Why one should read job specs carefully

Because then you won't spend half an hour filling in the application and carefully crafting a cover note that matches the required skills to your experience, only to hit the final criterion of 'Fluency in English and another language a prerequisite'.

Well, I can manage about 1.2 of those 2, depending on how generous you are as to my French. But I don't think that's quite going to cut it.

For the Watchmen obsessives out there

Does anyone have the definite story on the release of the Watchmen DVD? From what I can tell, we are only getting the cinematic release on DVD in the UK. The Director's Cut (with half an hour of extra footage) seems only to be coming out in the USA, and the Super-Duper Fanboy Cut (as above plus intercut animated Tales of the Black Freighter) is due out even later.

Region 1 DVD is no problem for me, but will I have to order from the US, or is someone likely to be stocking the US Director's Cut release over here?
