    I am negotiable on my rate now. But it still doesnt help if there's no jobs.

    Plan B? Hmmm, yep I keep wracking my brain trying to find such a niche.
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

      Well yes. If I had had a profitable Plan B, I would have done it years ago.

        If you're good with the hammer and nails, how about making benches? Seems to be quite a demand


        (seriously though, people are still spending on garden stuff according to Son1 who works weekends at a garden centre)

        Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

          I think I might stick to my guns for a while more and then drop and switch.
          I would fire your CV off to both and see what comes of it.

            I've got a contract job for you, possibly leading to a permanent employment: for a fiver a month I need someone to cover me on CUK and post "My Lunch" threads, as well as some others (not "SKA News" though, I'll do it myself), interested?

              Wow! You'd pay half of your monthly salary for someone to cover you? You moneybags!

                    Hey, I can do that.

                    I write a load of old toot for a living. Most of it is automated. I could take a feed from the telegraph choose something that mentions speculation somehow, append some random nonsense, and post it here. Simples!

                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
