  • The point you seem to be missing is that everyone's views are valid. I was just giving a gentle warning that they are not as easy as they sound.

    Your view is also perfectly valid, especially as the jobs are better than a number of GAP ones.

    As they say knowledge brings power, and some people will prefer to avoid these while others will love em. But a number of views will help people decide.

    Try not to slate people's comments, why bother really?

    Yes, and I answered it reasonably by saying I found it really easy - that was MY valid view, as someone doing it for the first time. Your post then 'slated' my view; this then received a reply, as is my Right. My Left isn't bad either. And the Rastafarian who accosted me got similar short shrift upon asking me "What you doin' with that pizza, mate?" :D

    But in every post you attack my view and say its not valid, rather than just mentioning how you found it...until you edit your posts that is :rotfl:
    Try not being so aggressive, you may find yourself a happier person.

    My first responses were not edited and were not 'attacks' - they were simple explanations of how many photos were required, with no animosity or psychobubble about them; polite, to the point, helpful and advisory.

    I am certainly not aggressive; I never swear, and never respond with 'satirical' remarks unless provoked first. When I edit, it's to correct spelling or add something relevant that is beneficial. It's an MSE function that can be used, ya know! Now Peace. :beer:

  • ok, as long as you're sure the pizza didn't go down the wrong way....otherwise that might be another negative :rotfl:

    Peace dude :beer:

    Most of the first pizza went in the bin, as it was a 12" square box, and I didn't fancy carting it around London. Once the photos were taken - and 3 passengers killed for asking me why I was cutting pizza up on a station platform - I was relatively free to do the 2nd job. I didn't really find anything negative, except my flash going off by itself, due to rain in the camera. But even then, it was a doddle.

    It has to be the female of the species who are more argumentative, as men would never dare argue with a woman.

    I've got my second mystery bank account enquiry today. Will be setting off in a few minutes.

    Not had any more requests yet, so maybe this is a quiet time of year? I only registered with one company though.

    Just curious, does anyone actually do this as a semi-full time job? If you could do 5 a day for 5-6 days a week that would probably be better than flipping hamburgers in MacDonalds.... Not to mention better exercise too!

    it is pretty quiet for me too :( and i am usually quite busy with MSing

    awaiting the new batches of feb jobs to be released :)

    sign up with a few more companies and you will more than likely find more assignments

    are you with Grassroots ? I really like them as a company but currently I only get 3 - 4 assignments a month with them ( i get offered a few more,banks and mobile phone retailers but i dont do those)

    TNS i always get lots of jobs per month with
