In England a car factory (Nissan) has recently started hiring new people on poorer contracts than those already in the job.
Bosses will most likely argue its the economic downturn or whatnot, what it boils down to is people doing the same job in the same office/building earning, at times, vastly different sums of money.
Odds are if you ask for more you won't even get to the interview.
Best of luck.

Does Professional Gaming Have a Future? 116
mr_sifter writes "Three years ago, celebrity gamers such as Fatal1ty were bagging millions in prizes, and TV channels were queuing up to broadcast games on TV. Professional gaming looked set for the big time. It never happened, and in the current economic crisis, sponsors and media organizations are cutting costs, resulting in the closure of many pro gaming competitions (as we recently discussed) and a down-scaling in prize money. This feature looks at whether pro gaming can bounce back, and whether it will always be a PC sport, or if pro gaming on consoles is the future."

Journal Journal: The Simpsons "sponsor" in the UK on Channel 4
On sky TV (i.e. cable) the sponsor is Domino's pizza.
Now it has moved onto terrestrial TV (i.e. channel 4) the sponsor is Pizza Hut, and they use the EXACT same format of pre-show advertising. Its quite hilarious!

Journal Journal: My Donkey Konga critique.....
When playing any mini game, or indeed any level, there is this annoying *pause* where nothing happens before the actual action begins.
Example: The juggling bananas mini game, you get 77 seconds to juggle as many bananas as often as possible. As soon as Ive completed my turn, I want another turn to try and do better, I want to be right in the thick of it immediatly.
But no, the game forces you to wait 20-30 seconds saying *ready*.............................

Journal Journal: Viz Comic, 25 Years old!
Viz Comic celebrates its 25th anniversary this issue.
For those unfamiliar, its creators are local (i.e. Newcastle, England) chaps who began selling the comic at university bars and punk gigs, as it grew in popularity in the North East, local chain music stores (Virgin, HMV etc) began selling it, even against the wishes of regional managers who ordered them to cease selling local magazines!
