It's like you've read my comments from the big breach. The corporate dance is what it is... Get to the top and you'll never fall, only move laterally in times of crises, with a nice severance package.
However, as she's well connected, she'll get some position worthy of her previous level...
100K really? Is TalkTalk run by one guy in his basement? It might hurt him, but a large company? C'mon!
I bet a company like this can make 100k in interest just for cash in the bank... Where's the punishment?
I have to doubt this fine won't even get paid... Taxes, losses, poor book keeping, deferment, promises, favors.
pedant as he's befuddled too...
If so, keep them coming... Madlibs for IT!! However, reality is stranger than fiction. Think of all the people who became eccentric after becoming extremely rich. What we just read could have happened. Just google 'people who became rich and then became eccentric' It was odd that Michael Jackson wasn't mentioned in any lists, which is what I thought of at the bit about flying chimpanzee...
Actually the politicians who have proposed this aren't getting "greased" enough, that is why they are proposing this kind of legislature. They make a good show (read big deal) now, and the lobbyists will be at their door painting their street gold in no time.
It's the old game of "dat's a nice thing you got going there.... would be a shame if something should happen to it..."
I've heard it both ways, and another interesting addition of just a few drops of water. Something reacting something... I'm no chemist.
Scotch on the rocks is for people who drink it a lot and a lot of it. I prefer only one per evening. Just like only one glass of Champagne... Too much of a good thing ruins it..
As a Netherlands resident, I have heard strange stories about banks doing x or saying y when it comes to creating accounts, usually for Non-EU citizens, but this one is a bit over the top. Health insurance is mandatory in NL and I don't think it just gets cut off by your employer effective immediately as YOU the insured have to pay for a substantial duration (3 months?) at the beginning.
In the Netherlands it's not about being told "no" but about asking the question differently to get to 'Ja'
1. The contractor/vendor the project is outsourced to has too many layers manglement for the blame of to reach anybody that gives a shit or is affected by a black mark.
2. The company/organization does not know what they should ask for until the project is well underway and changes cost time and money. As well as grey or loss of hair...
They are wasting time on this kind of frippery? Killinois hasn't had a working budget for going on 3-4 years, and they keep on with bills like this?
Disclaimer I'm originally from Smelliois and this bill is destined to create more issues that it solves. I see another avenue for corruption to reign supreme here...
"modern" "connected TV" ?!?
I might just be on my last TV, I don't need\want\care for an internet connected TV. I only watch one show on TV, and it can be easily had via different avenues. I may be opting for a projector and a simple computer to drive it for other viewing options.
Paris as this seems to be a no brainer ;-}
