    How did you find that, can I ask? I've never seen anything like that posted. Did you go through their Spanish website?


    1. They are not available to everyone.
    2. They go quick, very, very quick.

    2 is very true. I've seen 1 pop up and go before I've even finished filling out the allocation request
  • Gorilla tape is the only one - for sticking your camera to your chest. I have to do that or it shoots too high

    I only picked up a DIY job today as needed tape. But they've stopped selling gorilla so bought Duck - thinking premium brand - surely will be ok?

    Used a bit straight after to do a 3 min video job. Ok it survived that but already I can feel it coming off and camera feels loose. The tape is really thin and doesn't have much glue

    Yeah, gorilla definitely is the only one to use. I find it lasts the whole day. This has only just lasted 1 tiny job

    1) You've shaved off some of your chest hair so you can stick your camera to your chest better

    2) You're already driving to the first job of the day when the early email from RA comes through. Youve set off early to make sure you can get to the furthest store away and shop it at 2 minutes past 8.

    3) You have to spend half the day shivering because you can't wear a jumper or zip your fleece up - as it would cover up the camera! Sometimes you can't even wear the fleece as some jobs involve movement that causes it to keep falling over the lens.

    4) You know more about the properties of different types of duct tape than the kind of serial killer who drives around in a battered old Transit van with bin bags taped over the rear windows.

    Sorry meant to say I want to know if you can get good jobs. Not going to Subway or John L and asking a load of rubbish so you are spotted as being a MS.

    Cheers in advance

    TNS


    Service measure.


    In that order
  • GAP seems to have picked back up again, after their grim period of terrible service and confusing phone calls. I've done so many fast food jobs for them lately that I'm starting to become concerned about the impact on my health. Unless the premiums are particularly strong, I'm inclined to give it a rest for a few weeks. I'll be keeping a closer eye on TNS, GFK and others instead.

    Has react stopped doing the high street clothing chain? I haven't seen them recently and was wondering if I'd just missed them or if they've disappeared.
