      Well done. When you say out bid do you mean your rate was undercut?

          You can stop pimping the mice on the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ now.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            Yep, twice. Rates seem to have tipped a bit. Still 10% down is better than earning nothing and slowly emptying the company account!

            Yes it was a weak Plan B
            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.”

                The rubber doll must have been getting slightly worn, eh? Now you can replace her with one that has massive bristols. Well done.
                PS Is this a pharma sector role?

                  I intended to have a couple of months off, but it's turned into 4. Looking since Feb, had a couple interviews but the market has shifted downward and my refusal to accept that hasn't helped.

                  Yes it is a Pharma role, pretty sick of Pharma, but escape routes don't seem to be forthcoming unless I go back permie first
