What you doing this weekend?

I'm working tomorrow, but my new obsessive compulsive hobby of home brewing will get a look in at some point tomorrow night or Sunday - I've now got 160 pints bottled/kegged and will start fermenting another 80. I'm planning on organising a beer festival in my garage early February, after successfully completing dry January.

Also my youngest is 6 years old on Tuesday and I've bought him a PC, so I'll need to spend a decent part of Sunday installing pirated operating systems and games.

 

At the minute everyone is outsourcing to India for big projects because there are simply not enough programmers in Britain. When looking on NI job sites there are literally 300+ .NET jobs going in Belfast alone, if you know your way around code it's practically impossible to be unintentionally unemployed, or be paid below an average wage.

But you know how the job market moves, everyone who has a degree in Media Studies now works in Call Centres, and the likes of Driving Instructors were smug as **** a few years back - now every **** and their dog is qualified to teach you to drive. In 15 years after the EU expands again all the newly qualified coders will be put out of work by migrating Turks.

 

I'm actually in quite a cheery mood today!?

 

I hope to be further embedded as a member of the exploiter class by then, so I'm more likely to move there if there is still poor cheap Labour

Aye, mad football skills were the springboard for your general success in life I take it.
