@TicketmasterCS I need to transfer some e-tickets for Daryl Hall in London tonight but the option is not available in the app - can someone help? Thanks

@Samfr To be fair, he's hardly the only member of this government who's years in high office have resulted in no actual achievements - and very often things getting appreciably worse.

@itvpeston @Moreincommon_ If nothing else, he's correctly identified that the country is shit at maths.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@faisalislam That's a bit rich considering that money has no intrinsic value.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Robbmik @Samfr I have worked for utterly useless managers who earn more than twice that.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Robbmik @Samfr If that is true then you are only going to attract joke candidates.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr But then I was working in academia which may have different scales.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr I would have said it was an 8 from my time in the Public Sector but perhaps things have moved on more than I thought...

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr I'm not sure this is true - it's about entry level, maybe a bit above unless you're a top top grad going into one of Apple/Google/Facebook/etc

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr I don't know why the title is so inflated and it is well below market rates - I would estimate it's about 2/3rds the going rate for that role - but it's not the complete joke it's being made out to be.

@Samfr Working in Cyber Security, I have seen much mirth about the Treasury (and a previous GCHQ) ad offering £57k for "Head of Cyber Security" but if you read the description it's for a fairly junior Team Lead.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr Well, they are trying to appeal to a certain demographic...

[DrT @moogmusic]

@OwenJones84 That seems much better than not winning the election because political reality has already intruded and history suggests they're the only two options.

@KatieJRogers @WOB74475098 @gayblackvet In fact it should be obvious - If you have 400 people and you shoot at least 1 everyday by the end of the year, you've shot everyone.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@KatieJRogers @WOB74475098 @gayblackvet The post says "And everyday, at least 1 person is shot." - why are you dividing by 365?

[DrT @moogmusic]

@WOB74475098 @gayblackvet It must be wrong - that would mean that everyday ~1 million people are shot in the US or on average everyone is shot every year.

Boris Johnson is forced by Charles Walker to distance himself from Jacob Rees-Mogg’s characterisation of the privileges committee as a “kangaroo court”. He says “I deprecate the term”

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr A situation made even worse by the new ability to salary-sacrifice up to £60k a year into your pension.

[DrT @moogmusic]

@Samfr This is not just an issue for parents - coupled with self-assessment and tax-free allowance clawback, earning over £100k is mad unless you can jump straight to about £150k.
