    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)

    There must be a few of you out there who have received the odd ham....
    Well I have been taken out for a medium cappucino this week if that counts.
    The best gift would actually be paying my invoices on time!!

    oooh I take that back then!

    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.

    Is that something to do with punching them in the neck then?
    I believe 2@ is text speak for ****.

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