Oh dear. Just oh dear. Without doubt he was ringing you to help you, perhaps do a canvass on you based on your skills, if you had've spoken to me in a snooty manner, I would've told you to fuck off. They are there to help you. To be fair Stevie, some of them are just salesmen arseholes. I've spoken to plenty in my time, and had them try to tell me I should take jobs I didn't want cos "I don't think you're really in a position to be choosy". All cos the prick wanted his commission. There's bad uns as well as good uns. Well that's not how I operate, I have candidates from three years ago ring me up just for a chat about life/football or whatever. It's shit that mugs get us a bad name. You have to build rapport. I've got one candidate in the toon who I meet for a pint and would class him as a mate now, even though he's a heed the baal, shags 50 different women a year - was last shaggin a mackem who he dumped in Gran Canaria. You meet some quality candidates in this game, it also strengthens the generic idea of what people are like from different areas, and the stereotypes are very often true. Stevie - dunno if you're based in NE or which field you specialise in with recruitment, but looking for reccommendations/contacts up here in NE ? Keeping it brief - Stuck in bit of a nightmare having been redundo for a while now . From a design/construction/project management role and not getting very far at all with agencies registered with - (*stops t think* might be me CV's shite like !?) Not looking to relocate - mortgage, done time working away etc etc Im sure you're plenty busy but any pointers very much apreciated (maybe send a PM ?) Cheers for your time What facet of the Construction industry are you in mate, main contracting? Bricks and Mortar? M&E? FM? The worst thing about a cv is if an employer see's it and there's like 8 companies in the last 10 years. Most won't touch you, if you have a good background and stability, there's no reason why you can't be placed though. I'll tell you now though the NE is fucking dead right now, I've got two big vacs on Tyneside right now, an estimating role I can find no cunt for cos they're paying a paltry 28k when it's a 40k position, and QS role. If you'd work outside the NE, and you're in my facet I could help you, certainly do sniffing anyway. I can't go in depth now cos am working, finish at 7, I'll concentrate on you then and see what I can do. Hey cheers man . Specific role hard to describe as mostly been a 'jack of all' and mainly within small companies with no interest in rewarding staff/developing them professionally but gave quite high level responsibility . "Design and lightweight project management in architecture/commercial leisure interiors" probs best sums it up . New builds, design&builds, refurbs/fitouts. Bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels . As well as some 'colourful' (shady) operators, some canny bluechip(?) clients/contractors - Ask,Zizzis,Chiquitos,Frankie&Bennys . Big involvement in new build hotel at Ncle Airport with Shepherds (no not the freddie dynasty !) - stuff like that. Local authority applications - planning, signage,building control . Daily client/contractor liason/instruction .The odd guvvy house extension etc etc . Also involved in costings, obtaining quotes and placing orders, dealing with accounts depts and invoicing, producing spec docs , writing n distributing minutes ... Like i say - was very varied and problem i'm finding is the 'transferable skill' carry on . Hard to convey on CV so probs reads wishy-washy as I changed it to be a bit more holistic in hope of spreading the net as it were . Mostly got the jobs through word of mouth/ rather than CVs sent . I aint even fussed about staying in that field (and as you say its dead as the proverbial up here) . Anyhoo - there's no rush mate and really apreciate any pointers as and when . HTL ! Andy

Ta for that , hopefully can help - his forthrightness is a welcome rarity in my experience of some of these agencies like !

Ashley addresses fans . . and explains tenure . . via piano !?

" . . divnt tell uz - yuv fund a pub at the borrum o' the garden . . and the manager's a pixie . . and the beer's free !?? . . WELL DONE LONDON (throwing of boot)

no they got him to sign it so they would save a 3m quid payout to him. I'm just starting reading this thread, apologies if I find someone else has posted this. Aye...and he was happy to sign...as your post on going to an ambitious club suggests. Anyone thinking he had tears in his eyes as he signed is daft. Makes me think of The Simpsons when Homer weeps as he's eating pinchy, his pet lobster. "He tastes so good!" *sob* ". . its what Pinchy(pockets) would have wanted"

I like the cut of your jib. I still can't get over Craig's teeth like. Proper Tim Nice But Dim. . .clearly had the fuckin things installed as 'prime advertising space' . Clackers by Sports Direct .

RE Gazette article - I genuinely cannot believe the sheer neck of these warts . Shouldnt believe a word . 'You go out there with your slowly delivered, pre-rehearsed pig wet and that should do it. Theyll buy that . Remember - deliver it with a slow, emphatic drawl - it appears more plausible then . . See y down the frog n toad after for a game of krapps' . Dont make me laugh man . Pepare for even worse vaccuous soundbites from him later too . . Sky were their warmup act last night with the goofy man's lame and transparent attempt to soften the blow with the insomnia joke followed by a 'signing off with a positive' saying watch this space in the summer WATCH MIKE GO , moneys burning a hole etc etc . Its same psychology as playing the bandits - on last credit, make a few lights flash/tease with the punter . . and back theyll come with another coin in the slot . Bunch of Ben Sherman shoed cockneywalkabout living horrors .

Insomnia debacle was nowt more than a classless 'loadsamoney-esque' waving of wad to DW . Its where the odious freak gets his kicks .

who's facebook posting is that mate ? (im not into it/familiar with folks' post names on there - {aye i know who wraith is but wouldnt know a facebook name ?} ) ta

ahh this is turning into a right fuckin 'finger through the bogpaper' caper all this like insomnia bid - that just a further windup by the cancerous balloon ?!

exactly. the goofy fuckin smoker of fat men .

Tek'er't'the'menders ?

- Elmander? - I wouldnt even buy her a drink .

Remember hearing a rather emotional Gazza on Metro Radio just after Spurs transfer confirmed . If remember right he'd even brought in a carry out and could hear the "t'ch" going off every now and then ! Honest . Nicky Brown show or summat i think ? Was live and he spoke rather candidly about the whole thing . ...Point being - imagine something like that happening thesedays man !?

can o'clock

Nope. We're gonna need them. Still have a horrible feeling its going through. .....keep a'had . all just sky rattling a tin of fog for the betting market man ...........isn't it

Is it too early t start on the cans ?

Not yet. I'm going to have to wait until it's released, O2 throttling all my torrents 24/7 with them for another 11 months too! What's the Cold War Kids album like? i've heard it's got pretty poor reviews? I've not listened to it yet Yeah Cold War Kids album bit of a 'nowt nor summat' affair in the main. Got a listen of My Chapel Club and aint too bad - single Surfacing standout track .

"For those viewers watching in black and white, the pink ball is just behind the green."

just . . 'epic' ! They played it at last Newcastle gig . Made me fuckin year -probably me favourite Doves track . Pretty sure it's a live take and just sends a shiver down me spine every time I hear it . Went to see Bongo n them at Twickenham few year back and they were a surprise support. Baking hot day , sun bleaching down and was sat just about centrally on the pitch blowing the foam off a few in a near empty stadium . Was almost like a private gig - pretty special it was too ! . . Then Athlete came on . . oh heull

Big Super Furries fan but first listen of Gryff's new Hotel Shampoo album bit of a let down sadly. Love this track and vid though Cold War Kids - Goodnight Tennessea Anyone given My Chapel Club album a run out yet /seen it about?
