        "Rather than having people giving you funny looks all day in the office, Let me, a complete stranger, tell you that you've still got the label attached to your top"...
        Were you grinning, standing very close, with wild eyes, and with dribble running down the sides of your mouth when you said it.

          What are they - large furry black caterpillars, wild, unkempt Einsteins, or have you braided them again?

            Steady on, I don't think I was dribbling!

              They were unkempt Einsteins until, unbelievably, my hairdresser, without saying a word, trimmed them for me!

                Look, just check what you are going to shake before you do it. That's my advice.
                Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

                  i also am a bit confuddled,

                  is it a black guy complaining about a possible racist white interviewer?
                  is it a white guy complaining about a possible racist black interviewer?
                  is it just a useless candidate who didnt get the job and is looking for race reasons?

                  and if it is any of the above, what's your point?

                  are you looking for sympathy? on CUK?
                  Ooh look, a black chef.

                  Whatever next.

                    1. I am white
                    2. The term “other color” was used so that we can discuss irrespective of our colors. ( which obviously didn’t happen)
                    3. I don’t have problem with black/yellow/brown people because what matter is the character not the color. ( Are you getting annoyed already by the word color ? ). There is too much white tulip on this earth.
                    4. I refuse to grow up.
                    5. I didn’t lose the interview solely because of the black/white situation. It is just the first time I’ve encountered one.
                    6. Why the feck someone has to get banned ? Is this thread worse than the ATM thread ?
                    7. DS23, Unconnected body movement is an advanced technique studied at high school. Be patient.
                    8. Thanks SA for the support.
                    9. Now complete the “My color is” poll. > http://forums.contractoruk.com/light...my-colour.html

                      That would be the simpsons I assume or are you referring to someone else?
