    CUK Agent Numpty Award

    Has to be the one that just called me from Computer People.

    Him: I see you work with Unix, what's that?

    Me (bit taken aback at the sheer stupidity of this person): Err, it's an operating system, developed in the 1970's and still used extensively in the Enterprise...

    Him: If it's so old then why do people still use it?

    Jesus H. Christ.....

    Then followed a pathetic fishing exercise easily fenced off.....

    You should have told them it's propriety software to stop identity theft, hence the name Unix

    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      I wonder if they're being sponsored by the government to take loads of clueless kids off the street and "employ" them until polling day in order to keep the unemployment figures down?

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  ...

                  I just had a linked in mail from an agent with a degree in murial and stained glass design. She wanted to offer me a £35k permanent role.

                  Funny, perhaps she went to the same place for her education as Vera Duckworth.
