If were going down the relativistic aging song route then may i proffer "39" by Queen. Fantastic little tune.

FAIL

"If this saves millions and allows us to pay nurses more, buy more MRI scanners and get 7 day a week GPs, AND THE DATA IS KEPT IN THE UK then i'm all for it".

FTFY.

It will inevitably cost more long term as we are paying for a service which we no longer control.

Doesnt GDPR have any affect on this? Or are governments exempt.

Comment 1 gets it.

Just don't send him. Prosecute here for the crimes committed and sentence appropriately. The U.S. Justice system just isn't fit for purpose, and we shouldn't be sending any British citizen there EVER!

Tier 3 Waffle

"It's tier-3 Cortexiphan we're looking at so obviously it's topology redundant with multiple backchannels and has the full dual Dunham processor architecture behind it. With a 2 Teraflop Bishop Gating protocol, obviously."

Oh how i wish i could come up with this level of tier 3 bullshine during some meetings. Loved it.

BT set to undercut rivals with return to mobile biz

ive been a 3 user for a few years and they have their packages absolutely bang on. Truly unlimited data, i have often used it as a broadband source when my BT line goes wobbly.

As already mentioned, data roaming up to 25GB in lots of other countries and 4G all over the place in the UK too. I really loathe BT especially their insistence on line rental. absolute CON.

Tandy Goes Bandy

A long long time ago in a retail universe far far removed from the one we currently reside in I used to be the manager for one of its stores. Prior to that a loyal customer for everything from Batteries to Ghetto Blasters via all kinds of components.

I fear that the force is not strong with this one.
