    The comments are quite good too.

    The guy's living on planet gaga. He missed out point 6.

      Had a good one yesterday from Reed.

      Reed pleb called up ..hi how are you blah...just checking on your situation.
      Me: just started looking for a new role, only posted my CV yesterday.
      Reed pleb: So any interviews lined up any thing in the pipe line?
      Me: No today's only the first day of looking
      Reed pleb: audible sigh - clatter of receiver being put down.

        Just slap em round the head with a red herring so they waste their time chasing things that don't exist.

        "Yeah, I've put myself in for that job in xxxx which I think is company X, and I had a call about a xxxxx job in xxxxx but the rate wasn't very good so I'm waiting to see if they'll come back to me"

        Hours of fun.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I think in my imagination I was spinning it out into some sort of "Our Man in Havana" scenario.
