    Just ask them if they like films about gladiators. They will soon get the message.

      Just practise how to cut them off very quickly and put the phone down.

      Doesn't always work some call back.

      Then you have to put their number on your blocked list for a few days.

        Start telling them how worried you are about WWIII starting and how a bloke on a forum told you it'll be really soon and that you should prepare yourself to go off the grid.

        They won't call back.

          Just tell them you have some fava beans and a bottle of Chianti, and you're just looking for a suitable client

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            NLYUK just asks them what they are wearing, if they live near the docks and if they would like to pick up some extra money.

              I got a call for a 12 month contract.
              I said that' fine as I have my own Ltd company and a 1 year contract would do me good.
              He said they don't want a contractor as its just covering someone who is off on maternity leave for a year?
              So basically its a fixed term contract for 1 year only. Why would they want a Perm?

                  so they pay the same salary as their FTE but no benefits and can treat you as their B1tch.

                    In case the woman you are covering doesn't come back then they will offer you the permanent job if they don't make it redundant.

                    Also the woman you are covering doesn't have to take a year off.

                    So they are basically hedging their bets and you are likely to lose every way.
