I’ve ordered some funky reading pince nez

I thought about putting this in the cockpunch thread., but as I don’t know enough about the Merseyrail dispute…
New contract day 6, and I still haven’t written a line of code.
Just had sprint planning. A lack of well-formed business stories, accompanied by a reluctance to spend on technical debt means no work.
Golly, that’s just a little bit familiar. The only difference being that I’ve doubled my take-home.
The wonders of the modern workplace.

One contract I did a few years ago, I started with five other contractors and we didn’t even get computers to work on for over two weeks and when we did it took another two weeks to get access rights to install Visual Studio and SQL Server.
Salad?
Seen from the other side this was the story of Mrs VB’s life when she was supervising contractors. Security were a law unto themselves - “The answer’s No, now what’s the question ?”. To be fair they were often working worryingly close to the live systems.

No quinoa. Couldn’t be a local.

Nutjob drives into a couple of people, then tried to enter the Palace of Westminster brandishing a knife. Shots fired.
Police calling it a “Terrorist Threat”. I stand to be corrected, but why ? It’s a loose cannon. Even if he’s got some sympathy for a terrorist agenda, he’s a knife carrying chancer who has tried to enter one of the heaviest security areas in the UK.
As soon as ANYTHING happens these days it’s a “terrorist threat”.
These statements just give fuel to REAL terrorists. Terrorists win AGAIN !!

If it’s a political act it’s terrorism. Simple.
It has another consequence… certain legal powers then become available.
The police do like to reinforce the word “criminals”, though, to remind people these arseholes are just bad.
Fake News
No doubt trump will be wringing ever last drop of this to get polices through.
Were they using laptops to run people over with? Ban them I say…
