What an appalling applications to interview ratio!  I really don't get 
it. You should have been snapped up by an IT company years ago. They 
should be knocking at your door! This just re-enforces my belief that 
this country is run by clueless halfwits (perhaps half is overly 
generous). It seems that you only get a good job these days  if ;
a) You are one of the boys
b) You have big knockers and pleasant on the eye
c) Sleep with someone already in a position of safety.

I despair.
