    Cut agents out of the loop ten years before I did. Go direct.

        Take water with my whisky.

        But I always knew who I shouldn't get drunk with if I wanted to keep my contract.

        Which was a better solution I suppose.

          I'd have bought more houses, avoided the stock market and had more drugs, alcohol & hookers though.

              Oh plus I would have never created a user profile on CUK.

                I would never have trusted my permie managers to do right by the staff.
