    Yes - more than once, although the only one I can actually remember was a chap called Sayed from Computer Personnel (sp?) who later turned up in the Apprentice. I doubt I was the only one, judging by his sales tactics, and I doubt he took it to heart, since he doesn't have one.

    So what is the contract rate for managing "water under a bridge?

    depends on the flow rate - a high flow rate needs more 'managing' thus a higher rate

    Exactly!!! Did the same to an agent, he layed low for a few weeks and came back with another role - said "water under the bridge, etc.".

    I've told more agents to feck off than I care to remember. They still crawl back and start sucking at you when they think you can make them some cash.

    Even talking about a blacklist being a load of crap, is that a load of crap?
