Have you done any research on them? If they are as big as they sound,
then there is a phone number there, find it.

Don't be stupid. You're not a 'nobody'. You have everything going for
you, you're young, clever, and trust me, there's a good job waiting for you
out there somewhere.

You think your life has been a waste, you should try mine buddy. I'd
swap with you any day of the week. Seriously, over the last 7 or 8 years, my
life has been turned upside down, and so much so that I now live alone and
have to fend for myself. I've *never* been alone - never. It's hard, it's
boring, I find myself talking to myself just so I can practice speaking.
Yeah, seriously. I don't eat well, I have stress-induced psoriasis at the
moment which covers me from my shoulders up. I look like a lizard in the
mornings. In 2002, I had stress related alopecia - this was brought on after
I saved my wife's life. I had about 5 or 6 large bald patches and they
didn't quite meet, so imagine a bunch of fields with hedges dividing them,
the hedges being the hair that I still had, that's what I looked like. I had
to deal with people looking like that. Don't ask me how or why because I'm
not gonna say, but I've saved my wife's life twice now, and it's *the* most
scariest thing *ever*.
Yeah, so you go on about your crap, shitty life mate, I'm all ears.
