    I think it would work quite well if people had planned their answer but people were coming back with obviously AI written answers. Many hadn't even taken AI as a template and rewritten to sound authentic. So pre AI it would have made lots of sense, now not so much. My organisation scores answers 0-4, so doesn't they weren't allowed to score them down for using AI as nobody said they couldn't. I think it depends on what you want from an interview. My organisation is very strict, once you're in the interview your CV basically goes out the window and it's who can score the highest wins. I think that's stupid as they often want quite a specific answer, delivered in a certain way. That's something AI has probably worked out over years for local authority jobs. It's also lead to some real useless twats bullshiting their way through the organisation. I've worked at other places where they purposely ask quite simple questions as they wanted to guage the person being able to fit in with the current workforce and also ask you questions based on your CV to sort of guage if you are telling porkies or not. I prefer that style of interview, where it's almost like a chat. I also think the department that gave the heads up, the Climate Emergency team get very young and often tech savy people applying, often graduates. I work in Waste and Street CLeaning, the people you get applying for that is older and I can imagine we wouldn't have had the same issues.

    One of the teams that comes under the same director did that, they suggested it and she lapped it up, our team refused the idea. Said you'll just get several people with identical answers. Exactly what happened and they had to pull the idea. They refused to accept it was a stupid idea so gave them 60 minutes with the questions, similar stuff happened just at a lower level. 60 minutes is plenty to get AI to write you answers to 8-10 questions.
  3. I feel for NWL as I bet they lose out on this with any upfront costs. I'm not really sure why they booked him, as Angle is already there but that's another discussion.
  4. Not a fan either but I can understand watching two people try and suss each other out and try and get get past their defence etc. This is just two people taking turns at hitting, I really don't get it. Double what I earn in a month. Still wouldn't fucking do it.
  5. I was wondering why he's even doing it. Surely he's not skint and PowerSlap can't pay that much can it (I'm sure he's one of the better paid ones) at least not enough to make it worth doing if you're already worth money or can probably earn a reasonable living doing a handful of indy dates and autograph signings.

    I'm not sure if he's a bell end who likes to intididate using faux threats or just an idiot thinking that he wouldn't have to pay for the county court costs. Even if he won there's a very good chance he'd pay all his fees himself. I've heard a few places like that, is it even legal? I bet it isn't. I think even pay minimum wage for the shift even if the wage if you get it is more. I've worked at one place that did a trial day (which was because the previous person dissapeared on their 3rd day during their lunch break and was partly to see if the new person was happy to stay) and the person was paid but not LLW which they'd get for subsequent days.

    I don't really understand getting lunch paid for if at an interview. I did a recruitment day once at a call centre where there was like a 100 people so they put sandwiches out etc but that's it. Are people who apply to jobs at colleges and universities just have a high opinions of themselves and expect all this?
  8. I've watched the first 3 matches and I quite enjoyed it. I let my son watch (I've wanted some form of wrestling to show him but AEW is too violent for him and WWE is WWE), who's never seen wrestling before, and he loved it. Got very angry at bad guys cheating, cheered pinfalls etc. So it got my son emotionally invested in it so I'm giving it a thumbs up based on that. I wasn't sure if he'd get into Tim Strange and his sort of fat bar room brawler look, very NWA, but actually he loved it and bought into him being a big tough bloke. He was cheering on London and Glasgow, who weren't the faces but kind of how it goes. If they do a London show I'll try and talk the misses into letting me take him. If you get 6 *15 minute matches then I know what I'm getting and 90 minutes is plenty of wrestling. My own views are that I thought the Production values were pretty good. The crowd was big, obviously they've used cheap tickets to get over 2000 people in but I think that's a good route for the first few shows. Get them in and sell them on the product and it also makes it look good. 2000 people just helped make it look professional. They had the time and score screens in the arena and on the screen at all times. I liked they kept the fall times almost like who scored in a football match. I liked the ring mat, football look. I do think the ring was a bit small and that's probably my main gripe with the production. I think it's mainly an issue when you try and do submission break spots. I thought the wrestling was pretty decent too. I'd say it was mostly simple stuff, but it flowed well and had me wanting to watch. I felt the rules were pretty easy to get into aswell and overall made sense. I think they also made the HT make sense and the yellow card system. So yeah I'd definitely like to see more and really hope they carry on getting good attendances and sell their football shirts.
  9. What I found amazing was they could interview an AI bot and still Ed Balls was the most wooden and least charismatic person on the screen. I found that quite depressing really. Obviously they've gone with the AI playing AI to test the waters for reaction and to get people on board.
  10. Incase anybody is interested Primark have WrestleMania, Undertaker and Austin tees. Fraction of the price and probably better quality than the ones from euroshop (is that still a thing).

    In a organisation wide teams meeting (3000 employees and only the first 999 could get in). Been told by the Chief Exec our reorg isn't a reorganisation, it's a change of mindset. What a cunt. A group of executives talking for an hour, who's salaries and on costs equate to well over a million pounds a year managed to say absolutely fuck all despite talking for so long. Been told they'd essentially need to raise council tax by 100% or find income equal to stop this and other service cuts.
  12. Making me fear my renewal, I got 4.6% (I think) about 2 years ago for 5 years. I have worked out I'll have paid my student loan off in 2 years, an extra £179 a month and hoping that should cover most of any increase.
  13. Saw this on my visit to the cinema today, my son wants to see it because he thinks it's Horrible Histories. Tbf it's quite good knowing we will go to the cinema for something I want to see (did today with Coyote vs Acme) With regards to Street Fighter, I understand movies with tiny budgets kind of revelling in their shitness due to limitations, but a movie costing hundreds of millions shouldn't be shit. Why purposely spend that money making a dire movie? I'm taking the same view as the mid 90s, just watch Street Fighter II the movie and don't bother with this one.
  14. From what little I've seen of her I don't think she did it particularly well. Kind of felt like she had to keep explaining the gimmick. But WWE is not the place to make it work or develop it but it definitely has its place in wrestling. Do wonder if it's a bit much too soon for someone so raw.
  15. The tabloids don't want to upset a large amount of their readership. I think at this point you're kind of reliant on the TV channels as the papers that do cover it, probably don't have much sway with the Reform target audience.
