Cheers Maynard, it is not without it's hardships and pitfalls, I struggle to convince friends with more spending power than me that I cannot just drop £300 on something frivolous anymore but as I said I do feel better for it. I would not even advocate other people doing the same thing, I think it's a very personal choice for people to enjoy their money (or lack there of) how they feel best doing so.

Why on earth should you be placed in a position where you have to struggle to convince someone that you don't want to spend any amount on anythting, it's got feck all to do with them….
Because it's their crazy birthday plans (a weekend in Lisbon). Screw that, I live in an old house which requires brickwork re pointing before it turns into an old rubble pile

I enjoy the word zealot, I shall use it this afternoon

Don't forget that it was a small equine-fixated dyslexic Japanese man's obsession which gave birth to the biggest audio phenomenon of the 1970s - the Walkman aka My Little Sony.

I'm going to have to jump in here. I've said it before but I think it is worth repeating. All that matters as to how a person dresses is that he feels comfortable within himself and within his peer group. I don't give a flying fuck if someone (male) wants to dress in smoke jumpers and a pink tutu, it's definitely not a look I could or would pull off, but so what - each to his own.
I know you're right, and this clearly makes you a better person than me, but i can't help thinking that men in their 40s wearing Jack Wills should leave it to 12 year old girls called Jemima.

"Sorry, have to repoint the house - next question?"

a wiser guy than me clowned how some of us look like the brawny dude all dressed up in our expensive flannels & i found it funny cause it's true.
Speak for yourself, dude. I don't dress like the Brawny paper towel guy.
I dress like a vagrant.

I don't have you flair for diplomacy G

I did, it was super tactful.

And what the listener may not grasp is that Giles just called them sorry.

I'm currently dealing with agents over three possible jobs.
-
Due to a lack of communication between agent and client, and things getting in the way, I've had a phone interview fall through twice now. OK, the client is in Australia, and I'm in the UK, but it's not that hard to sort out surely?
-
One other job is a short term project in Guildford. So the rate is lower than in London (where I live), and the commute is awkward and expensive.
-
The third is in London, and the agent was talking about a lower rate than my previous contract, despite it being a much shorter project. I've since seen it advertised at up to a bigger number than I've been submitted at. (Some renegotiation might be necessary.) Plus he was unwilling to accept that the best window for a phone interview would be tomorrow morning as I'm seeing company #2 in the afternoon.
I'm not really that bothered by any of the above. In fact, the continual hassle of dealing with recruitment agents is really putting me off working in this way.

been finding/hunting for plain copper zippo lighter but because it's no longer in production, ebay is the only way. problem is, those cheaper ones only does shipping within US while those that are willing to ship internationally, the bids go sky-high.
like those that only ships within US is going around USD30ish while the internal ones? USD100 and over.
