True...I was thinking of one company I worked for where I think I was taken on as I could handle both of the engineers above me. They did not like each other!

Well in my case it was because they had the expense account and company credit card...

Yes, that is the case.
IMO. If new employee is not "fun" to work with, all his experience counts for nothing.
I'd rather be phishing!

I am now worried about the company who hired me, are they as sick & twisted as me???

For sure this is true in Asia, for some reason there they really believe it's HR's job to hire staff at any level for any department for any function; even the head hunting firms (premium firms included) that are located there have moved to this model.
Not joking but really don't bother applying if you are ugly, fat, wrong color ... (unless you are family.) Sure some Asian countries have 'anti discrimination' laws, and 'proper ladies' never fart in public.
Hey', it's just my opinion after being there > 20 years, and inasmuch it's one of the top [of many] key reasons why Asia will forever be a follower: they may be faster, they may have more, they are often more efficient, but they won't be first.

From what I have heard HR try to get themselves in the loop so they are harder to get rid of. Never met one who was any use! Interesting to get Asia view. I think I lost out on one job as I was taller than the guy interviewing me.

I use the BBC/News website as my home page within Internet Explorer on Win10. Everything is OK until I accidentally close IE. When I re-open it, IE has a lot of trouble displaying my home page again. The speed is very slow to the point that sometimes it won't open at all, even though the URL is displayed correctly. If it does open, using the site is very slow. To fix the problem, I have restart Win10.
Does anyone else experience this problem with their homepage?

No.
But then, I don't use IE.
Try Chrome: it just works for me!

Are you noticing that Chrome has started to crash and hang a lot these days?
I guess now that Google is 18, it is trying out new things which is affecting its chrome.

It has been years I have used firefox. I think it deserves another chance.

No, I haven't. What does crash a lot is Flash.

Browser home pages are meant to show about:blank.
No delay, no wasting bandwidth or checking the cache to load a page you might not be interested in viewing this particular time you launch the browser.
If you have to ask, yes, I'm the guy who has his desktop "wallpaper" set to solid black.

Clipboard?

We have a winner.
Well done. Hopefully self-explanatory but cut = CLIP, committee = BOARD and a clipboard is a writing aid.
Interesting discovery of the day: My intended clue was for "snookered" but apparently the word has a completely different meaning in U.S. English where it means conned rather than stymied.
