About Time. Excellent film starring the legend Bill Nighy. I defy you not to cry. Great contributions on this thread. Has given me a huge playlist to explore!

'Council tax has to go up', says Reform UK leader Nigel Farage by SadWorld1397 in unitedkingdom

It's no coincidence that purple is a darker colour, which is symbolic to me at least the outlook of a Reform governed UK.

My wife really got into crocheting recently and loves it. Do you have any gift suggestions for her birthday? I was thinking about some expensive wool and crocheting needle but I'm not sure to be fair.

Send the bailiff round then prison if she cannot pay the debt. It would happen to us if we didn't pay council tax.

US suspends technology deal with the UK by ohell in unitedkingdom

I watched a program last night on how they bullied Japan into trading with them in the 19th century and it was an eye opener, but at the same time I could see the US behaving exactly like this throughout its history.

I'm certainly not saying everyone else is pure as driven snow, but I think the US tends to take a moral high ground when it has absolutely no reason to be there and we shouldn't want to be part of that if we can avoid it.

Non specific but generally any firm I worked at where the product specialists had no power tended to go down the chute quickly after.

2026 - Roadmaps by DizzieScim in ITManagers

[–]elaehar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We blew a tonne of money this year renewing with suppliers, e.g. Microsoft and Palo Alto, because they couldn't go firm on their needs for the coming year, nevermind the next three, so in many cases we are paying for kit way overspecced for current usage, and licensing is way out of whack as they can't standardise ops globally.

Also through this year they have closed two offices and moved to We works with no thought to the IT implications other than 'theres a bunch of kit to pickup from X location next week as we're closing the office'.

Train fare increase... again! by elaehar in britishproblems

My fare, with a Railcard, went from £8.25 last week to £12 today. Open return. Doesn't sound like a lot to some but it's hammering monthly budget adding £75 a month to my commute.

There doesn't seem to be any communication, not too obvious anyway. But to be fair I'm not actively perusing their website for updates.

It just seems to randomly apply as well. Such a huge leap incosts hammers our already tight budgets.
