Job Seeking Advice
Hi folks,
It seems like there’s only one story dominating the UK media at the minute and that is To Brexit, or not to Brexit? We’re not going to comment other than to say that by the time we write our next newsletter, we’ll finally have come to the end of what feels like an eternal campaign!
Instead let’s shine a spotlight on a couple of the more light-hearted articles from this week; firstly this surprising Bollywood-based tactic in the fight against ISIS. What on earth next?
And this poor sod who couldn’t quite take the heat of the Trooping of the Colour and now finds himself at the mercy of the internet jokers. Which prompts us to ask: what is your most embarrassing memory of your service days? Hop on over to our Facebook page and let us know. We need the light relief!
Drop us a line on [email protected] if there’s anything you’d like us to add to this newsletter.
Regards,
The Team

Joke: The Hamster
A man walks into a bar and he is completely parched. He sits at the bar,
pats his pockets and realizes he’s left his wallet at home. He calls to the
bartender,
“Hey pal, I’ve left my wallet at home but hey… tell you what, if
I can show you something incredible, will you give me a free beer in
return?”
The bartender is a worldly individual. “Listen mate, look around at
the stuff on the walls, I’ve seen all kinds of things, been all kinds of
places. I mean, you can give it a shot but I honestly doubt you can show me
something that impressive.”
So the man reaches into his left jacket pocket and pulls out a small
hamster. He places the hamster on the bar and the bartender looks bemused. The
man reaches into his other jacket pocket and pulls out a tiny piano, followed
by a tiny stool, just the right size for the hamster, who sits down, cracks his
knuckles and starts playing a famous piece of music by Rachmaninoff.
The bartender is speechless.
“Tell you what mate… I’ve seen some things in my time but that is
absolutely incredible! Here’s your free beer.”
The visitor gulps down his drink until the last drop is gone. But he
can’t help but feel another drink would really hit the spot. He motions to the
bartender again.
“Look, I could really use another drink – how about I show you
something even more incredible?”
The bartender stares in disbelief. “After that performance, I think
you’ll struggle to beat it! But go on, try your luck then.”
The man reaches into his left jacket pocket again and retrieves a small
frog, who is wearing a waist coat. He places the frog on the stool beside the
hamster. The hamster counts to four, the frog clears his throat, and over the
piano the frog sings a classic opera, bringing several people in the bar to
tears.
“Oh my word,” says the bartender. “That is absolutely
unbelievable. Here’s your pint, mate. You’ve earned it.”
In the corner of the room, a shady looking individual has been watching with
keen interest from behind his dark sunglasses. He approaches the owner of the
performing animals and gets straight to business.
“I’ll give you £50,000 right now, in cash, if you’ll let me take
that frog off your hands this instant.”
“Well, sure, why not?” says the man, as he duly hands the frog
over to the shady character, who promptly slides back a silver briefcase filled
with bank notes before making his exit with the frog.
“Are you MAD!?” the bartender says to the man. “You could
have made millions with that frog!”
“Nah,” says the man.
“The hamster’s a ventriloquist.”
