    Tip for the newbies, never give out your main mobile phone number to agencies, never put it on your CV. Have a PAYG mobile specially for agency calls. Then you never have to complain about recieving unsolicited calls.

    Jobs a good 'un

    I cant say I've ever noticed a lisp!!!! I'm really not the most observant person like, but I'd have thought I'd have picked up on that!
    I'll have to get her to say slippery snake next time I speak to her

    Both of them (especially Vaneeta) were absolutely 100% spot on.
    Are you sure you just didn't fancy a bit of 3 way mutual 'bean flicking'?

    I must admint most agents I've come across have been quite supportive, a couple were useless and one bloke I swear couldn't tell his @rse from his elbow even with the aid of an instruction book.
