Desperate and all as russell might be TM, I doubt he has reached the stage where he would consider hanging out down by the docks doing favours for Sailors. You have that particular niche safely tied down mate!

Wasn't going to hand out any of THOSE contacts (without at least getting a percentage).

Rothesay docks aren't busy enough for two anyway (except when the waverley comes in).

If I hear of owt, i'll let you know

And if things get disasterously bad, there's always SLC

Oh c'mon don't generalize, I am sure there are 1 or 2 good workers out of the billions that flood the UK and force rates down.

It was a generalization but definitely not aimed at you.

Remember work is a combination of quality, speed and price. You can have 2 of the three but never all of them. Bob tries to compete on both speed and price which means quality usually goes well tulip.

Good luck with you hunt but the market is scotland does seem to have gone dead. Sky were looking last month so you could try that although that is the joy that is Livingston.

much cheapness, plenty quickness and lots of reworkness to repair the utter crapness caused by 1 and 2.

Of course Sir. I do 23 hours a day at £5 per hour.

The last few jobs I've had have never been advertised so I usually just chase agents I know handle the right kind of stuff, but I've been lucky enough to go most of the last ten or so years with jobs coming from contacts/friends/blind luck. Don't really work in the coding market so would have no idea where to look anyway.

If I hear of owt, i'll let you know although where I am just now, your accent would be wrong and you're located on the wrong continent. Thought about changing your name to Bob ?

Yes, I will do the needful.

Bob

Thanks for trying, will give them a try, I usually put my latest CV on jobserve/jobsite and keep an eye on those for new jobs, then apply.

Ah, sorry dude. Was looking for airy fairy skills like OAT management and Test programme management.

I take it you've chased the usual agencies for stuff in and around Glasgow ? (Ajilon for Santander, Hudson for NAG) etc ?
