  1. Ok. And then I'll post payment demands up on here. I can sense that you're too polite.
  2. Gol, I reckon if you let us know the cost you'd get a few to donate. Haway, spill the beans.
  3. How much? 184919[/snapback] PM me too. Or stick the details up on here and I'm sure we can work something out. I'll donate via that paypal thing. If a few of us club together is it a low enough sum that we can sort it out between us?
  4. I had a roofer round mine a while back who reckons it can go on for over a week as the things go batshit in there trying to get out until they eventually die of starvation. Enjoy!
  5. 1. My only concern today is getting through to hometime with no one asking me to do any work. 2. I had two trackers and a time out for breakfast. 3. I got into work half an hour EARLY. 4. The bread buns I had to make my lunch with had spots of mould on them, so I'm going to the canteen instead. 5. Despite 2. I'm still getting a bacon sarnie when the canteen opens.
  6. Do you still remember it? I'd forgotten pretty much every word when I went back to learn it, though I may not have been the best of students... Anyway, even without the benefits of A-level French one might make the giant leap of translating one letter! 184226[/snapback] The place I worked last year ran compulsory language classes, so I took up the French again and was amazed how much came flooding back.
  7. I've got French A-Level, darling. I translated it as Bob Sponge and just left it at that.
  8. Oh I see, it's Spongebob. I just thought it had a shit name and ruled it out on that basis.
  9. I remember studying that at University as part of my economics course on Game Theory.
  10. My mate works for a biotech company in Northern California if you fancy a serious change of scenery, Renton?
  11. I fail to see how he can tailor the CV too much without even knowing who the employer is tbh. Obviously you would attempt to tailor it as close as possible to the job title, but without much in the way of a job description you're gonna be struggling - at the risk of leaving something out that they might be looking for, I'd be putting as much in as possible without making it overly long.
  12. Don't worry about tailoring it if the advert is that vague. Just fill your CV with any and everything you think will be relevant and send it in. I do all of my job applications through a recruiter (Nigel Wright in the town), and as far as I'm aware they send the same CV out to everyone on my behalf.
  13. Strange that jobs like that should be predominantly based anywhere. Sounds like ideal work-from-home work to me.
  14. What do you do currently Renton, if you dont mind me asking? 183580[/snapback] The clue's in the username.
  15. Clapham Common specifically?
  16. Peasepud BLATANTLY setting up dodgy porn sites tbh.
  17. My mate's dad lives in London and drives up to Newcastle in his old banger once a year for a service, because the bloke he knows doesn't charge him for his oil change.
  18. Don't bring us problems, Fish, bring us solutions. Have you sold any windows yet or not? The clock is ticking and as we've heard nothing about successful deals yet, I'm starting to have some pretty serious doubts about the £28k p.a. talk. By the way, I bet you're absolutely WRECKED finally having to go to work every day.
  19. Dont wish your days away Gemmill, life is so short as it is! 183228[/snapback] I wish every work day away, and will continue to do so until my lottery numbers come up. The most sickening thing about it all is how fast the weekends fly by. Surely life isn't meant to be 5/7ths drudgery?! 183352[/snapback] No it isnt So change it! Try and find a job you actually enjoy We have an extremely short life, and you're wasting yours by only living for the weekends. 183400[/snapback] I've got to the stage now where I'm getting paid too much in accountancy and have too much debt to start off at the beginning in anything else. I did think about joining a recruitment consultancy that specifies in placing accountants - they tend to hire accounting professionals, so have to pay decent wages, but I didn't pursue it. Might have a look into it, but I'm worried it would be like a bit of a sales job. Will see how it goes here for a bit - could end up having more of a business role and less of an accounting role before too long anyway, which would be a change if nothing else. 183409[/snapback] Gemmill...this all sounds incredibly dull You're tied to what you do at the moment because of money, it always boils down to money...these tribes that move around, find a new spot and build a house in a day have a lot going for them!! No debt, no mortgage, no bills... At least whilst you're at work you can come and play on Toontastic 183418[/snapback] Everything boils down to money. True though, at least I can come on here.
  20. I'm ignoring your jibes btw, peasepud.

  23. Check it out kids. I'm not ginger either - it's normally a crushing blow when people arrive at a piss-up expecting to see a fat ginger monster, only to be confronted by a handsome specimen like myself. 183002[/snapback] When magpiespaw came to a piss-up and we were discussing your gingerness (or lack thereof) at the chip van outside The Trent there was a kid in the queue who was bright ginger and staring at us 183005[/snapback] And no, Renton, I haven't saved it you plank. It's still in the thread where you wrote it. 183008[/snapback] Well I'm glad at last my opinion means so much to you. 183017[/snapback] I value experience and your experience being a fatty adds weight (wahey) to your opinion. 183023[/snapback] Still less heavy than you though, just not scraping my head off the ceiling. I dread to think what Peasepud is like! 183033[/snapback] He's pretty much grotesque.
