How the hell did you get the gig?!

[Charles Foster Kane]

everyone called him Nige (his name wasn't Nigel).

What are you blathering on about?

[Dow Jones]

Nige

Nige - pronounced naij - short for Nigerian, geddit?

I did get it actually, was just hoping I was mistaken and that wasn't the case.

Why? How's that offensive? I've been called Scotty plenty of places I've been. Oh let me guess, it's because I'm white, I'm not allowed to take offence.

You're not from London are you?

It seems this guy survives by asking questions & bulls**tting his way round everything else to me. It's got to the point where I am thinking of invoicing him rather than the client!

Anyone else have a clueless blagger bugging them & how many times do you roll your eyes & think "how the bloody hell did you get this gig" in a day?!

You have to learn the art of avoidance mate.
He's probably got you sussed as someone who he can easily pump for info.

Are you sure you're not feeling the need to "prove" how good you are to him?

Anyway, whatever your driver to tell him everything you know, he's probably planning on getting the kudos from those that matter whilst making sure you're never mentioned in despatches.

The only way to combat this is to do the following
- Feign ignorance.
- Say you're too busy
- Arrange a time and then cancel it (go on holiday etc)

Under no circumstances, lose your rag with him.
He's only doing his job.

Its not all about showing how good you are.

Shhhh. You shouldn't give that away for free. See what you've done there? Fell into the very trap you're describing; by describing it. Brilliant. Now explain that to the Yanks. Multi-layered irony.
