Why? Because we are posting here when we should be working? Ridiculous.

I suspect I'm well-qualified for one of those, but I doubt they can afford me!  ;)

I bloody well hope that's not the case - otherwise that's all my dreams stuffed into a pillowcase and drowned in the nearest river...

Actually, if that was the case, why the hell would there be an advert here in the first place?

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I expect that they posted the Ads here because there is a possibility of finding someone who is qualified and who has an enthusiasm for genre fiction.

I can lie like an MP and bullshit on a CV like no other, but unfortunately for them I actually enjoy my job (at the moment). And they couldn't afford me. The cake bill alone would be astronomical.

besides, no doubt they would want the lucky b'stard to work in Oxford.  Appealing as the opportunity might be I know I couldn't afford that, even if they could afford me ( which they could easily! ).  ;)
