    Shock! Horror!

    A pimp phoned me up about a contract in Swansea...

    There's a first time for everything I suppose.

        If there's one thing worse than a civil service contract, it's a civil service contract in Swansea, for utter crapitude it beats Newcastle, or even, believe it or not, Cheltenham.

        YMMV, but good luck, you'll need it (also some leather arm guards so you don't chew your own hands off.)

          Thanks for that, I've just applied to them, direct.

            If the choice is contracting in Swansea or permying somewhere else, then I'm sure you'll learn to like Swansea.

              I hope you applied!

              It might be your job!

                Zeity,

                Have you given up edukshun ????

                Good luck if you go for it.

                    This is the job that I got a mail about.

                    The agent hasn't phoned back.

                    I'm not too bothered, the location is not great for me

                    But if you don't want it, would appreciate the name of a "proactive" agent
