    My agent bought me lunch and a pint today

    Really he did.

    Cost him a just over a tenner, really good value for him considering his company has made 3.5k+ in the last 3 months from my efforts.

    So agents are cheapskates.

    Lets face it, I got the rate I asked for, I'm happy.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    He was probably hoping you would leave your phone on the table while you went for a pee so he could dump your address book to his phone. Did he ask you about previous employment history at all?

      I hope he made the waiter show him his passport and the restaurant's VAT certificate and certificate of incorporation before he paid the bill.

        He probably refused to pay the bill until he'd got two references out of the poor sod

          My agency has made over £100,000 from my services at this one client over the past few years.

          I don't even get a Christmas card, let alone a pint!

            How much have you made? Do you send them a card?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Parasites are always stingy.
