Just had a call from an agent for a gig. He phoned me 2 days ago and offered me an interview for this and I said then that the rate was not worth it for me. So I just got off the phone to him again and he offered me the EXACT same role..................... wait for it.................... at a lower rate!!!!! So I kindly asked Mr Incompetent to remove me from his database!!!

That's shocking. How dare he not remember you personally amongst the 400 people he'd phoned over those two days. carry on like that and agents are going to get a reputation for not being infallible.Comment

Master Kangan pointed to the mountain and said to Daichi: "You speak of mind over matter -- then let's see you move Mt. Fuji."Originally posted by HankWangfordmail him the infamous question "how do you move Mt Fuji"
Wordlessly the young disciple pulled the shoji screen across their view.
The Master smiled as Daichi slapped him up the side of the head. "You had to use your hands."
Silently Daichi closed his eyes.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

You're kidding?! And did you? I wnder what he would have used them for...getting the cheapest person the job no doubt.
I'm fairly convinced one of the lads on here is an agent, as he's always tapping me up for job leads under the "I'm a newbie" premise.
I'm always amazed at the extend to which they'll go...quite admirable really, in an "i hate them" sort of way.The pope is a tard.Comment
