So, I'm taking the train up to Budapest to see my sick torturer! dentist. Free wifi, clean and comfortable. No need to purchase a ticket before as the nice guard sells them without a markup that would put Wonga to shame.
Totally alien experience

You were trying to dodge paying the fare weren't you.

TBH they don't bother with ticket offices or machines in the small stations and I got on. in front of the guard.

Do you need to bring carrots for the Goats that pull them though?

I would not be surprised if they used a dozen migrants on a treadmill to power the thing.

Here in France it is even better, besides providing free wifi, comfortable seats and being clean, dentists can also be consulted without a ticket !

I went to Budapest once and never again. 
Maybe we had bad luck but too many people were too rude and a lot of things annoyed the hell out of me. First you had to show your tickets to get off the station. When buying tickets to leave the darn city it was slooow and everything was a hassle.
Cab driver tried to rip us off, almost got in a fight, the establishment with female dancers tried to rip us off, one friend got pick pocketed and lost half of his travel money. The escalators to the subway was way to long and steep.
The only good memories from that city was from a sushi restaurant and another place with huge ass wiener schnitzels.
Never had so much bad luck in one city over a few days as there.

Equal exchange it seems, my dislike your like. Basic Alchemy, or Karma. 
Glad someone likes it at least because it was a beautiful city with the view from the old castle and all.

Yes. They should make them shorter and let you jump the rest of the way down.

Hi All,
Got an Email this morning from a company I had an interview with on Tuesday 'Sorry You Didn't Get It, But' I think they were impressed with my Electronics knowledge (I knew what a virtual earth was and what a BGA is). The problem was I didn't have the design knowledge?  I think they mean I didn't have the know how of to interface to Labview and take third party bits of hard ware and get them talking. I think! Why do you get an Email from someone who doesn't know what they are on about!!

Just be glad you got anything!

I know I am still waiting to hear about a job in Hastings had the interview 2+ years ago! Mind you that was not a fun day!, get set for one interview, on the train get a phone call the company wants to interview me for a second different role at a different site an hour later... Two interviews one day!!

Well at least you were already dressed for it!

Yup! the worst bit was trying to answer questions on Data bases when I don't know that much about them and all my pre-interview prep was for the electronics job which wasn't...

Last year, I had two interviews for a job in a company, first technical, second with management; The result of the second interview was "All OK for us, the next step will be a meeting with HR for clarifying administrative details, we will contact you". And then nothing anymore. When I called back after a week or so, the guy could barely remember we had met, so had to look up for my name to know who I was, and told me "Ah yes, that job opening has been canceled on monday" and he hung up. 
At first, I really wondered what company has the time to set up two appointments with a candidate, spend 5 hours in interviews, some part of it with senior management, to finally forget to call back the candidate ?! In between, I came to the conclusion that the job was offered someone internal to the company, but they had at least to do some external interviews to satisfy some non-discrimination code of conducts. Apparently, my own company does that as well. Still, this is overall very sick.
