    I have now moved to Malvern Link, to start work for these people www.quinetiq.com , well its just a GAP year placement, should be cool.

    Am sat on a Pipex 2 mb adsl connex atm, and it sucks. Bloody pipex. My NTL 1meg connex is faster than this.

    Ho hum.

    I tried to get a job at qinetiq, they turned me down because I didn't have a degree. How shallow, just becuse I am not a graduate doesn't make me incapable. The annoying thing is it didn't even have to be a specialist degree.

    And what do they want to pay a graduate?? 15k!!!! laughable!!!!

    Bring back DERA, they were not as jumped up.

    Oh, while you are there, keep ane eye out for me!!!!

    :worried:

    erm, the thing is...

    I think my years of IT experience would be wasted in that kind of job. And I know that Maplin wouldn't give a hoot about any personal development. They sucky sucky as an employer!

    Hmm where I am living there is almost bugger all in terms of electronics stores. Theres 2 VERY over priced computer stores a stone throw away, but one of them is run by a guy that would define a-hole.

    Ho hum, about Maplin ... why not order online ? or over the phone ?

    actually there is a guy in malvern (im not quite sure where) who used to sell reconditioned trinitrons really cheaply. a mate of my dad had a couple of him. might be good if you could find him
