      SAS live and train in Herefordshire. To clarify I'm talking about the hard as nails elite fighting machines not the geeky programmer.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        "Where is Lincolnshire?"

        Are all southerners oblivious to the location of the second biggest county in England?
        Is it near Scotland? It sounds like somewhere out of the Lord Of The Rings.

          Lincolnshire might not be out of The Lord of The Rings but most of the inhabitants look like they are

            Warning: when you have got one wrong a few times, one of the county's dots go pink. Do NOT do what I did and ignore that one assuming you have clicked on it - it's actually a 'hint', i.e. telling you the answer.

              If you're willing to work anywhere in the country, your address is irrelevant.
              I always say I'm from the next town to where the role is - "but please send contracts etc to my registered office address'.

                Herefordshire is in Wales. Some people will tell you that it's in England, but they're just deluding themselves. It's really in Wales.

                  It's one of those questions when we don't want a proper answer, like 'how are you today', or 'did you have a good journey'.

                  If you give a detailed answer then you'll never get the job.
                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
