What have you got on the go?

That's why I always tell them "not too bad" and I have a few things in the pipe line ("oh yeah? Where?" Not of your ****** business!) but "nothing in an advanced stage yet" So they understand I'm sought after and need to act relatively quick, (in case they actually have a real contract) but not to drop me as I'm either a loser or will be taken off the market very soon

This is what I do too, it's about the best we can do to try and make sure we don't give them a tick in the "don't use this guy" column (assuming it's a real role they have of course).

"Oh you know, I would lying if I said I was not looking elsewhere"
"Couple of other irons in the fire but nothing at an advanced stage just yet"
"Market seems quite buoyant from my perspective"

Either one of those or mashups depending on how I feel. Don't give anything away but don't come off like a loser. It's all a game.
