I'm just someone who writes...

WRITING - Know Your Environment

@Parsnips
Totally correct. I had a guy in my band just like that. Would know EVH off his perch, bot totally unable to play C Am F & G consistently for more than about 6 or 7 bars...

Keep writing anyway - it's cathartic!

@ThatIrishWoman

OK, I understand. Tru won't thank you and I guess Lookin' will be dumping Krema if he thinks you're available again.

I just hope you can live with the emotional carnage your decision has wrought.

@Molls - only considered native speakers in Ireland

Me too. Cover letters are not such a regular thing nowadays. That said, I have received some gems over the years.

Your lack of experience and knowledge is precisely what we are looking for and I am happy to offer you the position of lion dinner tamer with immediate effect.

LI is good, but I still insist on CVs. Cover letters are less important to me.

Thanks for your kind words (manly hug emote)

I'd give you the bird, but the tigers ate all my fingers. Instead, I give you the middle stump!

RE: I want it all, and I want it now. But how?

@Biff.

Gotta love a bit of Flash and, as I once said Brian Blessed being...... Brian Blessed!

RE: I want it all, and I want it now. But how?

Biff, you are the centre of all our universes.

My only piece of advice to you would be not to confuse your puddings and your hat.

Keep on biffing!!!!

@GG
I like that kind of presenter. Paxman is another who used to push like hell.

Another (Northern) Irishman I quite like is Stephen Nolan. He can be a bloody minded wotsit also.

Balderdash is a great word. Funny how we all assume ownership of things. I see it as a very English, upper class word, you see it as Irish. The origin is unknown, but it didn't used to have the meaning it has today. Sadly, it's going of fashion, but I think there should always be a place for it...

RE: What Is It About Men Eh?!

THat's quite a menagerie you're collecting there ladies!!!
