I was collating some decent tunes for you to drive to. I assumed this driving might be undertaken in a vehicle capable of attaining a decent top end. Had I known you were simply attempting to cobble together a medley of morose dross to listen to whilst you perambulated about in a Mobility scooter, I would have pitched the tracks accordingly.

And to the boy Griffin, call the agent back and call them a ****. Not only will it make you feel much better, but it will be the first foot on the road to toughening up a bit.

And when the bedwetter in chief calls for you to toughen up, you really are a soggy mess.

In fact I am a reluctant contractor. And then I also said it wasn't an IT vacancy. I probably smell like IT from a distance now.

A real contractor would have realised this, and not even deemed this worthy of a post.

Sounds more like a sign of you winding them up somehow in a previous call.

Why would anyone want to ask about a vacancy anyway?

The advert said: "To apply for this vacancy phone Mr XXX at 01XXX-XXX" and that was my fiirst call.

Some agents can be rude / sound like they're sniffing white stuff off a toilet seat.

Any agency that is tooooo animated to receive a simple call is probably a coked up body shopping bag of tulipe.

If it looks roughly OK on the ad, and you have the skills, and it seems what and where you want for the right rate, just apply for it.
