    Well done but did anyone doubt your ability to sell yourself?

    What promotional offer did you use this time?

    Right, so thats three interviews and three offers. Of course, I cancelled the 1st two out my playing them against each other and then lost both, so this time I accepted immediately.

    I'll tell you what though! This 100% interview to offer rate I have over 13 years is beginning to weigh a little heavy around my neck.
    Well done. Good rate? Doing what?

    Dont remember you doing that. I would have chucked £10 your way, but I want 90% of the business. Otherwise I'm out.

    Actually, I've always thought yours was the best plan B idea as in theory, it could be huge. Unluckily the main failure point would be yourself, not the technology. Ever thought of hiring someone more credible to front the operation up?

    Hey, I can do that.

    I write a load of old toot for a living. Most of it is automated. I could take a feed from the telegraph choose something that mentions speculation somehow, append some random nonsense, and post it here. Simples!
