    Wanna know what ex agents become....

    cabbies in Swindon!
    I was talking to the cabbie on my way back to clientco yesterday and it he told me he used to be a recruitment agent, he also told me he likes to wear the latest designer gear, but has to go to Reading to get it and he also mentioned his souped up motor that he's spent loads on for all the extras.

    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

    I hope you demanded to see his VAT certificate before you paid him.

        I had a cabbie in North Wales who had been a member of the Royal Protection Squad (which was when he shagged Princess Di), was in the SAS and was a Police marksman. He was still on a special emergency call-up in case of anyone needing rescuing during a revolution.

        He spent a few years driving prison vans and he used to beat up the really hard prisoners to sort them out because the prison officers did not know how to deal with them.

        He used to drive InterCity 125s but was bored.

        He now drives a minicab because it's a way to keep himself amused because he does not need to sleep.

        I reckon he was bulltulipting about shagging Princess Di. It was probably just tips 'n' tops.

          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Did I ever mention the time I flew my fighter jet back from Italy with a bowl of spaghetti balanced on my lap?

              I don't know what they become, but I do know they entered recruitment when the bottom fell out of the second hand car market.

                    Yep, if you see a godlike agent, that's not rain.
