As for the MoneySupermarket Frames.... Grrrr I used to work for them and set up a lot of affiliates for them. When I left I set up an affiliate and they changed the system, only IFrames now. I know it's tulipe but it only gets about 5 people a month and I cant think of a decent way to remove the frames. At least not a decent simple way that I have the time to do.Comment

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.”Comment

I had a great one this morning...
Agent advertised a role where I didn't seem to have the principal skill. I told him he was wasting his time (and mine by inference). Still he managed to persuade the client to do a telephone interview this morning. First question was "do you have 3 years hardcore [required skill]?" Nope I said, I told the agent I didn't but he said that was fine. "Sorry but whilst your CV looks really good I need a hardcore [required skill]". Bye.
Agent then phoned up full of the joys of spring asking how it went. I told him it exceeded my expectations. It lasted a whole 3 mins (1 minute laughing between me and client) whereas I was expecting nearer 30 secs. Agent puts phone down.
Can't see the client going near this agency again in a hurryLast edited by boxman; 12 October 2007, 14:43.Comment
