That I can answer, tis the problem of working in the sticks on Oxfordshire, it's around 10/20 miles to the nearest town.

No need for that, as you're in Oxon there's bound to be a Tory MP about to do that for you!

How far to the nearest pig?

Actually I would prefer a pork roast, riddled with bacon, seasoned and then roasted in the oven.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Hi All,
I have been sent a grovelling boiler plate letter to fill in and email to a company I had an interview with last week, should I? I ask as this is the widest spread I can think of (Juniors to Seniors). The role looked interesting, the location was a bit awkward. It's just the fact 'they' are the party asking you, rather you asking them. I accept that it changes every so often but I have seen it in the book "What Colour (Color) is my Parachute" but I have had chance to get to it yet.

Have they sent you a letter thanking you for your time? No? Then they can, to put it as politely as I know, GDIAFBOT*.
In other news, all recruiters are b'tards, recruiters doubly so.
* that's Flaming Ball of Tar for those not to sure.

So, yes it is Hungarian, Attila the Hun style
|
|
|
|

Well Atila did have a way with words!

Well, the irony is that he must have had that, in order to make other follow him.

Hungarian is far more complex. As a language their swearing has made it all but impossible to say "Your Mother" without a kind adjective. There's even a tendency to improvise and combine multiple curses; and curses are what most of them are. So something like "May God [redacted] your 'seamstress' mother with a horse" would not be too surprising. On a good day, Mrs Wife can keep up a stream of expletive laden curses for fifteen minutes without hesitation, deviation or repetition.

I do remember reading a reply from a request to surrender from a commander somewhere in Hungary (or surroundings) around year 1000 or so. In the letter he basically said, No I wont surrender, you'd have to fight us.
However it amounted to a full A4 page with normal 14 size font of insults of what you mother was/wanted/should be doing to other animals, and that your sisters and brothers were doing on their spare time etc. It was stunning to read, and quite funny.

Fill in the groveling boiler plate letter? No.
Write your OWN letter in your OWN words? Yes.
Whether they called you or you called them, it doesn't hurt to write back and it's good practice.
How much time will it take and what would you otherwise do with the time?
If they interviewed other candidates who sent in 'boiler plate' letters and yours is personal, which do you think will be noticed?
