Blimey!
So, right now, Mr Jacob isn't spending the money Barclays Bank have known for years I don't actually have, nor will ever have?
I didn't fall for it. Hook line and sinker.

Be careful. I think that's one of those not-phishing emails. If they didn't ask you not to give them details to the bank account you haven't got then you might not lose some money you don't have in it.
Be careful, that's never happened to me
I'll try to be clear:
* We are currently creating a list of 20 from a current list of 40
* I am writing as quickly as I can to people who nearly made the 40, and should have completed that by the end of the week
* As soon as we have the list of 20, I will write to those 20 people
* I will also write to the 20 who didn't make it
Does that make sense?

As clear as crystal
Well I think it's clear enough...
Tense week everyone.
See, Micheal's making it very difficult for me to think of him as a MONSTER right now. Damn him and his massive reasonableness and trying to take everyone into considerationness. I should be plotting bloody and ironic revenge, rather than how to be a little bit better at writing.
You are so lucky Willie, you obviously have talent. How do you think the rest of us 'also rans' feel at not even getting an email
I think it would be short sighted of anyone to take nearly getting there or not nearly getting there as discouragement- there'll be plenty of other knockbacks down the road if you want to pursue this as a career. I know how hard it is to get a foot in the door- but even getting a foot in is no guarantee, the door can shut & hurt your toes! Keep going, even if you're on crutches, this is only one opportunity of many. Anyway, the best comedy is borne of despair.....
Top marks, Sir, to Michael Jacob for being so kind - and patient - with us. He IS a role model for the business.
This is just one more door slamming on my tiny tootsies in a long line of doors which I've had my foot some way in. I should be used to it by now. But it still hurts and it's ruining my toe nails (as well as crushing my diminishing spirit). Just how much door slamming do you take before you remove your feet forever?

Nah. If he had true feelings for us he'd make us hate him so that we can keep plotting the Beebs downfall and rise up as one and say 'Laugh at us you bastards!' Or is that already happening?

That's what life is Nubbit, a load of stone walls to climb and no chance to play in the meadows in between.........it's one long set of hurdles and then you die. It's how you deal with it wot counts towards yer brownie points up there 
Then I guess I'm doomed. I usually deal with it by having a massive sulk and beating myself up for a couple of weeks coupled with excessive alcohol intake. And then as I get over it I vow to laugh in the face of whoever rejected me 'when I make it big'. Then they'll be sorry. Mwah ha ha ha ha.
