        Nah. Sas is more like the little bald geezer.

        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                If I earn 50p/h and work 5 days a week at 7.5 hours. Over a year, assuming in this case 46 weeks and bearing in mind you don't do overtime, plus you spend only 5 quid per day on subsistence on high fibre food, how much has the client paid you when you have been set on the crapper having a dump?

                Please show your workings.

                  Sharpen up that man, it's just agency talk for 'they don't want you'. Usually they just avoid the conversation (if you get the job trust me they phone you 0.1 seconds after the client tells them).
                  Same as blokes can't take a hint from a woman not interested in them till she spells it out, contractors need to get 'closure' by hearing it from the agent.
                  They don't want an argument with someone who has just made it onto the 'can't make me money' list so they avoid the call - he/she isn't in/meeting/out all day blah blah. If you still keep pushing they sweeten the punch - Client liked you except for one slight detail/has decided to withdraw role/budget cut/internal candidate preferred etc etc.
                  All these mean NO, you didn't get the role.
                  This is a confidence game so choose to believe the mainly positive feedback and stay upbeat, do you really want to hear you are wierd, smelly, thick, arrogant, ugly or useless ?
