No conversation killer quite like a reference to an obscure 80s arcade game..

"Shoulda stayed in university geeeezaaaaaaa"

True story - Jonnyboy bought a Bestival ticket off me a few years ago and he looks not dissimilar to that guy (from my hazy memory).

Nah, I did a bit of student radio at University and some promotional work for Jack FM, but that's the extent of it.

Cheers Minty, i'll bear that in mind. I always try to be professional and bite my tongue - i've had to deal with a lot of difficult customers in my current job so believe me when I say i'm used to tolerating moaners! In my mind the job is first and foremost a customer service position and that's what i'll be looking to excel in. You've got to use a certain amount of initiative in this kind of sales environment, and i'm not one to push people anyway regardless of my own position. I'm looking forward to testing myself with a different area of work, as i've mostly been in retail/hospitality until this point.

I signed him for Saints on FM. Felt a bit dirty giving the Skates money but hey ho.

I go to Eastleigh six or seven times a year with my mate, costs me £7 with my student ID (despite the fact that I haven't been a student for nearly 2 years now). Think it's a tenner for adults. Pretty reasonable, and you can smoke pitchside as well which is certainly a bonus for me!

Well, my current job has been as fun as going to a close family member's funeral over the past 6 months, so hopefully this should be better. Seem like a good group of people, mostly in their 20s as well so might have a laugh while doing it. Ultimately I want to save up enough money to spend 3-4 months working abroad in late 2014/early 2015, but if I can eke out a decent living from this job then I will be happy. It's with one of those 3, yeah. Primarily it's a customer service gig, handling inbound calls from customers and the selling is almost secondary to that. I'll have to research the sector before I start because i'm not an expert on personal finance, but I will make sure to keep an eye out for something I can make my millions with! Get that already

Afternoon chaps I've managed to wrangle myself a customer service job in a call centre for a well-known high street bank. Anyone done this kind of work before? I've done some call centre work and have several years' experience in customer service, but wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for that kind of environment. I'll be working to KPIs with a certain amount of linked selling. Cheers bluds

I've done a few IQ tests at college and uni, usually somewhere between 130-140. I'm smarter than the average bear (no offence Bearsy).

Weee are Southampton, we play on the floor!

Quite nice around there I guess. I've seen Nathaniel Clyne popping into Roosters from time to time, but he lives in Ocean Village.

To be fair, most of our staff is made up of Uni dropouts and underachievers anyway, so I reckon we could give it a good shot.

Also, this is what I am currently listening to.

I missed them at Glastonbury, thought they were playing on the Sunday but they played Saturday (or the other way round). Will make sure to catch them next time they're round these parts - but as you say that won't be for a few years now.

Nah, you're thinking of SaintAndy666. I work at One Stop.

There's a great Doug Stanhope bit on his 2011 CD where he talks about Finland in that context.

Berahino should have had a yellow card for simulation, there's no room in the international game for diving. I spent ages trying to think of a pun to fit in with that post, but no luck. So I thought I would just post it anyway.

Well hopefully MP will have devised some kind of strategy to counter that. Can't say i'm feeling too confident about this one though.

France.

I don't think many Saints players - past or present - would live in Portswood.

And that one where all his neighbours are shouting that they found the light. Sounds like he lives in a rough neighbourhood, would do well to move somewhere with less mentalists around.
