Worrying day, looks like we're being TUPEd to a global outsourcer.

The ROI for that whisky is brilliant, congratulations!

Paracord offcuts ... not a clue. Shoelaces? Do you fancy some royal (as in, Buck Palace) anti-blast precautions? In which case, use it to weight down your extra-long curtains or nets - when something blows up outside your house, there'll be less damage/deaths from broken glass. This tip is brought to you originally by a member of the Intelligence Corps, retd.

I vote shoelaces


ETA - ditto on TUPEing, but it doesn't sound good

I don't know what this means. Hope your job is ok?

I would worry that my job is not ok. I work in IT, but I'm not an IT person (IYSWIM). Without meaning to be a gloomy Guss, I have a lot of 'legacy' knowledge that is very useful now, but would not be say a year after we are sold off to another company...

It doesn't feel like any job is secure in today's world, Ed and with a global outsourcer possibly coming into play, its not good news.

Is there anything you can do to future proof your current career?

My current career? Probably not, just need to look to the future.

Worrying times Ed .

At least you have a apocalypse box to fall back on, I don't even have that :eek:. And some of the older folk round here look like the zombie apocalypse has already started :rotfl:.

Zombie apocalypse boxes are part of the required kit for all young parents! :eek:

Any idea what I can use the offcuts for? I have 6 pieces of about 18" long left.

Put them on £bay or gumtr£e? I don't know if anyone looks online for stuff like that but mlitary and outdoor people use plenty. It may also come in handy in the garden for staking plants etc for your own use.
