Rebellious, best of luck.
Runway, the rat comment wasn't intended as a dig. The only rat I smell is in the guise of the bloke who, it would seem, is still behind this outfit.
I make no secret of the fact that I personally dislike MD. He very nearly pushed me into financial meltdown and contributed to the breakdown of my relationship (the whole situation got to both of us). I've seen it many times with people going through the revolving door at that company, being promised the earth (and it can sound believable when you're desperate for a first job) and receiving only abuse from a nasty little bully such as Davies (his verbal tirades are particularly unpleasant, as he knows no one desperate for a job will answer back). If I can stop anyone having to go through what I did, then I'm more than happy to keep this thread alive.
If anyone does attend 'the launch party', please let me know what it was like. I was responsible for arranging the last one. It was cancelled shortly after.
