Good to know, any tips or things I should be aware of?

Usually you'll have a list of base technologies read up on all basic top 5 issues on them.

They also love a thought process so buzzwords are key, "root cause" "pairing" "knowledge shares" 99% of issues someone else will know use that and that proves you're a good solo and team player.

Main thing is just don't panic and if they ask something you don't know don't bullshit around just come out straight but also say next time you see me I will know it and sometimes after an interview I'll quickly Google find the correct process and email em show that you'll go away and research

That's an amazing tip

I wouldn't be a part of any elite club that would have me as a member.

Has anyone done a day long assessment centre type of interview? Had a Skype interview for the BT Technology Graduate Programme today, and assuming everything goes well they'll invite me for an assessment day, which I've never actually done before, so I'm curious to know what it's like.

A day long one sounds exhausting. I had to do one that lasted three hours or so for the placement I'm doing at the moment. There was a chance to chat with the current interns about what they were working on and then there two seperate interviews, one technical and the other more personal.

By day long, I mean one that started at 9:30 and lasted until at least 2pm (this was for a different company and I didn't actually end up going to the assessment day).

That emailing them with the correct process tip seems really useful, thanks!

Hey dude, how was your trip? Sorry we missed you at the meet, next one in June might be in Manc but I'll sort a mini London one.

Hey Mush, I'm good thanks, I'm drunk as a skunk at the moment.
Trip was good, a bit stressful at times but hey. I'm down for June. I should be around. Look forward to seeing you guys

 

[Little Old Man]

I highly recommend Jon Wick next time you guys go to the cinema. Fantastic and brutal action film!

Hey guys, just got back from Spain. What did I mis---

 

[Son Of D]

Been wanting to see that for the past few months but UK only getting it this month was stupid. Hoping to see that and Furious 7 over the next week.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

On my way to see 7 now, excited! I bloody love this franchise.

Also just saw 1st 2 eps of Daredevil, really liking it

 

[show me your skeleton]

britgaf is the bad continuity.

 

[Little Old Man]

Only just saw the drama on the last page. Pe old need to start using the ignore function in future.

In other news, I've got four horses in the national. I better win something.

 

[show me your skeleton]

fuck the fucking grand national. what an awful establishment.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Yeah, it was pretty hardcore for Marvel. Frank Miller levels.

 

[7aged]

Speaking of deep fried mushy peas, place I went to last night had it! It was gorgeous.

 

[danthefan]

Guess this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know a bricks-and-mortar store in central London where I'd be able to buy 8GB of DDR3L memory for my laptop on Monday?

Really really screwed without it

there's probably a maplin around where you are but i think our single sticks are £80 or there abouts.

It'll be going straight onto work expenses so not too bothered about the price, if a Maplins has it that would be perfect, cheers.

 

[7aged]

There's also a PC world on Tottenham Ct Rd

That can't be a real thing. If it is, it must be fucking awesome, but no way.

I've watched the first three - absolutely loving it so far.

 

[Hystzen]

An elbow sticking out of an arm and a rib cage can be marked of my shit i did not expect to see in Daredevil List

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Holy shit, haha!

 

[show me your skeleton]

that hallway scene. oh my. daredevil, you done good.

 

[7aged]

That can't be a real thing. If it is, it must be fucking awesome, but no way.

It is real, and it is glorious

 

[War Peaceman]

Why would you watch this superhero shit when Mad Men's final, glorious march has begun; when Veep returns this evening or when Danger 5 is sitting there on Netflix waiting to be watched?

I really hope this superhero deluge ends soon.

I don't. In fact I hope that superhero TV shows replace everything else, so eventually all there is to watch is show after show about awesome ass kicking comic book characters.

 

[War Peaceman]

Actually I'm glad that there are tv shows, because they give a longer form of storytelling that enables for something a bit different. It is more the deluge of films that bothers me.

Is Daredevil actually good? Or just good for a schlocky tv show? I watched far too many episodes of Agents of Shield to give marvel tv the benefit of the doubt.

it is legitimately good. puts agents of shield and any of the dc schlock to shame.

I'm waiting for all 6 episodes of mad men to air then watch them at once. Also Daredevil is legit good not schlock good but legit good

Everybody needs to watch Danger 5. I love Ilsa a bit.

 

[War Peaceman]

Interesting. I'll check out Daredevil when a backlog of episodes has been released. Do I need to know anything about the character? I don't even know what the power is.

It is great, isn't it.

Darkplace meets Archer meets Thunderbirds. Though it has this weird thing where I really enjoy what I'm watching, really appreciate the construct of the jokes but never, ever laugh... it is no Darkplace, but definitely worth watching. If only for the amazing death-cocktail recipe conceit.

 

[toythatkills]

I watched the first episode of Danger 5 and didn't think much to it. It was stupid but not in a good way like Darkplace, just in a stupid way. And I didn't particularly like any of the characters.

I might watch more though because I'm sure the potential's there for it to get way better, but I dunno.

all thirteen episodes are on netflix now and no, it's all self contained.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

meet was great. Met Charlie Veitch for the second time in the space of a month, and me and him hung out with Manchester's prime truth-layer that cool rasta-looking dude (who I've also chatted with before) who hangs in picaddilly gardens. We got all spiritual and shit.

Haha, yeah, that guy is mint. He gets on the 86 all the time, the driver is always just like, "Yeah, just sit down mate" when he gets on, purely so he doesn't have to listen to his stoned ramblings.

He seems like he's loving life to be fair, more power to him!

He drops reality bombs left and right brah

Charlie Veitch is also cool with furries, apparently.

This is Netflix, there's a whole season out already. How much more of a backlog do you need?

It also seems like it has a short version of the origin story so you don't need to know anything.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

From what I understand, Daredevil is blind, and his superpower is basically fighting through his other heightened senses.

I say this as someone with "don't watch that awful Affleck movie" as a frame of reference, so I may be completely wrong.

 

[toythatkills]

That's also the plot of one of my favourite episodes of Samurai Jack.

Ahhh I wasn't sure if they were releasing it HOC style or Better Call Saul style.

Thanks!

His superpowers sound really dumb, but I'll give it a shot.

 

[Spookie]

His super powers are explained rather well in the show tbh.

 

[show me your skeleton]

all superpowers are dumb, they're just a metaphor for 'otherness' generally.

They're not really superpowers though

[NinjaBoiX]

Just watched Spinal Tap with my bro, he'd never seen it. What a classic.

Marty DiBergi: " If you couldn't play rock'n'roll, what would you do?"

David St. Hubbins: "I'd be a full-time dreamer."

 

[show me your skeleton]

this goes to elvene it's like just one bigger but its is elenven louder. it is's louder, one


classic spinal tap.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Daredevil's pretty damn good.

On my way to see 7 now, excited! I bloody love this franchise.

The question isn't if but how much did you cry?
