My word - you really don't have anything more interesting to do, do you?
I don't mean to be offensive, but I guess I will be anyway (all in the
spirit of the season). Maybe some of you folks just arn't sassy... or even
intelligent enough to apply for the job and feel offended for that reason
alone?
Anybody seen Braniac - now wheres the sassiness (or should I say A western
African tree of the pea family) in that show - every show is different and
so too is every presenting and production team. I wish I could apply for
this presenting job, but a skirt and makeup just doesn't do it for me - and
god knows, I do try!
And NO, I do not care in the slightest whether someone says girl, boy, man,
woman, ogre, elf or limpet so long as we know what they mean.
Well, unlike some of you - who no doubt spend all day and night monitering
this chat group - I have work to do.
Good Luck.
- Paul
