NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Has just seen my hotel in Vietnam is going to be 2.5 MILLION Vietnamese Dong per night. That's a lot of Dong!
That's more dong than your mum's had. Nearly.
Sigh.....how long exactly were you waiting to make this joke.
£92 that's quite expensive for a hotel in south east Asia. If I were you I'd be expecting a VR headset for porn in your room
I only found out the rate today but obviously I've been waiting a while to make a joke about the Dong
#childish.
The taxpayer is generous.

They are, although this, as far as I understand it, being funded by the exams business.
And as our systems bring in a couple of million pounds a week I don't feel too bad
I didn't pick the hotel, for the record.
what exactly is it about the exams racket I mean business that takes you out to the other side of the world?
When candidates come to do an exam paper there have to be various staff members present. Invigilators, obviously, but there will be a supervisor who runs the day (more than one in bigger operations) and there are other roles like Marshall who herd the candidates around and tell them where to go.
All those people need paying. At the moment they still fill in paper timesheets so they know how long everyone has worked for. We have built a back office system where they do all the planning - say how many invigilators etc they need, assign people to do those roles. We've written a mobile app which will link to our back office system, the supervisor will log in and it will show them who they're expecting to work that day. We've printed cards for the staff with a photo and QR code on and the staff will come in and the app will read the QR codes, show the person's photo so the supervisor can check their identity and automatically record the time they've clocked in and, later clocked out and capture any exception reasons (if they're late, or whatever). All that will then be synced with the back office system so we can automate the staff payments.
Anyway...we're going to trial the app in Sri Lanka this Saturday and Vietnam the Saturday after. Hanging out in Dubai for a couple of days in between.
I don't think I owe the British tax-payer an apology, I don't think they're paying, but I do feel I should say sorry to the Ozone layer.

End of the day, if you don't believe in man made climate change (which seems to be more about making an argument for convenience) than it won't make a difference. If you do believe in it, then people should be honest enough to admit that we've passed the point of no return anyway and any carbon tackling measures is just a futile attempt to slow down the inevitable.
