Presumably there are no agency fees involved. Agency fees can be big bucks so it's cheaper to employ someone direct rather than through an agency. If I had a temp job opening and an eye on the bottom line I would definitely look to fill it without using an agency.

I so want to see this movie. Loved the first two. Is it compulsory to take a kid? Can anyone lend me one as I don't want to look out of place. Thanks.

Fabulous - thanks AJM - and there was I beginning to think that the Summer of Love had arrived in ED.

I think you should butt out (pun intended).

TT - I'm all ears......

So am I OK to replace my falling-to-bits Boses with some new shinny ones then? I'm not remotely gizmo-minded so a yes or no will suffice. I only replace gizmos when they fall to bits, and that would be now. I don't replace them just because a new model comes along; I save my money for more important purchases (shoes). And Brendan "I hate Led Zeppelin". Well that's just wrong. Also, I?m sure that each and every one of Cheryl Tweedy?s farts has been declared a national treasure and Heat Magazine has a photo-spread lined up. I've absolutely no idea who Murder the Government are but it sounds like an excellent idea so definitely with you on the fukoff call. The ?3.50 is yours when you want it though. Px

Fair enough B but I still need some new headphones because mine are held together with superglue so what to buy? One plus for Bosse is that they don't leak. I find it really annoying when I'm on the bus and someone has leaky headphones so I try to ensure that mine don't.

?3.50

Brendan - just for once, get off the fence and tell us what you really think.

Are these better than Bose? I have Bose but they need replacing because they're falling to bits after lots and lots of use.

I nearly embarrassed myself there by saying "So are Mumford & Sons Irish". But they aren't - they're a London band trying to sound Irish - like the Pogues.

Happy Birthday - Marilyn Monroe

Goes without saying Daizie

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Beagle - nobody's in the mood for a scrap. I've gone off topic on every thread I've been on but that's hardly hard-core is it? What's the forum coming to when there's not a wobbly lip in sight?

Is there any arm candy in it? A decent bit of totty?

Yes she was gorgeous wasn't she. Not aged well though.

Who do you think you're looking at blondie?

Magpie - exactly how did you stumble upon this information? What were you doing at the time? Paint me a picture so that I can see how you put two and two together here. Thanks.

Hey Hoochie, you can mock all you like but you know you just read my mind. And Reggie Bosanquet did it for me, thank you.

Speaking of I Am Kloot, Mercury shortlist. This award has become a bit of a joke and it is completely unpredictable, but anyone like to hazard a guess from this lot? Biffy Clyro with ?Only Revolutions? Corinne Bailey Rae with ?The Sea? Dizzee Rascal with ?Tongue N? Cheek? Kit Downes Trio with ?Golden? Foals with ?Total Life Forever? I Am Kloot with ?Sky At Night? Laura Marling with ?I Speak Because I Can? Mumford And Sons with ?Sigh No More? Paul Weller with ?Wake Up The Nation? Villagers with ?Becoming A Jackal? Wild Beasts with ?Two Dancers? The XX with ?XX?

I hear you Quids, but I'm happy for now. It's coffee that gets me. Why can't you just go in to a coffee shop and order a cup of coffee? Sounds bloody obvious doesn't it but oh no, unless your coffee has at least six different elements to it, they look down on you. Me, I have an Americano, black, regular. That just about scrapes through as a credible order. Really it's just a cup of black coffee but you can't ask for that can you?

5:15 The Angels Have Gone - David Bowie

I don't know the answer to that but I sure as hell take my hat off to the brave men and women who harvest the tiger sh1t. That's got to look good on a CV though, hasn't it.

You're talking to someone here who'se evolved from Babycham so don't knock Prosecco. Actually I agree - it is a fad. Do you have something against fads though? What's not to like? It's cold and bubly and it goes down nice and smooth. If something better comes along then I say "bring it on mate, and let's party".

Gold Dust Woman - FleetwoodMac
