Sell the rights to your body for medical testing.

what hippy means to says is, he'll give you £3.50 a month to be his personal slave. 
hard luck john, however im sure a handy guy like yourself will get a job soon (testing food springs to mind as a good possibility?!)
all the best.

A hostile takeover eh..
or just set up another doing the same thing. What were you doing anyway? The guy who left probably knew something.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Only made a mill in the first year !!!!The boss must be a real arse wipe doesnt he know it takes time to build a business.
A lot of the companies I do work for seem to think that its a requirement of business that you start on Monday and lease a Merc on Tuesday whether
they can afford it or not, they deserve to fail.
Steal the c**ts customers and go for it yourself.
Cheers,
Bob

I'm a qualified geologist (I have a degree in geology anyhow if this counts). I just never practiced and ended up in the IT industry. Am I
missing out on something Conrod ?

probably a bit rusty on that front now conrod. Bit of a big blag to advise people on whether their buildings are about to fall down, when you
haven't looked core samples or microscope sections for over 15 years !
But maybe I could brush up.................
