I have on BBC News 24, they just said it's "10 hours" to the next strike. Perhaps some are leaving earlier than others, who knows.
The strike is a really pain in the arse for us because it means we can't work outside normal University hours, including this weekend and the Saturday after next, which means we have to put off large experiments etc.
My sympathies. Labour is absolutely helpless and hopeless in all this.
Its a bloody nightmare finding postdoctoral research positions at the moment too. My current one runs out in February and if I don't get something lined up soon I will have to resort to teaching undergraduates statistics and basic computing skills, even though my PhD is in Molecular Microbiology. I'm looking around for postdoctoral work in the USA, its amazing how much competition for posts there is here in Britain.
On average there are 300 applications for every IT job posted on British web boards. Gordo should be cutting taxes and regulation as fast as he can.

You have an advantage over me there Ivan. I can only get terrestrial TV and only four channels. Channel 4 gives lousy reception here and I can't even receive Channel 5, still I suppose I'm not missing much considering its tastes!
