I suspect that that "reason" might be illegal in some shape or form... I'd do what PSB is recommending - call the papers. You'll probably have to have your photo taken looking either dejected or angry."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Brilliant idea - name and shame the numptiesOriginally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostThis is the biggest load of arse I've heard of in a long time - on the other hand you could see it as a lucky escape - what kind of a gang of morons are they likely to be to work for if they come up with this twaddle?
Ring the paper though - it'd make a great news story.

In 2006 unemployment declined to 3%, one of the lowest rates in Europe. Nevertheless, the almost total dependence on fishing means that the economy remains extremely vulnerable.
The introduction of Burger King in Tórshavn was widely publicized and a sign of the globalization of Faroese culture.
Actually, that was cruel of me. I deleted this text: "Since 2000, new information technology and business projects have been fostered in the Faroe Islands to attract new investment" and "In 2008, the Faroes made a $52 million dollar loan to Iceland, in light of the country's banking woes"
Also "Petroleum found close to the Faroese area gives hope for deposits in the immediate area, which may provide a basis for sustained economic prosperity." This is a worry. If they found oil, that's good. If they have found petroleum, then they are tapping into someone's else pipeline from a refinery. (Feck me, I've found an errorette on Wikipedia!)Last edited by BrowneIssue; 11 March 2009, 20:21.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

FFS, use another agent. Submit again with a decent agent (aka: a normal one who knows how to lie). Any agent worth his/her salt would easily bullsh1t over that one and get you a foot in the door.Last edited by Turion; 11 March 2009, 20:53. Reason: Use a British agent.
