idiot MOD procurement indicicative of government procurement in general

if I an ordinary citizen can pickup that bulb for 55p at my local tescos, what the hell do the MOD think theyre doing paying £22.00 of my taxpayers money for it ? fing assholes.

this country is riddled with idiocy by commitee.

I swear to god some peoples graves will need to be behind security doors

I swear to god some peoples graves need to be behind security doors.

margeret thatchers for instance is going to get desecrated in my opinion not long after shes laid to rest. she had to many detractors in her career and left to many disgruntled people and broken culture in her wake.

government spending 17 billion a year on IT spending ?

government spending 17 billion a year on IT spending ?

17 billion a year ? with 5.8 million public sector workers ? probably higher depends on how that is measured ? that means the uk tax paying population spent £2931.00 on every public sector employee to provide them with technology per year ? this is obscene !

“the cost of a single Department of Health contract with Microsoft had been negotiated down from £82m to £8m during the process.” wtf ! this is why having our own software and It industry was an imperative and why margaret thatcher destroyed that future with her ignorance , leaving us at the mercy of american corporations ?

US v UK mac pro 4 core refurbished price differential

lets ignore new and just look at what 4 core refurbished macpros cost between US and UK.

4 core nehalem 2.66 macpro US refurbished :
2,039.00 USD = 1,254.63 GBP

4 core nehalem 2.88 macpro UK refurbished :
1,735.00 GBP = 2,819.58 USD

these machines are completely out of whack ? both in the US and the UK theyre pricing themselves too high but the translation in price across the pond is just nuts, they need to make a cheaper case design, and start putting something other than xeons in these machines, because these are not recession linked mac desktops ?

its like £480 cheaper in the states and thats refurb and its still 1735 pounds for a base machine ? i swear theyre trying to kill the macpro line off buy making it too expensive ?

uk price new :
base price for the cheapest 4 core new macpro based on old nehalem 2.8ghz £2,041.00 !!!!!
for a 4 core westmere £2,859.00 !!! wtf !

us price new :
base price for the cheapest 4 core new macpro based on old nehalem 2.8ghz $2,499.00
for a 4 core westmere $3,499.00 !!! wtf !

aigh dunno buying a desktop mac is now out of most peoples league. steve get a grip you to ives.

galliano : i bet he stumbled when he got up from that table

Well its not a security camera, the camera quite obviously belongs to those who he said this rubbish to ? man if you ever need any evidence as to why not to drink and interact with people when darkly drunk and messed up which galliano quite obviously is here ? this is it. Galliano is providing a clear demonstration of how terrible someone looks and in this case sounds when drunk.

they were trying to ilicit something with “are you blonde”, theres a prior to this conversation weve all missed, as they must have switched their camera phone on belatedly. As soon as they realised what dynamite drivel was pouring from his mouth, they certainly seem to be enjoying filiming him make an idiot of himself. to be honest this drunken rubbish is going to ruin his career, but he doesnt look like hes enjoying it much anymore, he truly needs to go for a very long walk.

gender and equality, insurance flipside hohoho!

gender and equality filipside hohoho!

now the insurers must be thinking wait a minute if we cant prejudicially discriminate against greater risk ? then all premiums will end up being the same ? is not youth being charged more, age discrimination ? where do we go when no-one is allowed any form of or any kind of prejudice, this is where people don’t understand discrimination there is a difference between unwarranted prejudice and something that statistics actually provably bear out as being true, now the actuarys arent even allowed to do their jobs because of EU insanity hehehehe :) its a funny old world. as a bloke its of benefit to me but seriously this is ridiculous that were not even allowed to operate on the basis of the truth ? but thats where all this over PC legislation gets you, the worship of falsitys for the sake of not offending anyone hehehe.

macpro rules … NOT !

re some apple fanboy

hmm you trolling or what, ive been using macs since the day of the Apple II . the Mac pro is the most expensive least upgradeable computer in the world ? powerfull most certainly, but server level processors make it inordinately expensive, and why dont you just throw in a new graphics card in a mac pro, oh sorry thats extremely unlikely to work ?, your power supply dies, well thats not standard and a total **** to swap over oh well, upgrade cooling and overclocking? no, hackintoshs are more practical, ask my £2500 dual G5 that dies for no good reaon after 3 years and is too expensive repair, i suggest you go poor more money into steves account because he loves apple fanboys like you, he pats you on the head and unzips his fly.

RAISE interest RATES fuckers, the house owning set, desperate to cover arse and keep their greedy gains

unwelcome ? according to the bbc one more minister thinks a rate rise is necessary.

rate rise unwelcome ? to the house owning set maybe ? every fucker who can’t afford a house is begging for interest rate rises and a crash to correct the last 15 years of government encouraged greed that has made the multiple house owning set a super wealthy elite at the expense of those who don’t own a home of their own to live in, this is now the divide in society. Also a rate rise would benefit those whose savings in the bank savings account get interest of 1.5% or worse ? and who’s money is constantly devaluing due to inflation rising faster than savings can repair it ? secondarily this devaluing in wealth is not aided by the governments profligate public finances which spell “public finance bankruptcy” whilst they still burn tax revenues paying for a bloated welfare system, so that this false economy means are actual currency is devaluing anyone’s saving. The problem Continue reading

HS2 debate

btw I once worked on promotional material for UKultraspeed a maglev solution slightly quieter no rail friction, one of the many variations on this high speed train theme, these projects are old ideas, statistics can be easily manipulated, what you have to remember is the public is now ultra cynical because of the number overpriced disasters theyve been lumbered into paying for, london tube improvements for instance ?! between now and eternity that have gone horribly over budget and delivered not enough value, hence national debt. True airplanes are more polluting and generally less efficient, putting anything in the air usually uses more energy, but Continue reading
