while I don't know much about most posters this one in particular seems to have regularly dropped bits of his life into posts on here enough times as some form of dubious bragging that it is hard to miss it
from what I can tell he presumably worked at EDS (as he's mentioned public sector IT projects several times) though as they got taken over by HP he'll make sure to only refer to HP and make it sound like he was some hot shot at a big tech firm - this then gets contradicted when it seems he was heavily involved in union stuff so presumably not exactly too far up the ladder
he's now in 'academia' - which apparently consisted of pursuing a vocational undergrad degree at a local college and hoping to start a PGCE or something - I've seen this posted about several times, often when winding up other posters who proceed to then bite when he brings up that he'll never pay back his student loans... this can be entertaining to watch
he once claimed to be offered a 'senior lecturer' position before even graduating from his local college course - I'd presume he perhaps means some tutoring at his local college based on industrial experience
seemingly being a full time student meant he claimed to have taken 'early retirement' in his 30s
and lastly in this thread he claimed to already be drawing money from his 'pension' - when the reality was again rather different - IIRC he owns part of a caravan or holiday park or something like that up north? Can't remember what it was exactly but basically it seems he's prone to making claims and stating things in a manner that is probably partly true but rather misleading.
That's me who does the complaining!
He took out a student loan to cover the cost of Uni which he didn't need and never intends of paying it back.
He also has now been giving 25k towards his teacher training which he doesn't need either and intends to work only part time so he doesn't have to pay back his student loan.
I don't doubt that he is retired but it's the bragging about the student loan's that grinds my gears and a few others as well. Of course he keeps bringing it up as he know it's winds people up
