Are disappointing.
Despite being the subject of a court case supposedly involving a giant biscuit cake to show they are not liable to VAT, and specialist monitoring systems[^] being built to check they are OK on the production line (which is over a mile long), they are very disappointing to eat.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Depends on which ones you buy: the McVities ones are indeed pretty poor these days: so-so sponge, tasteless "orangey bit" and little chocolate.
The Lyons ones are much better for "orangeyness" and good chocolate thickness, but a dry sponge; while the Tesco version is ok sponge, good "orangeyness" but spray paint chocolate to ensure an even one molecule thickness...
None of them dunk well.
I quite like these: Asda Milk Chocolate Oatie Crumbles[^] - despite being milk chocolate rather than plain, they are similar to McVities milk chocolate hobnobs[^] but better. Can't eat many at a time though - which is a bonus!

NO! If you don't like Jaffa cakes there is something wrong with you, so I'd recommend a visit to a doctor. Preferably a proctologist, as your tastebuds is full of sh*te.

Got a problem in Crystal Report (requested by the user), search for the problem, trying everything I could find, and at the end of the day, my boss will say that it's okay if it won't be done?! Nice..
I'll just go home and have a good night sleep.

One little day! Once I developed a web based workflow management application (as a platform to handle users requests). It took almost a month - a real gem I tell you! Dumped a week after

I know a dev who worked for 4 YEARS on an app only to have it dumped in the final stages of UAT. It is the first time I ever saw a dev go absolutely ballistic when the manager asked him why he was upset, he was getting paid so STFU. The dev decked the manager and quit 20 seconds later.

In our company we're working on the same (major) feature for the third time. Every time, it has taken a dev team of six people six months to develop. The first two times, it has been scrapped right before release...
And since our system evolves quite a lot and quite fast, we've been unable to just pick up the old code the next time the feature has been requested, but are forced to develop it again from scratch...
We're crossing our fingers that 3rd time is the charm, but actually, we don't really care. It's not our money and as long as we get paid to do it...

Not exactly, they not even tried to learn it. After they got the first review, they decided that the learning time of 2 months is too long...
