Manc thinks I'm an embellisher but you hated me in part because you believed them, as far as I could tell.
Sounds about right.
That's pretty sad.
I don’t know what would be worse, that they’re all true or not.
Igors only crime is posting the same shit most of us were about 10 years ago. He's not saying anything particularly far fetched or out there, he's just living the life of a teenager / someone in their early 20's. I've never really seen the issue with anything he posts.

Can't believe it was my fault.
Unless the document was titled 'How to Fight the Taliban' I'm not sure how that would have helped.
They're gonna shit their pants when they learn about VPNs.
That is believable. I work with 'sensitive documents', and we were having to cancel all sorts of things because there weren't enough people to supervise, meet access controls etc. Everything above a certain level of classification is run over secure communications, which people don't have on their laptops. I've been waiting over a year to go to Wales and see some stuff because everybody at the Cardiff branch of Business and Energy is still cowering at home.
There isn't a client end for this which could be set up on the staff laptops?
Even assuming it's not possible or practical to set up connections for staff in the required numbers to make working from home suitable for that job, the headline isn't intended to make a specific point about the infrastructure of the thing is it?
The point is HOMEWORKING = TALIBAN, who I assume have reclaimed bogeyman status because ISIS haven't blown up anything Britons care about recently.
I've finally made my mind up on the home working issue, which is that firms and employees should just agree things among themselves - and, as I read somewhere this morning, any attempted intervention towards GET BACK TO WORK by the government can only mean they are batting for commercial landlords.
You could set something up for higher networks at great expense, but if the material is at the very highest levels, which things like human intelligence sources possibly would be, then even higher networks require that the room in the building that the terminal is in has to meet certain requirements.
Give us some Goss.

We'd all be speaking German if it were in our hands.
I decide which old stuff can and can't go to the National Archives/other places.
Oh so for that stuff it's not even that there are internal networks used they don't want to extend, it requires somebody at a physical thing?
I think this is the reasonable stance. You can't just say "OKAY, DRONES, YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN NOW GET BACK TO WORK" any more than you can dictate that firms have to allow everybody to work where they like. I missed it but there was a company call with our overlords the other day where they were discussing the return to office plan and one of the chief something-or-others was asked to list the benefits for the question-asker's specific role to be in the office because he couldn't think of any and it sounds like they basically couldn't think of anything.
I think in some ways they'd do better for now just being honest and saying that the offices in central Glasgow and even more so the one in Southwark cost a fucking bomb and the shareholders aren't going to be happy at just eating that cost so may as well look like we need it.
There are teams in our company though where really there's no need for anybody to be in the office, though our manager is now planning team outings the like of which we literally never had before COVID.
You could presumably put the network terminals anywhere and it would work, but they have to be in a secure room (within a secure building), which has all sorts of criteria that somebody's house would never meet in a million years.
EDIT: Also, if it is sufficiently high level it could be subject to the two man rule, where by you aren't allowed to read it without somebody else present, so even if your house passed all of the physical tests you would still fail there.

Scenes when the comercial landlords have to adapt to become traditional, blood sucking, residential landlords and the surge in supply forces them to reduce their rent too.
I think it's very important that we compare everything to a war that happened the better part of a century ago. We need that perspective.
Could you get away with making shit up and feeding it to the tabloids? I mean, you'd obviously get sacked and that's a sacrifice we're willing to make, but could you get the media to run with the story before hand?
Nobody seems to get sacked for feeding them actual stuff (that Kent bus stop episode was clearly deliberate), so making things up can't be an offence.
What's the official secrets act even for?
I suppose it stops low level plebs leaking/selling whatever they like, like that bloke and them gays at the Cyprus base, but yeah lol at it applying to people above a certain level.
Gavin Williamson and Priti Patel are apparently too important. Truly the worst timeline.
Gavin Williamson was a stupid one because if he deserved the sack then he should have been charged. He will have been put up to it by half the senior management, who would all have been implicated in any proper investigation, and you can't have that.
I'm very bored, running out of things to do by 10am on a Monday can't be a good sign.
Booked in for the office tommorrow. I thought I'd test the waters and essentially told them I cba to which they replied fair enough.
Just received my itinerary for Spain, six different Ibis hotels in successive nights
They're also having a barney about who has to pay for my flight, the company or the guy I'm going with. Professional as ever at the home of professionalism.
Why would the guy you're going with pay?
Because he's on commission or whatever. I don't know. The good thing is that I'm copied into all the emails arguing about it.
I'd have even money on the company begrudgingly footing the bill.
What the sweet fuck is this? We've just had our once every fortnight expectation increased to once every week.Booked in for the office tommorrow. I thought I'd test the waters and essentially told them I cba to which they replied fair enough.
That's mental. The company has to cover the travel costs. CC me in Jim, I'm not having this.
Just fwded to spikey@gypobastards.gov.uk
On another note, the company chairman has just emailed the whole company recommending we click this youtube link for the 'words of wisdom' within. I can't bear to do it so I'll let TTH look for me: https://youtu.be/c7V1qLLsn7M
Witaf is that?
It's over nine years old for a start. Maybe it sewed the seeds for clapping for the NHS.
I still haven't clicked it but it's gone to all employees worldwide so I trust it's a cross-cultural banger and will not damage his credibility in any way.
Teh Fuge had "match day song for boro" as an anthem, and now the New Board has one too.
That is incredible.
Some lovely banjo work there
Well that's me convinced.
At my place we are all getting $5000 as some sort of thank you for working during Covid.
Bastards. I got absolutely fuck all extra and never missed a day.
Less than a year ago the talk was all about how we were going bankrupt, so I do not know what changed but I will take it.
Buy a beat up truck to race.
I suggested it to Ms. Pepe but she thinks that we should use it to pay for daycare instead.
Tell her they only gave $500, not $5000 and just keep the truck at work or a friends.
Secret Truck.
She also gets the free money, so there is no hiding it.
Tell her you got less and the place must be racist.
