Saints V Blackpool Match Thread and Reaction
badgerx16 replied to SOTONS EAST SIDE's topic in The Saints
No, he cost us a goal, if our finishing was better we would have scored more - so why not blame Guly for 2 dropped points. I'm not specifically trying to protect Bart, but getting on his back won't improve his performances, and he is still our only backup to KD. -

1) we've scored more goals 2) S before W in the alphabet Anyway, Reading and Millwall will win. -
Maybe he's fine in training but lack of first team appearances has drained his confidence. The problem with being a keeper is that the slightest error is likely to concede a goal, there is very rarely another player covering your mistakes.

Fraudulent Insurance Claim...?
badgerx16 replied to saintscottofthenortham's topic in Motoring Forum
As far as I am aware that is b0ll0x - the 'private land' rules apply only for an individual's house or property, the ICO says "The Data Protection Act does not apply to individuals’ private or household purposes. So if you install a camera on your own home to protect it from burglary, the Act will not apply", although there is guidance on whether you can use it to monitor public spaces - so you can monitor a private driveway but should try to avoid the footpath outside your curtelage. IMO the college car park is a public space by definition, and the College is a business premises, so the DPA applies. Also, not sure of the relevance or accuracy, but I found this elsewhere : " If this is a private car park then neither careless driving or reporting a road accident apply so it is not a police matter. If the car park is public then careless driving laws apply and any accident needs to be reported (or details exchanged/owner informed etc) As per RTA 1988 section 3 and section 170, both as amended by RTA 1991." -
A partly disgraced cabinet member, who only kept his seat as he's from the minority partner, hoping to get back in his boss's good books. Every member of the coalition front bench will say it's a good thing, because the alternative is for the facade of co-operation to crumble.

Fraudulent Insurance Claim...?

Come to think of it, were there clear signs up concerning the use of CCTV on the car park ? If not, the images can't be used. -
Fraudulent Insurance Claim...?

As you will be on the alleged images, you can make a Data Subject Access request under the DP Act. This is an extract from the Code of Practice : " [h=3]9.2 Subject access requests[/h] Individuals whose images are recorded have a right to view the images of themselves and, unless they agree otherwise, to be provided with a copy of the images. This must be provided within 40 calendar days of receiving a request. You may charge a fee of up to £10 (this is the current statutory maximum set by Parliament). Those who request access must provide you with details which allow you to identify them as the subject of the images and also to locate the images on your system. You should consider: How will the staff involved in operating the CCTV system recognise a subject access request? Do you have internal procedures in place for handling subject access requests? This could include keeping a log of the requests received and how they were dealt with, in case you are challenged. A clearly documented process will also help guide individuals through such requests. This should make it clear what an individual needs to supply. You should decide: What details will you need to find the images? Is it made clear whether an individual will need to supply a photograph of themselves or a description of what they were wearing at the time they believe they were caught on the system, to aid identification? Is it made clear whether details of the date, time and location are required? What fee will you charge for supplying the requested images (up to a maximum of £10) and how should it be paid? Make this clear to people making access requests. How will you provide an individual with copies of the images? If images of third parties are also shown with the images of the person who has made the access request, you must consider whether you need to obscure the images of third parties. If providing these images would involve an unfair intrusion into the privacy of the third party, or cause unwarranted harm or distress, then they should be obscured. In many cases, images can be disclosed as there will not be such intrusion. Example: A public space CCTV camera records people walking down the street and going about their ordinary business. Where nothing untoward has occurred, this can be released without editing out third party images. Example: Images show the individual who has made the request with a group of friends, waving at a camera in the town centre. There is little expectation of privacy and the person making the request already knows their friends were there. It is likely to be fair to release the image to the requester without editing out the faces of their friends. Example: Images show a waiting room in a doctor’s surgery. Individuals have a high expectation of privacy and confidentiality. Images of third parties should be redacted (blurred or removed) before release. Where you decide that third parties should not be identifiable, then you will need to make arrangements to disguise or blur the images in question. It may be necessary to contract this work out to another organisation. Where this occurs, you will need to have a written contract with the processor which specifies exactly how the information is to be used and provides you with explicit security guarantees." -
Well, we have a ( mostly ) German Royal Family, so I suppose that makes them relatives, whereas the Frogs are just garlic munching surrender monkeys. Plus we've fought more wars with the Germans against the French than vice versa.

