    Interviews going better than expected! Archived Message

    The vacant post of Promotion of leafleting here at Cartier Industries have been going well so far.
    Set between my duel office arrangement of The Petersgate Tap and Spoons, I have so far interviewed nearly 5 potential candidates for this exciting post! (Well…4 as I don’t think we can count the chap who has vandalised the fence and was thrice refused entry until the police were called)
    The staff at Spoons handled him superbly to put paid to his potentially violent outbursts but due to his ejection from the premises I can’t count him as an interviewee…never the less he seems just the sort of person I need to keep Hampton and The Dingler in place…I’ll approach him with caution next time I see him and promote him to my second round of meetings to be held at P3 on Edgeley next week.

    The others had varying degrees of expertise for instance one suffered from continuous voices in his head that told him to stalk anybody who wore flamboyant footwear unfortunately our interesting conversation was cut short by a gentleman walking past the pub in Moon boots and he scuttled off mid-sentence never to return.

    Next up was a lady, which was a bit of a surprise but perfectly acceptable of course.
    The problem was that she turned the air blue as soon as she opened her mouth…I have to say as a Stockport County supporter of 50 years, I’m not exactly shocked at foul and abusive language but this young lady would make Frankie Boyle blush.
    After about the 12th complaint to the bar staff I excused myself and hid in the lavatory for two hours until she left.

    The third chap was clearly living rough and tried to get money from my good self instead of buying ME copious amounts of Jack Daniels…so I’m afraid he’ll probably not make it to the second round…but we’ll see.

    Finally I’m afraid due to my insistence that it was a five large JD minimum interview fee (and of course a packet of gaspers) I became a tad unsteady after consuming around 10 glasses…it was then I met the best person for the job so far…we talked for a good hour and we had a lot in common I eventually shouted “Sir! The jobs your’s” …and as I went to shake his hand I painfully banged my knuckles against the mirror….I'm afraid I’d been talking to myself in the spoons lavvie (again) so I decided to retire to my rooms after an excellent day of interviewing and I can honesty say…they’re all in with a chance!

    To be continued tomorrow with my first appointment at 11 am in the salubrious environs of Spoons beer garden where I’ll be meeting a gentleman who calls himself ‘Methylated’ Mike.
    Should be interesting.
