@BrightonHoveCC You started the demolition phase of the project without locking in the cost of the works?
Pathetic.

How’s the King Alfred project going?
Madeira arches?
Redevelopment of the Steine?
For decades you have been presiding over the decay of the city I love.

@BrightonNewsJo That’s not my experience… The Pembroke conservation area has had about 5 more trees removed over the last couple of weeks adding to those taken out and never replaced in previous years.

Unpopular advice for junior engineers:

- Work in-person at a project-based consultancy (regardless of tech stack)
- Use open source, but do not try contributing
- Editor fiddling, vim, exotic terminals are a total waste of time
- Anything beyond "git 101" doesn't matter

@connorjd94 @Baddiel Be careful offering another man a hug in Qatar... could go badly for you.
Could go for a beer instead? Oh, actually that's not an option either...

[Andrew Hancox @andrewhancox]

. @Baddiel and @FrankOnTheRadio Could have SO easily used their Christmas World cup cash in as a platform to say something meaningful. Utter shills. Particularly shocking levels of hypocrisy from Baddiel. Football won't be coming home but neither will several thousand workers.

@jbthewealthman @HenryPryor The article ignores the fact that you’re paying down the loan at, what looks to me, £1k p/m, so even allowing for a massive future drop in house prices you’re substantial better off buying…

Looking forward to catching up with @moodle folk at #mootglobal22 - ping me a message if you want a coffee/beer/chat...

Good to see those struggling to get by on their 150k salary or 250k of company profits getting a much needed 5% or 6% tax cut on their top slice. Scum. RAISE THE PERSONAL ALLOWANCE, BASIC RATE AND TAX CREDITS.

Wise words from an OG freelancer...

@willguv Someone needs to do what you did for Drupal and local gov. for Moodle and LEAs, NHS, CS etc. - would love to talk more…

A lot of Tory MPs said they'd wait for the local elections, police & Sue Grey enquiry.
Well lads, they're all in and it ain't gone great.

@nikhil_woodruff @paulwaugh @ThePolicyEngine Would love to see the same graph for those who’s income comes via dividends…

@thecharlieb81 People also miss the additional cost of state school places for the parents who either cannot afford the extra 20% or whose schools would fail under the extra tax burden.

@jot https://t.co/cu2BhAINi7 - See their current and former directors plus their previous directorships and age - sometimes including home addresses, some form of accounts - depending on the company size. Tells you a LOT for free.

[Andrew Hancox @andrewhancox]

Had a great time presenting to the @moodleassoc sharing experiences delivering @moodle LMS's with multi-language content and cross language collaboration. Was good to show off some recent work with @moodlefairy and @jgramp at @moodleacademy

I want a movie where Batman takes on white collar crime. Just auditing dudes with his bat-culator, still wearing the whole suit.
