    Unbloomingbelievable.

    Maybe it's karma?

    Nigel Farage phone hacking

    All political parties try to 'create politics' out of things that occur within other parties inc. of things involving their leaders.

    The End Of UK/Civilised Society

    I've said before, maybe it's karma?

    A waste of life

    QT last night was an AI special. Quite interesting hearing the different views. One guy in the audience had studied software engineering (or something like that) however was finding it nigh on impossible to gain an entry level position as an increasing number of companies are using AI for...

    Roads that give cyclists priority.

    Eh? What?!? Are you trolling? Little hint for you, a little tip. Check the title this section of the forum has ;)

    You're right, the rubbish DM the only place to report on this! How very dare they. https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/englands-first-cycle-street-bikes-34025896 https://www.localgov.co.uk/Englands-first-cycle-street-opens-in-Cambridge/64429...

    A waste of life

    Agreed. I'm not referring so much to the emotional side, just the practicalities and reality of it all. It will become even more difficult to navigate due to AI. e.g. someone is entering into 3,4,5 years of study in a particular field. However another question in the mix is 'to what extent...

    A waste of life

    I think part of the challenge is, even more so in todays world, obtaining a degree in whatever subject doesn't afford you the right to a job/career in that specific field, or even a linked field. Hopefully, if it's a valuable degree, it will help the person now or in the future in terms of...

    What are your thoughts on this? Would you like to see them in your area? Should it become the norm where possible? https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15852919/Englands-cycle-street-bike-loving-Cambridge-despite-complaints-residents-motorists.html

    A waste of life

    What I love about YT is the way I can tailor my viewing to whatever I want to watch at any given time. e.g. I might watch a guy painting a door, then watch someone reviewing a car, then watch someone trying to revive a truck that hasn't moved for 30 years, then watch a lady trying on bikinis...

    A waste of life

    And because of this, many companies are making prospective employees jump through hoops as part of the recruitment process, often for relatively low level basic positions. As for jobs like casual bar work, as I touched on earlier, this is becoming increasingly difficult for employers (that do...

    A waste of life

    There are less such jobs. And where they do exist, it's becoming increasingly difficult for small businesses to employ younger folk due to increased wages, workplace legislation etc.

    A waste of life

    Nope, can't explain it. On the one hand, we have British people of all ages unemployed, on benefits long term etc. On the other hand, we have politicians telling us these migrants should be allowed to enter the workforce, so they're contributing. Eh? So we have home grown Brits sitting on the...

    A waste of life

    If the experts are to be believed, AI is going to be as significant a change (if not more) than the industrial revolution. When it comes to jobs/careers, times they are a changing sure enough. It's a very complex multi-faceted issue. When it comes to youngsters getting their first job...

    'Shocking' rise in school suspensions for racist, ableist and homophobic abuse

    Not allowed to do this, however what should happen is this. Head teacher at assembly, start of every school session. Right, listen you little ****ers, if any of you, ANY OF YOU, are even thinking about bullying other pupils, know this. I WILL COME DOWN ON YOU LIKE THE PROVERBIAL TON OF...
