BOFH

I wonder what the BOFH's opinion of this news is, as he's a big Irn-Bru fan

Second plastic notes in general circulation in Blighty

The Clydesdale Bank released a plastic fiver into circulation in march last year in Scotland. I've had a few of them. I know at one point they were selling on eBay for £100 each.

Not all security is like that, I'm not

I work in security at a major site that is on a uk list of sites that are high risk for a terriost attack to take place, because of the events we hold(think Paris attack last year or Brighton hotel bombing 1984 for the kind of site we are). We are told to keep a eye out for people taking photographs of the site, when we see someone we let control know and they'll let me know if they know about it or not. If they don't they'll put a camera on the person and ask me or one of the other guards to go and talk to the person. Once we've spoken to the person and got the information on what they're up to, control is informed and the person is told if they can continue or not. 99% of the time they're allowed to keep on taking photographs.

What am I missing

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see the difference between what Uber does and what my local private hire firm does with their app. I.e. Allow me to book and pay for a taxi through a app

That'll explain why my 3 payg is saying no access to network. My contract 3 sims are ok, just a bit slow in making calls

It sounds Good in theory

It sounds good, but only if it will switch the gps on when it's switched off

I wear glasses and don't wear another pair when I see 3d movies, I bought a clip on for my glasses, I think they were £3 or something like that

So if you leave Apple you're not allowed to work for another IT company then, or am I missing something.

off topic but does Judge Lucy Koh deal with anything other than cases involving Apple or is she Apple’s favourite judge

So let me get this right the last film he'll make will be a remake of The Tuskegee Airmen?

Ipod Touch

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the iPone just a iPod touch with 3g anyway? While the iPod Nano being something different

Cineworld

What I don't get was why wasn't he caught sooner as in Cineworld Glasgow(Renfrew Street) the staff use night vision goggles to check if anyone is filming in the cinema.

nice to know

Its nice to know it's not just me. I thought they'd cut me off again by mistake. I never bothered giving them a call as the last time I did I was called a liar by one of their call centre monkeys.

Me too as well

Its nice to know i'm not the only one having the problem, i thought it was just this stupid phone

I dont take them

I work on a bar in a concert venue and we've been told by the bar management only to take a valid passport or driving licences, but not id cards as they’re to east to forge.
