That sounds well nice (if suspiciously like risotto)

nah, it'd not a ballache, risotto is nice but a pain to cook as it's just constant stirring.

In frigging work, nursing a hangover with Sun Exotic Trpoical Juice, after getting too happy about 2 useless interviews i went for up west. Had 1 too many on a pub crawl, smoked 1 2 many reefers, embarressed myself in 1 too many wine bars, spent 1 to many tenners....for nothing

Looking to apply for some new jobs as my current one is so incredibly fucking dull.

In the process of this at the moment...

Some aren't very professional and seem to forget that they are working for you effectively. I've had heated arguments with one or two who have been trying to put me forward for a job i didn't want. I miss the days of applying direct to the work itself.
