My pimp would be most offended by your accusation, given that he's just furnished me with an agency-branded, leather-look 2008 pocket diary complete with gold writing on the outside. -
my gf always finds those great - she is old-fashioned and doesn't keep things on a computer!Originally posted by chicane View PostMy pimp would be most offended by your accusation, given that he's just furnished me with an agency-branded, leather-look 2008 pocket diary complete with gold writing on the outside.Comment

I've previously had a lunch or two and a leatherette diary. One agency brought in a load of tins of quality street for the contractors and bottles of cheap fizz for the managers.Comment

Well I have been taken out for a medium cappucino this week if that counts.Originally posted by ~Craig~ View PostOwn up then, who has got any kind of gift from their Pimp/Agency at Christmas?
There must be a few of you out there who have received the odd ham....
The best gift would actually be paying my invoices on time!!Comment

I did receive an offer for a meal in an Italian restaurant, but politely told the pimp "I don't accept gifts on principle". He asked me to elaborate so, I said, "Gifts can beholden people, and I don't like owing anybody anything".
He got the message.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
