however just how many of the degrees are any use ?

.

I am inclined to agree with you. If you want to go into teaching, or further research, yeah, go to Uni. But these days, the reality is people are getting degrees, are in thousands of pounds of debt, and come out to no employment anyway!!

I think one thing DavCam has said that is right is getting those who claim unemployment benefits to do 'volunteer' work, this way they get experiance and reduce the amount of money councils need to spend... however he got the amount of time wrong...

Ahhh, slave labour. Why should councils pay employees to work when you can sack them then get them back as unemployed 'volunteering' jobseekers to do the same job for free? Reduces costs coz slave labour is free. The Tories never cease to amaze me.

Or have minor criminals do it like they do in some cases...

Start movement! "If VAT goes up on Jan 4th +foul weather and poor sales: terrible double dip implications: POSTPONE VAT rise: Sense? RETWEET!

oh dear a double dip recession.

Max Keiser has been on about this for months !

Obama has screwed it up, he wanted China to revalue their currency;

when we (other countries) buy stuff from China with Sterling (example), the Chinese keep the Sterling & don't recirculate it like we do when other countries buy stuff from us (UK) so China has billions maybe trillions of foreign currency, so anyway Obama didn't want this, so the Chineas decided in the end to move towards what Obama wanted, & do you know what they did with all these dollars, pounds & euro's ;)

they started buying gold, silver, diamonds & other precious commodities, thus forcing up the price of gold etc but at the same time de-valuing the dollar etc :giggle:

the VAT rise is NOT going to make any difference !

do not take any notice of what the office of fiscal studies, or whatever that new government set-up, they are LIEING to you.

I don't believe any shops should be closed or shorter opening hours over the next few days.

We live in a 24/7 society and it astounds me that as a nation we close down because of a religious thing. I am more than happy to be an athiest and my life is just fine without having religion in it, yet every year it is forced upon those of us who are athiest or believe in other religions which don't celebrate christmas. I have yet to experience any other religion/faith/belief which takes over in the way christmas does.

If people wanna call me scrooge or bah humbug thats their choice, I just really can't stand this time of year. Fortunately this year it falls on a weekend so I shall finish up tomorrow and be back at work on monday morning just like every other week of the year.

I agree 100% + with you!! I can't stand this time of year either. Well, the middle of it isn't so bad, I find. ... the between Xmas and New year, but the actual specific 2 days I cannot stand. And, like you, I actually wanna go out on Saturday to the shops, and I can't. I have managed to lie to family and say I am going elsewhere, but I am not!!

I have rented a horror movie this Xmas, which should go nicely with my vodka and cranberry drink.

Maybe in this country it does, and the US, but I will bet there are countries in the Middle East that get just as 'taken over' during Ramadan and such, and it will be some of the same ones that don't get taken over by Christmas.

I was referring to what happens in this country. I'm well aware there will be other countries which are taken over by religious events, and yes those will almost certainly be in the Middle East. However what goes on there doesnt concern me and to be honest I think people in that country will take the religious element of it far more seriously. Christmas is supposed to be all about Jesus and all that stuff, but I'm willing to bet less than half of all those who celebrate it are actually religious.

Christmas is a bit of a joke really, people just use it as an excuse to throw parties and get wasted and it turns into a competition to see who spends the most on people or who can be the best host to friends and family. All it really does now is cost people money and generate a lot of hassle and mess.

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
