Freeze, batter, deep fry. Same way as you prepare Mars bars or icecream.

Re: Contempt

My last experiance of jury duty was you were the lowest of the low to be messed around at the convenience of the court.

It took the court two days to select 15 people from a group of over 50 wasting the time of 35 of us to no use. In that time we watched court officals turn up without paper work cases, cases excused etc, things we had no need to know or be there for. However we were a free resource so no one cared.

I've now got Jury duty again (years later) and I'm considering not turning up as the fine looks to be less than the money I will lose going. Currently the courts will pay you up to £50 a day for lost wages. Who in London can pay their rent on £50 a day?

Re: Recruitment agents - simply ignorant greedy farmers

At some point the Reg will let me write about the problems faced by recruiters, <-- Now I would actually be interested in reading this. I suspect in some cases candidates are their own worst enemies, at least if I knew the problems an agent faced I could tailor my approach to help them satisfy their goals as well. Which means more chance of my CV ending up on the desk of someone. That and it would be amusing to hear how half the clients want the skills of to launch the space shuttle for the minimum wage in Kirkwall.
