Oh yeah, I meant to say, can I do the job from home in ColdFusion for £75,000 pa?

Well they turned my generous £90k pa offer down, but if you're that cheap you might want to see what they say. :)

Well, so long as I get to work from home, sure. Hell, I'd even drop the ColdFusion requirement.

Does the successful applicant get the opportunity to bludgeon Jamie Oliver with a crowbar? If so, I'm prepared to lie on my CV.

I suspect he doesn't visit the online team himself that often.

But I did have a poke around the site/forums the other day and he appears to post on the forums, so I guess you couldn't rule out such an opportunity.

You think that's cheap? I'd do it for £64K p/a and all the four-cheese macaroni I can eat.

Fat enough to cause a distortion that rips the fabric of spacetime, allowing you to create a wormhole and travel an hour into the future to post that message at 00:02 on the 25th? :S
