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.” -
For me, market is better than a few months ago.
Support monkey - last autumn 6 weeks between gigs, two face-face interviews and one phone, all different prospects, before success.
This time, one week, one phone interview and start on Monday

I tend to agree. The market was terrible just before Christmas, but then again it's mostly quiet around that time.
