    :eek: gerroff! Your just jealous, she,s a great and intelligent woman, the figure isnt the main point you see, niether is the face. These women havent turned into non beings because they are the wrong side of 40,50,60. They are very astute business women who earn fortunes and can afford to eat all the McD,s they could ever want, or buy phones ect. Thank you for listening.;)

    I can understand this age restriction as it is for a hobby activity played mainly by the specified age group and males so obviously they need to get this age group to make it realistic.

    They have now outsourced this job and the outsource company posted on here:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Surely that is just being lazy of them
    You quite right about that, but buying a phone or even just counting them! :confused:

    Hi Hollypear, I did a whole rash of jobs for them when I first started, it wasnt like that then (about a year ago) I dont understand why they would do this. They seem to have a load of work but not getting the jobs done. Isnt there a contact us button on the site? They used to phone me on a regular basis, dont now though....hmm summit stinks.

    I think its mostly luck! Definitely no secret way that I know of. I think part of the problem is that jobs don't disappear for a particular location until the whole lot are done. So there may not be any jobs for the areas you want but you won't know.

    A strange system for sure :rolleyes: You should have been given a contact name in case of queries when you signed up so maybe try them. There doesn't seem to be a general email, but lots of individuals. Though of course it says don't ask about allocations! But worth a try anyway ;)

    I've done my Native English Speaker test and hoping I've passed :D

    OK - rant time :mad: :mad: (It's early I know so I'm sorry). I got a call on the weekend from GYP asking if I could undertake an assignment in the next few days rather than in August as agreed as they needed to get the assignment done. If I could then the fee would be increased. I agreed. The e-mail I got through didn't mention the increase in fee so I e-mailed them. Got an e-mail back this morning to say that there would be no increase in fee - Surprise surprise - I had already done the assignment and inputted the results. Something tells me that they waited for me to complete the assignment before replying to my e-mail so they wouldn't have to pay me!!!!! I've e-mailed back this morning to say no way is that acceptable and I find it deplorable that they could promise an increase and then recind on this once the assignment has been done. I'm waiting for my contract to be cancelled now!!! Any advice or has this happened to anyone else?
