And great work on the 1970s martial artist (love the pants!) and the FoW British paras.<br /><br />And good luck with the strike - very stressful and not great to be in the middle of such things - but here's hoping good sense prevails and you get back to the day job soon with everything sorted out.Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-56396568248922274682018-02-28T00:53:05.444-06:002018-02-28T00:53:05.444-06:00cheerscheersMartinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465653471454483708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-90725764145244157442018-02-28T00:52:53.180-06:002018-02-28T00:52:53.180-06:00thanks mate, think we are back talkingthanks mate, think we are back talkingMartinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465653471454483708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-47492131249837360262018-02-27T22:54:54.284-06:002018-02-27T22:54:54.284-06:00Very productive.

Our VC has come out in favour of the strike and even the government have told the VCs to get back to negotiating without preconditions. <br />MartinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465653471454483708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-49784265706476000312018-02-27T03:41:24.666-06:002018-02-27T03:41:24.666-06:00Great post with a huge range of figures got to say...Great post with a huge range of figures got to say I love the samurai very very cool indeedGalpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952052968594252937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-85798074165658529782018-02-27T03:28:50.818-06:002018-02-27T03:28:50.818-06:00thanks for clearing that up Tamsin, I have found t...thanks for clearing that up Tamsin, I have found the Dutch and UK systems to differ quite a lot and so translating between them can lead to misunderstandings.

I love the patterns on the trousers of the "Samurai" :)<br />I'm not in USS myself [I'm in the London universities' support staff scheme], but appreciate the reasons for the strike. And in London at least, UCU have brought their traditional strike weather - bitterly cold and wet from snow!<br /><br />Sander - this time it's not the politicians buggering things up, just the wannabe/failed politicians in charge of the UK universities [admittedly the issues with the pension scheme in question are a bit more complex and there are some historic issues where the employee side might have some culpability too] :(<br /><br />TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.com
