    I know of some, but most keep it quiet; there's a bit of a 'reverse snobbery' thing in the UK so I can understand why.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Oh the world owes me a living
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum
      Oh the world owes me a living
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum

      If I worked hard all day I might
      Sleep badder when in bed at night
      I sleep all day so that's alright
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum

      There once was an old grasshopper
      Who could only think of fun
      He looked on work as something too
      Unpleasant to be done

      He loved to sit in the summer sun
      And fiddle all day long
      While dozing there he played this air
      And singed this little song

      The north wind blew the leaves away
      When winter came one stormy day
      The snow fell fast upon the ground
      No food nor shelter could be found

      This old grasshopper sad and weak
      Could hardly hop or view his feet
      He slipped, He fell
      Poor Chap, Farewell

      Some ants stayed in their hilly home
      Looked out and saw him sneezing
      They soaked his feet in mustard sauce
      He grew better soon
      Now every day they hear him play
      And sing this little tune

      Oh I owe the world a living
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo!
      Oh I owe the world a living
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo!

      I got a bad cold in my head
      You ants were right the time you said
      You've got to work for all you get
      Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          I heard somebody saying to me something along these lines on the street yesterday... although I think it may have been:

          "Any spare change please sir?"

                  It's about time a website was created to render agents useless.

                  A site where clients post contract roles and contracts post CV's/profile/availability etc.

                  The system would match them up each day depending on the info. Small monthly charge for posting roles/CV's.

                    Maybe because that is all they know? If your grandfather and father were well educated and had a successful business career, you are going to expect at least as much out of life.
