    Ok fair enough
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      For me, market is better than a few months ago.

      Support monkey - last autumn 6 weeks between gigs, two face-face interviews and one phone, all different prospects, before success.

      This time, one week, one phone interview and start on Monday

        I think that there are many more real jobs like.

        p.s. did I use the construct "like" in the proper way? Thanks.

            I tend to agree. The market was terrible just before Christmas, but then again it's mostly quiet around that time. I'm starting to find more roles becoming available and receiving more phone calls for roles too. So fingers crossed. Demand is slightly increasing but I'm not getting carried away yet.
            I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

                    History will reeal that the credit crunch was nothing more than a bunch of IT recruitment agents who entered a conspiracy then downtalked the economy in order to raise their margins and profits.

                    Dont believe the hype - dont accept rate cuts - in fact demand more .

                    More - yes MORE.

                      Indeed, higher rates to compensate for credit risk in supplying to struggling agents and bust banks.
