I got 21 and passed, but I should have got 24. I found some of the questions quite difficult, and 2 or 3 were were honestly good guesses. I would say the test is basically crap.

Sorry Nick, nice try :-)

Was that before or after reading the study guide?

Viewing your results, I'm not going to take the test, because the census people say I and all kids with military or diplomatic parents born outside of the UK are immigrants. They might deport me.

Oh crap! I'm British after all......

Glenn, I'll reply privately to your query and fill you in on the real backround.

As for ASDL, are you sure that it was Australian based? ADSL

If what you say is correct, please explain to the unenlightened as to why you & 29 others wanted to seize control of these forums?

Hence this: -

People like us, he would dearly love to hide away from public view as it upsets the "applecart" - As seen already from the past, leopards never can change their spots.....

Typical bumbling politicians reply!

Still cherry picking with no sensible replies to valid points raised!

umm who are the 29 your talking about ?

As for Huawei you should be worried about that company . Why the gov over there not interested in good old British know how to engineer what you need , or ask us we got good telecommunications stuff here . After all it was us that invented Wi-Fi and ADSL . And yes we did work out ADSL our telephone network was built in the 30-40's and they used too small a thickness of wire so our guys had to come up with a way to make a shit network carry more info without rebuilding the whole thing .

Necessary is the mother of good inventions

Honestly, you don't half talk a load of old twaddle at times! Yet, when you haven't been down the pub or in the betting shop, you can on occasions be quite entertaining.

For one who is retired with not much to do with their time & bored with themselves, entering politics so that they can make a change from the inside is laughable,

Carry on having a laugh then, be my guest. I seem to be buisier now than I was when I worked full time. With all the Clubs that I belong to, organisations I support, local politics, various charity work, it would be nice to get a day off once in a while. As an MBCS Professional I have a couple of clients to see on my patch via the Ability Net in a couple of days time as well. No peace for the wicked!

Mr S has proven himself to be a control freak & wishes to have total sway over everything he participates in & those who do not meet his "standards" he criticises/insults/demeans.

Mr S. has proven nothing of the sort. You don't like being challenged on your own views, which you think are sacrosanct. What you are saying is your own personal opinion, for what that is worth. I will challenge those who do not undestand what they are talking about, and who just want to make mischief.

Unfortunately, there are those of us who know his standards which to say the least is exactly that of our current mopheads in Westminister

Oh I see, you have the credentials to speak on behalf of other people then do you? Care to name who they may be?

"People like us", he would dearly love to hide away from public view as it upsets the "applecart" -

In my view all people are equal, and entitled to their opinions, however silly, uninformed, and misplaced they may be.

Entering the history books for being: -
The Biggest T**t this country has ever had as a Prime Minister!

Simply in your own opinion, don't try to pass it off as the general view of everybody else.

OK folks lets try to get to grips with this. We have someone here who gets up every morning, goes straight to the Waily fail website, cherry picks the best lurid headlines, written by someone else, and posts them with a typical sarcastic comment added. Is this serious political debate? Is this pertinent comment? Is this informed dialogue?

No. What this is, is a bad tempered little Irishman, who has so many chips on his shoulders, that he could open up his own franchise of Harry Ramsdens and make a lot more money than lorry driving.

Another excellent reason why the Civil Service should be investigated & those not fit for service dismissed immediately. Also reforms are needed NOW!

Cyber enemy within or without?

"Although BT first told government officials in 2003 of Huawei's interest in the network contract, it wasn't till 2006 that civil servants informed ministers - and that was a year after the contract had been signed."

Cuts risking Councils financial stability

Easy, cut out all the un-necessary jobs & cap wages! Council leaders on £400,000 is not justifiable.

...and not a "Waily Fail" in sight!

OK, I'll arrange for further tax cuts for those earning 1 million or more, I'll also arrange for you to get away with not paying any corporation tax for as long as possible. I'll hike up other taxes so that our coffers won't run low, "waily fail" readers can pay for that.

...but it'll cost you - 10% into my private Swiss account

Fine with me. See you both around some time. Night.

Good night, Oh BTW, make sure you don't attempt to let my tyres down..... :)

Iona. Yes, it is an island, and one of special importance to many Scots, their kin and descendants - for example, the last and greatest leader of the Labour Party is buried there - John Smith. A charismatic man of wit, common-sense and intelligence, whose work in changing the Labour Party in the UK, was hi-jacked, on his untimely death, by Tony Blair, to suit his own purposes. Riches.

To be honest, Chris, I'm really offended by your comment and will take no further part in this 'conversation'.
