      Whenever a pimp tries to sell a low rate on the grounds that the client will "look good on my CV" I'm tempted to say "I've already got X, Y and Z on my CV, so my rate goes up". In fact, if I ever have to deal with a pimp again I'm going to do that. Even if they don't spin the "good on your CV" line.

        junior pimp on the phone yesterday claimed he was from ARK (number withheld of course). Usual low on detail but exciting job description. When we got to the bit where he asked about other interviews and I said it was commercially confidential and none of his business. He goes quiet and says ok I guess that's it ... I started laughing at the junior pimp and said "So you didn't get what you wanted" and he just hung up.

        Sometimes it's just satisfying, naughty but satisfying ...

        Also why do these guys always sound like they are calling from the ghetto as well? / Never a female as well.
        Heh heh they need this reminder now and again that we hold more cards than they like to think.
