I actually just took that name from the alerts thread, I just assumed that was what they were known as.

I'm not entirely sure what I did to deserve 3 angry faces from you

He\she thinks (s)he is the MS Police.

I didn't know there was a pub chain called Viners....

Yes, funny how everyone else in the room gets annoyed at the 'refreshing game' :rotfl: I regularly play it for hours and sometimes get my teenage son to fill in while I cook.... otherwise he starves....:j

My daughter is only 2 years old - quite computer proficient too but not sure I'd trust her to keep refreshing the page! :rotfl:

she'd be OK with RE, teach her to refresh with F5 key and then "keep watching that number in the corner. if it changes, shout for Mummy!!!":rotfl: She can tell them all about it at nursery.....

It took me 6 months to get my first jobs with Bare, and even then it was only after they phoned me to ask if I could do a car circuit when they were desperate (but I couldnt do it) that I asked for some other job instead.

If you're waiting for jobs might be worth dropping them an email to ask if theres anything you can do to make you more likely to get an assignment with them.

Still only ever done one test for them but they are lovely if you can speak to them on the phone - just dont call them yourself as theyre in Belgium (?) and it would cost a bomb but when they've phoned me in the past Ive been left a UK number to dial which redirects to them making it cheaper.

Thanks for your advice, I'll definitely drop them an email then - I feel like such an outsider.... maybe now they will welcome me into their diverse client, well-paying fold!!! :T

Good plan! I'm just worried she'll 'accidentally' actually apply for an assignment! :eek:

@Charliezoo

You might as well have just named the client - please, don't try to be cryptic, just say it's "a pub". :mad::mad::mad:

There are not that many hotels in this chain. I stayed in one in cotland at the back end of last year. It was pretty good for the money, slightly better than Travelodge and the like, and even cheaper!

v.v.good value.

Well I can't work out what it is!
