    Penning up tool checks.....

    Tool control is part of the whole Safety Process and no less important than any other step. Therefore it should be treated with the same seriousness as penning up any other stage. 5 on the trot seems too many to be the same mistake. Therefore I would expect the person involved to be subject to a...

    ID them, try them and boot them out, including those who stood by and didn't stop it

    AFPS 75 & 55th Birthday

    Esteemed Goaters, This month is my payrise for continuing to wake up. Thing is my pension date is 10 days after my birthday, will my March figure be uplifted to the new number, will it be a pro rata uplift or will it not come till April? I'm not worried about the numbers unless someone...

    More reductions

    Spot on. It's never levelling up, always a race to the bottom. As for ceremonial, why not a dedicated organisation for these roles leaving the military to do their stuff? Think MPGS / Beefeater lovechild.

    Demise of the Harrier

    Of course it was financial, there were cuts to be made. Cutting an entire type saved the cost of a full support chain, not just the squadrons and ultimately it protected more RAF roles than otherwise might have been cut too. I believe the Navy was offered the opportunity to take on the cost...

    Corona virus

    Times one? Yes I have. When you examine their timelines it's a mess but it does make a good headline. If you don't like the messenger fair enough but you hardly refuted his assessment of it. ps his name is Maajid Nawaz, makes me think you didn't pay attention to his rebuttal. As I said, he's...

    Corona virus

    Here's someone who doesn't believe the Times, give it a listen. The bloke is no Tory supporter. I'm surprised that you would take a Murdoch journal at face value. If you use their own headlines and reporting you can pull most of the report apart .

    Interviews

    I've just started being part of an interview panel and there has been one or two things that struck me very forcefully people should always do and remember. For some this is a bit noddy but I promise it can make the difference between getting a job offer and not. 1. Don't lie on your CV, if...

    Firefox using too much memory

    I'm running the latest firefox and am having an issue with it, the problem is the longer I use it the more memory it gobbles up and eventually the computer slows down to a very slow crawl and the only way to get out of it is via task manager and "end process" The attachment shows my task...

    Read the full article. We're doomed!

    Well you are to be precise, I'll be Mr Insty by then. Let's disband the RAF I know these stories have been bandied around on forums as banter before, but considering the current budget deficit and the amount of cuts in public spending we know are coming, anything is possible. Purple uniform...

    F3 Going soon?

    Just seen on PPrune that there is a strong rumour that the F3 will be gone (virtually) by the end of the year. See here and This spotters site Is there any truth in this? All was fine when I left work last night and we are usually told about this sort of thing.

    Sea Levels not rising

    Living in Norfolk I tend to pay a lot of attention to sea level stories! It would seem we're being fed lies by the "experts" Telegraph article. What else are they lying about?

    Home entertainment!

    Is it feasible to build a pc that will play blu-ray and provide audio for both the blu-ray and sky box on a 1080p screen? I have no idea what I need, I know it can be done but is it worth it? The prime purpose would be sound and vision but it would be networked and fully functional as a home...
