"You’ll be higher in the foodchain than Chris, the bloke who fixes our computers."

i read your email, remember that. And given that I don't eat meat, your comment is litterally correct, at least on a non-moral level.

Watch it Chris. Anymore out of you and we'll send you to the Rocket Monkey's office for a verbal warning. He could probably do with a cup of tea while you're at it.

Wakefield?

F**k. That's like... more North than Sheffield. I was under the illusion that Spong'd have a sprawling open plan number in London's Fashionable East London where it would be easier for industry types to take you on press junkets to see Le Mis.

I don't suppose there's any chance of doing this job remotely?

SPOnG has a small closed plan office in London's fashionable Hampton Court, which is more Surrey really, though is in the London Borough of... *checks final Council Tax reminder* ...Elmbrisge.

This office does news and dealing with money and marketing/PR types. Wakefield looks after the proper museum bit.

And, no, not remotely. I don't think.

Never mind then, I'll stick to the freelancing. 'Minimum Wage In Wakefield' sounds like a line Half-Man Half-Biscuit would sing

You work in an office which has four girls in it, guaranteeing you daily interaction with the fairer sex. This in turn will make you a more rounded (and possibly cleaner) individual than you are today, leading to a life of married bliss and dog-walking within a matter of years!


Is pimping out your office girls really ethical?

You really do a good job of selling yourselves their :) and make Wakefield sound like a lovely place to visit.

There's no place for ethical in today's corporate environment.

However, I'm fairly sure Stef wasn't pimping out out lovely girls, several of whom are unattainable. Instead he was pointing out that repeated exposure to girls would improve the successful candidates social skills to the point where he may be able to fool one into going to the pictures with him.

and make Wakefield sound like a lovely place to visit.


Stef take on Wakefield is jaundiced by the fact that he is from Lancashire. A fact he neglected to appprise us of until after we had employed him.

Now he's a Southerner. Either way, he has no perspective on the grim but comeradely existance we carve out for ourselves among these dark satanic mills.

Put it this way, with a BB gun and an extended lunch break, one could have hours of fun taking pot shots at the chavs that inhabit the cathedral step.

+ 10 points for a body shot
+ 20 points for the head
+ 50 points for knocking over a tin of Stella
+ Keys to the city for a kill
- 1000 points for chav offspring of buggy-dwelling age

It's the new, council sanctioned way to clean up the vermin!

As I have my own BB gun this does sound inviting, although the minimum wage bit doesn't! Plus I'm a southerner looking for something a little more technical, shame really.

Otherwise I'd jump at the chance 8~)

wow you have some classy chavs :)

The glinkers where I live tend to go for the special vat, red stripe or white lightning. They can normally be found hanging around Pontypridd town center or making a mess of the park.

Do you have a physical museum or is it all virtual?

LOL! Well, the chavs that hang out on the cathedral steps are the dons, the alpha chavs, so they can afford to "splash out" on Stella. Down the precinct you can see the underlings and wannabes necking down White Lightning and Red Stripe.

Do you have a physical museum or is it all virtual?

Bit of both, but primarily it's virtual. We do have a physical library of titles held in a secret underground bunker, which comprises the majority of titles released since 1999 and a stack of retro titles kindly donated by numerous benefactors (another two sack loads turned up last week). It's because of this back catalogue that we're looking to hire a Rocket Monkey to transfer it from physical to virtual.