Well we already have PoundLand !

I'm sure that's not what brought Lehman's down, and nearly crashed Goldman Sachs. Some of the financial models were so complicated that nobody really knew how they operated, and they had no idea as to the true content and worth of the 'junk' they exchanged, nor even who ultimately 'owned' responsibility for it.

Yep, let's discount the cost of bailing out Northern Rock, RBS, and the mess that Lloyd's has become, let alone potentially the deepest recesssion since the Wall Street Crash, due the the City and it's trading of non-existent commodities and bundles of debt.

I'm not a fool, but neither am I blinkered. You cannot be a member of a club, and then stand in the doorway trying to destabilise it at every opportunity. Our economy is so tightly bound into trading with Europe that we have to be able to influence what happens with the Euro - as far as the rest of the world is concerned we are 'in' and we will be treated accordingly, regardless of how isolationist we pretend to be. The ONLY solution to this issue is a referendum, but nobody in Westminster is willing to risk this - the Tories for fear of a 'yes' vote, and the LDs and Labour for fear of a 'no'. The only funny thing about the current situation is remembering Alex Salmond's comments on an independent Scotland being able to operate "like Ireland or Iceland, on the edge of the EU".

So Britain's policy is now being determined by a small group of right wing Tory xenophobes. Cameron isn't necessarily acting in Britain's interests, he's acting to try to preserve his own position in a divided party.

What are you public sector lot up to on Weds then?
badgerx16 replied to JackanorySFC's topic in The Lounge
What irks is not paying more per se, it's Government ministers publicly admitting that this has nothing to do with addressing the affordability ( or not ) of pensions by pumping the extra funds into the schemes, and everything to do with raising money to assist the Treasury's efforts to trim the deficit. -

Remember that at current contribution rates, 6.5% of the Social Worker's salary would have been deducted to cover their contributions, my rough maths puts that at £79k over 40 years, although there is a small NI discount. If only we knew how many years each of us would be drawing our pensions for, it would enable us to draw neat and accurate comparisons ! -

Taking the LGPS scheme as an example: for all service up to 31/03/2008 you get 1/80 of salary as pension and 3/80 as a lump sum. for service after that date you add 1/60 of salary and no additional lump sum, ( although some pension can be exchanged for lump sum ). Currently this is a final salary scheme, but the Govt want to change it to an average salary, although entitlement already accrued will not be lost ( I think - though how you work it out I'm not sure ). So for any given salary level, it is fairly easy to work out : As far as I can deduce the following are typical 'average' salaries in Local Government, so you should be able to work it out for yourself: Office Administrator £16,700 Social Worker £27,000 Environmental Health Officer £32,000 IT Support Technician £20,800 -
Hotmail IP address - Country verification
badgerx16 replied to Barney Trubble's topic in Technology Chat
There is no 100% foolproof way of determining this for any e-mail system if you don't have administrative access to the mail servers and access systems - I could just as easily send an email from my work's email system from a PC at the South Pole as from my desk, it's the access system's that would hold the key identifying data. -
Hotmail IP address - Country verification
badgerx16 replied to Barney Trubble's topic in Technology Chat
The IP address you see in the MIME headers on a mail message is the address of the mail server. With something like Hotmail or GoogleMail you will never see the IP of the sending client PC. (For instance. I have a yahoo.co.uk email account,- if I was in Malaysia and sent a message, the recipient would see a UK based IP ). If, on the other hand, you are looking at the domain portion of the sending mail account, and tracing that via WHOIS, be aware that it is extremely easy to spoof this information so that it looks to have come from somewhere else. -

"But he also said the unions had raised some genuine concerns....." "I think there is a genuine issue between the unions and ministers about the pension contributions, which I hope is the subject of further discussion," A solution is in there somewhere, but both sides need to stop posturing and start negotiating. -
Jutkiewicz and Maynard have only scored as many as Guly.
