    Pimp called me on Saturday!

    I've just heard the voicemail, no details apart from "please contact me"

    What's that all about?

    ...probably wants a couple of references

        Yep, sounds like he was on Autopilot mode, didn't realise it was the weekend. Having said that, there are a couple of "Urgent Contract" listed for Saturday 18 July - maybe the market really is picking up? Nah, can't be..

          Perhaps he's been given 5 days to save his job and he's trawling for his life- ?
          Or perhaps he fancies you?
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            Not unheard of for pimps to work at the weekend. Maybe he got a lead on Friday and wants some people to go back with on Monday before some other fecker nicks it. Or the client could just be wanting people quickly.

              I once had a pimp call me at 8 on a Sunday morning for a contract with a stunningly good rate. I was suddenly wide awake

              Then the idiot realised I didn't live in London and started making excuses. "So what?", said I, as I could rent a decent pad for the duration, but no, he wasn't having it.

                Which proves what muppets certain agents are.

                  Sounds promising, a call on Saturday.

                  I had a call on a Saturday evening (7pm) earlier this year. I got the gig.

                    Not that I'm interested in the gig, but I am intrigued. I'll not bother calling him, I'm sure he'll be in touch again...
