Bioscience degrees are generally wanted for entry now including Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry and as well as more standard degrees like Geography, Environmental Science and Agriculture. It's a mixed bag profession with many overlapping areas with the Bio-Chemical /Agro-Chemical(BASF etc)...

Well I was simply making a point about UK agriculture, and it somehow evolved into insulting my Dad's previous profession.. Oh well this is the Internet as you say ;)

First time I've asked for someone to google agronomist.. Don't worry I won't bother in future ;)

No contempt meant, to be honest. Lol, grow up.

The FTSE 100 on the LSE recovered well after the referendum vote due to many companies earnings are in US dollars and the exchange rate with the falling pound boosted their share prices. The FTSE 250 and 350 was hit harder and therefore more erratic movements as you say. The word "asymmetrical"...

British supermarkets are now buying more British meat, dairy products, fruit and veg, which is in turn helping to save British farming from going under (dairy especially) because of the fall in Sterling. My dad is a recently retired agronomist (google it), who still gets the gossip from the...

The DUP have creationists in their ranks: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2134162-five-things-you-need-to-know-about-dup-politicians-and-science/ That made me panic just a little.. how long before one gets outed as a flat-Earther? I trust the nuclear codes won't be left near this lot :nuke:

I don't believe so, but the night is young! Some of the results are all over the place though.. the SNP are losing seats to the Tories with a 16% swing.

Apparently the plotting against Theresa May has started already.. it's probably fair to say it's an utter disaster for the Tories now.

Maybe to try and catch some of the limelight that has swung in Corbyn's direction! If the parliamentary Labour party hadn't tried to stab Corbyn in the back at every opportunity, then a Labour majority may have been on the cards..

Key marginal results start coming in at roughly 1am UK time, if I recall correctly.. There are lots of conflicting indicators flying about.. Roughly increased Tory share of the vote in the North but Amber Rudd is on the ropes in Hastings in Sussex.

I'm in a Tory-Labour marginal and this exit poll pretty much sums up the impression I got wondering round the place over the past couple of weeks. The media talk of a Tory landslide earlier in the campaign simply didn't match up to what I experienced.

It does look like a hard Brexit without a deal is more likely now, but at this point it's all posturing and there will be concessions on both sides in time. It's pretty much a poker game and we are still in the Blinds and Antes stage at the moment.

The reason why Nazi-like parties like the Golden Dawn came to the fore in Greek politics is because Greece is stuck in the Euro and can't devalue when difficult times come about. The economic hardship caused by being in the Euro allows extremist parties to arise. It's common knowledge that...

I've been looking round for another source but only found "The Express". Normally The Guardian and Independent like to cover this sort of story but they are strangely mute on Yanis's latest sentiments...

Nice thanks, Ryzen it is then for my new build. :scan:

Yanis Varoufakis speculating on the possibility of a trade deal: 'My Brexit advice to Theresa May is to avoid negotiating at all costs' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/28/yanis-varoufakis-brexit-advice-theresa-may-avoid-negotiating/#comments Unfortunately the majority of the article...

Wales isn't going anywhere, Scotland and Northern Ireland is where there's a realistic opportunity for independence or change etc. There'll probably be another Scottish independence referendum within 10 years in my opinion.

I'll stick my neck out and say Macron wins come May 7th beating Le Pen, but I'm not going to bet money..

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/david-cameron-raises-serious-concerns-with-spanish-pm-mariano-rajoy-as-gibraltar-tensions-grow-8749684.html This was back in 2013, long before anyone had heard about Brexit. All the talk was about Grexit at the time. Obviously, the Gibraltar...
