Ah - I'm slightly misaligned with you Dave as I never have and never will vote Labour after the way that I feel they messed up the economy starting with Harold Wilson (from whom I received my degree - he was Chancellor of Bradford University). However that does not mean that I am against social justice and sustainability. A good employer looks after his main asset which is his staff (unfortunately employers like that are few and far between, particularly the multinationals). No one pays an employee more than the employee makes for the company - that's just good business sense. What is more important is that the employer gives the employees an equitable share of the profits and engenders an environment where the employee feels at home and empowered to achieve. There was a guy called Robert Townsend who wrote a book called (I think) 'Up the Organisation'. He was quite famous for turinng the fortunes of Hertz Rent a car around and making it the second largest Car Rental company in the world. It propounded much wisdom about HR and Bean Counters (get rid of them!) and emphasised the importance of making staff feel a part of the business. Altogether a good read.

You would get my vote.

Good morning all
I had better not get into any discussion about politics .I well remember the unions holding the country to ransom in the late 60s and have been anti union ever since. my politics is somewhat to the right of Ghengis Khan

Good morning everyone.



All this talk of Gengis Khan reminds me that Douglas Adams describes Mr. L. Prosser (a council worker tasked with demolishing Arthur Dent's Home) was a direct blood descendent of Genghis. A later DNA study some university (forget which) found that about 10% of the population of Europe have Mongolian blood. Silly I know but it was a published paper.

Made a big, big mistake on Thursday by adding FAAH Phase 2 to my projects, hence a large fall in points earned, runtime and results. Have now removed this science (should still get silver badge).

Good Morning Team.

Dave and domonijo there is no PV for FAAH2 so that as soon as a WU finishes the points are granted. There is a short term apparent reduction in performance and then it all comes back. FAAH2 is a bit of a thug though and sometimes hogs your output for a day or so while the short return time WUs process. It is about 133 points / h compared with OET at 179 (at least on my machines anyway). Still I managed to get my Diamond 5 so now I am concentrating on ZIKA and HSTB to get them (eventually) to Diamond status too (yes I am a badge freak!)
