I suspect that he has knocked up a reciept for your meal and is adding it to his Christmas bonus - I know I would if I was in his position.

I did receive an offer for a meal in an Italian restaurant, but politely told the pimp "I don't accept gifts on principle". He asked me to elaborate so, I said, "Gifts can beholden people, and I don't like owing anybody anything".
He got the message.
Yes I am sure he did.. but not the message you were tryng to give.....

I pimped for Hays in Leeds for 2 years. One Christmas I was bought a cup of coffee in a bar in Greek St.
Complete tw@s. I know they were skimming at least 25% (it was my first contract and I was bit green in them days)

Well I have been taken out for a medium cappucino this week if that counts.Originally posted by ~Craig~ View PostOwn up then, who has got any kind of gift from their Pimp/Agency at Christmas?
There must be a few of you out there who have received the odd ham....
The best gift would actually be paying my invoices on time!!

I've previously had a lunch or two and a leatherette diary. One agency brought in a load of tins of quality street for the contractors and bottles of cheap fizz for the managers.

my gf always finds those great - she is old-fashioned and doesn't keep things on a computer!Originally posted by chicane View PostMy pimp would be most offended by your accusation, given that he's just furnished me with an agency-branded, leather-look 2008 pocket diary complete with gold writing on the outside.

Not quite sure to punch a pimp - do you think neck is ok? Where is DodgyAgent when you need him...
