    Unfortunately, even tough he is being non-PC he is telling the naked truth. Now, if you want to call racist to someone who is telling the uncomfortable truth, that is your problem. Yes, it is that bad, but some countries without the external aid money would have (almost) no money at all.

    Maybe not blocking air and sea travel has something to do with Monsanto buying shares of the firm producing the miraculous drug that kills Ebola...

    You surely are jesting me. I bought GOOD suits ten years ago, and the bottom of the range were 800 dollars. 300 dollars will buy you a cheap suit period. Which does not look good AT ALL.

    With that attitude you will only attract drones, yes men and people who know no better. The better employees will give you the middle finger even in the interview stage. I would. And just to be honest, I have money that will last to pay my bills for decades to come, and my life is to short to work with nazis like you that know no better that working is a two way relationship, and that you own me respect. Respect, apparently a word you do not know the meaning. And the day you lack me respect, you will be held accountable for it, no matter who you are. Power corrupts and it is an illusion, and I know well it. But trust me, sometimes it can be fleeing on time, and maybe, just maybe one day you will be the "lowest step of the ladder". You are a mean person and someone who is not suited to have a successful business and work with the best of the industry.

    Nonsense. Suits are only uniforms, nor more nor less. Culture shifts and change rapidly. They were once only for leisure, funnily enough. Nowadays they are the more on the realm of bullshit consultants, sleazy sales and dishonest politicians. If you want to stand from the crowd and have enough money to spare, high street designers clothes, iWatch and iPhone, good quality shoes. Forget the suit.

    A really good suit is damn expensive, and you do not buy just one to use everyday.

    A suit is a uniform, period. Akin to the uniforms of drivers or restaurant employees, no more, no less. Times are changing. Once the suit was only used for leisure 100 years ago, a few decades ago was seen as a luxury item, and nowadays is seen as a work uniform. And a very expensive uniform that you are paying out of your own pocket, and you have to change it often. A good suit also can cost on the tune of 1000 dollars. The cheaper ones look...well (too) cheap. The suits are also nowadays the prerogative of sleazy people, salesmen, bullshit consultants and politicians. I trust more a guy on designer clothes than a guy on a suit (hint, even daft football people his wearing suit nowadays). You are far better off with high street clothing than a suit nowadays if you have money to spare.

    You have to look wider. It is just not Cobol, the IT industry in the UK is paying shit salaries. And not only up north, I have received a lot of job offers to Gibraltar, and their offers are laughable, even if I were a local, which I am not, and thus will have added expenses.

    Maybe I am, maybe not, it depends on what you want. The PC is a short term solution, and I want it gone, will give it away in a short while. The house is small and it takes valuable space in the living room. The purpose was to repurpose it, and I was talking about that Linux was easier to install on it, rather than Windows, remember?
