OK this probably will come as no surprise to anyone who has been in the game for a while but the sheer cheek of this guy got me. Yes I know I shouldnt have bothered responding but I had a moment of weakness :

His response back:
Thank you for wasting your time with a lengthy response which
generated great laughter throughout the office, your joke of an email
definitely compensated for the bad weather!
Please keep my details on file, I would love to receive another
hilarious rant from a jumped up geek who is part of a community which
put just over £85,000 in my back pocket last year and paid for my Audi
TT AND 4 week travelling trip across the USA.
Thank you again Terra, thank you for making a ?parasite? feel better about himself and for also making yourself look like an absolute mug with empty insults to a successful 19 year old you know nothing about
- You've made my day!
P.S - You've just pissed off a VERY well connected "Snake". Let's see
how easy it is for you to pick up your next contract.
Have a great week
