That would be nice though. Make up a story and sell it to Take a Break.

Has anyone done a phone interview before? I have one on Friday at 1pm for Direct Line.
I had one many moons ago Foxy. It was all going well until about 5 minutes in...

Interviewer : Are you good at thinking on your feet?
Me : Yes, I am.
Interviewer : OK then, give me an example.
Me : Erm.... um... well...erm...

I then hung up the phone in complete embarassment.

Tip for Friday - get thinking of a smart-arse response in case they try to trick you with that one!!

I've always liked the idea of a phone interview purely for the reason above. If struggling, just hang up

Or go out in style a la Sylvia Night screaming about ugly effing old bitches before you hang up. If you're not gonna get the job you might as well make an impression anyway!

Apparently Nicole Scherzinger may not be returning to the X Factor! Shame, she was the only one who was remotely entertaining last year.
I thought she was horrible. But only watched 1 episode. Talentless cnt

Had the phone interview today, unfortunately I didn't get through but I'm not too dishearted by it. I managed to not throw a tantrum although afterwards I made myself a panini and devoured it angrily.

On the bright side I have another date tomorrow. (And no it's not the same loser I met last week)

It was brilliant; they should be finalists. I thought it was a good launch show overall.

Bloody hell, the images on BBC/ Sky News from Boston are horrific.

So scary to see something like that as breaking news.

Sky News is all about ratings chasing. I should stop watching it really

Absolutely. Why Boston? And why a Marathon?
Very scary stuff indeed.

This is harrowing, I have friends in that area and one of them was at the marathon yesterday.
