Me me me me!
My turn! I am fucking fuming today as I was interviewing last Thursday for a post in our office. We had 4 candidates and the 3.15pm one simply didn't turn up. HR rang his mobile - no answer, and his home where his wife told them that he had left 2 hours ago.

We were later informed that he had been stuck behind some kind of accident and the Police needed him as a witness (or something).

Now am I being a touch harsh here, but if you are going for an interview and cannot make it there, would you not ring? Even the Agency? How could he have spoken to whoever to let them know about this accident without access to a phone? We also heard nothing back from him on the Friday and late Monday the aganecy got in contact with him. Our fucking idiot HR department have asked him back in for an interview (which I have to give).

What questions should I ask him in the interview?

In answer to your question, yes! Full handle flying is 100% allowed and you also get to use this as a "But YOU sat outside for half an hour" get out of jail card next time you fuck up

Ask him who won the FA Cup in 1898
and when he doesn't know, somehow tie it in to his inability to call ahead

Hmmmm
I like this idea.

I can think of plenty of questions that no-one knows the answer to
Although I imagine you can probably guess the FA Cup one

Are you sure
Nottingham Forest Verses Derby County. Are you sure The glorious Derby boys didn't trounce those filthy Notts lads? Really?

There are no recorded instances in the history of football of D***y beating Forest
Certainly not this season. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Sorry, any excuse to mention that

I am tickled by this from the BBC website
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's interest in bringing £20m-rated Borussia Dortmund playmaker Mario Goetze to Old Trafford has intensified.

It's OK
I don't know shit about football and don't support anyone except loosely spurs because I had to in school or face the wrath of Tony Byrne. I only knew Forest beat Derby 3-1 in the 1898 FA cup Final because of Wikipedia.

Any twit knows that the police will take a name and address and get back to a witness later.

This was what I thought
unless he caused the accident
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 9:10, Reply)

Well, unless he is a superb canditate you should just tell him to fuck off.
Or...

Bring in a couple of matchbox cars and cereal boxes and ask him to make a diorama of the incident.

'do you know how to work a fucking telephone?'
OK, next question. 'When you are expected somewhere for an important appointment, say, a JOB INTERVIEW, would you consider it prudent and at the very least polite to inform your interviewer that circumstances have prevented you from keeping that appointment?'

I see, right. One last question, 'why don't you fuck off immediately, you bullshitting spastic?'

Ask him about the accident.
Let him witter on then just say "Really?" (with a raised eyebrow if possible).
Then no further comment and move on.
Check for squirming.

Yes
My wife was on the way to an interview when she was involved in a three car smash. Despite her injuries, damage to her car and police presence she still phoned and let them know she would not be at the interview, because of this they rescheduled her interview.

I want to drag her to a bash one day
People instantly think she's a lovely darling little pussy cat. Then they watch her get drunker and drunker, eventually someone will keep bumping in to her and the evenings entertainment can begin.

Is she a Geordie?
And does she say "Are you calling my pint a puff?"

No, she's Nick Griffins worst nightmare
One quarter each of Native American, Spanish and Cornish the other quarter is a complete mongrel mix with a bit of Chinese and Japanese thrown in for luck. According to Griffins three generations rules she would be sliced up in to several bits and posted around the world.

If she was Geordie I'd let them.
( Peej, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 9:45, Reply)

In all seriousness
I would ask him which police station is handling the incident - and the name of the officer who he's been dealing with.

You might as well out the cunt as an unreliable bullshitter as quickly as possible.
