracle manuals once

    Eventually, I got a machine with no access to anything, so I spent the time setting my own Sudoku's in Excel
