    I liked it when another agent said it was much easier to get leads off candidates! In other words it is ok to waste our time but not other agents.

    Good old Regressive, do find it funny when one pimp gets all high handed with another one for daring to try it on with him. Its like Harold Shipman complaining that Charles Manson is coming across all serial killer-ry

    But it's handy when a film character uses it in a horror film, because then you know they'll die.

    Mind you, alarm bells should have rung louder as soon as he called me "buddy"!

    It may sound a bit of an eccentric view, but I think there's something weird and slightly creepy when British people call one "buddy". Like "pal", it often seems like a sign of passive aggression at the very least and sometimes outright hostility, although "mate" isn't so bad.
    It's "Dude" I can't stand. Your not Dennis Hopper or a Surfer or living in SanFranFookingCisco. I'll accept it from a Turtle in Finding Nemo but that's it.
