come on everyone
Lets not be too harsh on wingbar.There are many of us in this position out there and it IS very frustrating.
Wingbar : I can definately feel for you as i am in a similar position myself. It's difficult to stay positive but try and laugh about it. It has worked for me over the past two years. Oh, the gin helps but that another story.
The bum blue thing won't work. I have posted here a few times that I was prepared to put on a pair of tight speedo's and dance round a pole for any HR or captain person but was put off the idea by taste and decency laws.
The financial thing I may PM you on. It may offer some advice as my previous life was in that type of field.
