But we do.
All the other 96 channels hold are repeats of the crap on the first four...again.

But that still counts as 100 channels of crap!

Can you count them as "different channels" when the only way to tell which channel you are on is that the channel ident and the adverts are different?

But they're showing different crap at different times!

That shows how old this is!
Channel 5 started in 1997, then in 1998 the terrestrial Digital TV revolution began.

Almost, you stated Freeview, but forgot about the OnDigital (then ITV Digital) era before this!

I must have missed that - I was busy growing artificial limbs to pay for Sky.

We have sky here at work. when you have the same thing on for 2 weeks in a row, it certainly tells me one thing (and the wife knows it) I ain't getting sky at home!

Brits - Believe that those to the north and west of them brew better alcohol than they do
Canadians - Think they brew the best alcohol on earth especially their Whisky
Americans - Know that those north, south, east and west of them brew better alcohol then they do. They just can't handle it.
Aussies - Eh is that another drink lemme try a pull on that.

Americans: Shooting back at oppressive Feds is a right.
Canadians: Shooting back is rude; surely we can talk aboot it. Would you like to beat my harp seal?
Brits: What's "shooting?"
Aussies: Shooting back is silly; shoot first.

Ah. So he still has PUB as his username (but CP uses the original user id then) - implies he hasn't got a position yet. Pity, it's horribly depressing getting rejected all the time...poor bugger.

I know the worst bit is having some 12 year old tell you that is not how a CV is laid out today... Also agents phoning you at silly O'clock in that am (which gets later...) asking 'intelligent' question before ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) ...

Does seem like the "standard" changes over the years... I've been thinking of redoing mine soon because it seems outdated. Plus it's too long now that I've been on the job > 10yrs, so I have to summarize things a bit better.

Hmm, my guess is that there isn't a standard way, as I have had three pro's tell me the way it's laid out is good only to be told 'no that's not the way to do it', reply 'tell me whats wrong' after the arts graduate tells you to sell your self and do & that the phrase 'well we offer a service to rewrite CVs' reply 'Oh do you Hmmm', it a scam!

That's a good trick though. I bet people fall for it.
