The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
I guess it all depends on whether your job role is defined as an IT role or not.
Despite spending 116% of my time developing databases and fraud detecting applications, my job isn't technically an IT role. I'm a functional specialist. So despite doing an IT development role for which I would get paid oodles, I'm doing a nice, cheap generic non-specific job.
So you don't fancy Bangalore then, Joe. I hear it has plenty of sun (in the dry season).
Our unions are making a huge fuss about this outsourcing to India thing. Possibly too huge. So far all we've moved are a few minor operations - by coincidence we closed down a call centre in Newcastle at around the same time. So the unions are jumping up and down saying that all the Newcastle jobs were moved to Bangalore. In actual fact, the Newcastle jobs were moved to Plymouth and some new jobs were set up in Bangalore doing completely different stuff.
The only place outside of Ireland where you can get genuine black and white stuff if somerset - thats because they can ship it, sell it and drink it within the 6 weeks before it goes off.
Everywhere else has preservatives added so it lasts longer but it ruins the taste and texture.
Am I sad for knowing that much about it? the votes are in and the answer is probably.
