I keep trying to find that one episode of QC where Raven plans to 
increase business using sex... but since all the strips have titles 
which are part of the punchline rather than being descriptive, and 
Google can't read image text, it's proving nearly impossible to find. :-(

If you put it that way it seems to make sense. No wonder that we have 
repeatedly tried to get it into his thick head. I wonder why that didn't 
work...

So I *finally* sent them my CV. Apparently they're now considering it.

Also: Cambridge is actually *further away* than Coventry. Idiot. (I was 
thinking of Oxford...)

Well, see what the pay looks like; if it's a reasonable wage, look at
