    Drove 3hrs to Sheffield, before interview spoke to agent "you're sure they want an IT PM" - "yes positive on that". You can guess the rest, 2 minutes in the interview room then back on the road

    I dialed the number, put in a 50p coin (which was worth a bit in those days), "Hello, is that Mr X", "Yes, is that G-JABS" followed by beep beep beep beep.
    I had no more money, and the line went dead, along with the prospects for the job.
    Calling yourself GJABS in 1992? So street, 20 years before your time. Respeck brav.

    PS. Why the white 4? Retarded?

    £86K, what were you doing at the interview, in the first place, wouldn't get out of bed for it.

    Most probably retarded, but not for that reason .

    No, its to give more space to the post, unfortunately it shows up in the mobile app, not on the site.

    NLUK particularly likes it

    This happened after the main office building nearby was evacuated due to street riots in London at the time. So I gave her a lift home.
    Did't get the permie post

    Always nice when they don't let you know, unless you like Newcastle
