Funny how things can change..
I was a successful businessman, trading for a large company in the big smoke, dealing with the pressures of peoples futures in a large 'pool' of sharks.

I was not your average 'salesman', as I had a genuine concern for the welfare of others and built up a rapport with a rapidly growing list of clients (unlike the others..they would cut their own mothers throats to get ahead in the game).

There's nothing worse than being surrounded by arseholes, with their fake laughs and knives ready to plow in your back as soon as it was turned.. what's even more depressing is the sheer fact of being around them, eventually no matter how hard you fight it.. they rub off on you, and you become doctrinated into being just like them.. stepping over, or on anyone that gets in your way. Those are the days, that you just don't feel like singing anymore..and I knew I had become a slimy worthless smug piece of shit. But hey..I was getting paid well for it.. who cares what happens to anybody else !

One day, I was told that the company wanted people to star in their adverts, and I just knew that I was destined for greatness..so I auditioned, and I got the part !

I was beamed out into peoples living rooms every night, I would sing and dance..hell.. it wasn't about the company anymore.. It was all about me ! I was a brand.

Then, we were told there was a mistake by the financial department, and there would be 40,000 job cuts. "Not me" I thought to myself smugly..how can they possibly get rid of an icon !

Now I am jobless..

I give rim jobs to sailors, and suck/fuck for £20 just to stay alive. And people always tell me how grateful they are that the Halifax is fucked, and they don't have to hear my whiney smug voice on those terrible adverts anymore.

See How nice I am to everybody !
