Nowt against the Midlands - but fuck Coventry. And every time they get twatted by Brentford, or Bradford or MK Dons or one of the other teams they share the Bumhole Insurance Division with, I give a little cheer.

So, although you don't like football, you do now follow it to learn the fate of a team you don't support because of a bad interview experience more than 20 years ago. That makes perfect sense.

Actually, it does.

Brilliant interviewing technique, though. Sure to get the best person for the job.

I loved the line in The Office where Brent says that he always throws a third of the applications in the bin unread because he doesn't want to employ anyone who is unlucky. It almost makes sense. It could also explain how I've managed to get jobs where I've been sure that other people would be better qualified.

A long time ago, I was working at a small firm... about 12 employees, who were advertising for a new employee.

They dropped all letters in a bin on arrival. At then end of the week they turned them out on a table, picked up a handful, binned two, then put one to one side, and went through the whole pile like this.

"We don't have time to read all the applications"

I think they cut it down to about 80 to read.... I wasn't surprised at no answer whenever I applied for jobs after that.
