Don't really know why this is considered news, surely we all knew that the ISPs and VSPs would be applied globally. Irish employment law means that we can't get walked off campus like happens in the USA; we have to be given significant notice. But I can't imagine why any country would be exempt from VSP / ISP at least.
@ssf: Lol re: is it like a bar stool. On tenterhooks means in a state of uneasy suspense or painful anxiety according to dictionary.com.
Wait. They have some options. They can always start a new rock band, or perhaps open a micro brewery.
Gotta ask what is a tenterhook? Is it like a bar stool?
The pubs will be full today.
welcome to the club lads
