Don’t ever accuse us of not caring about our community at Ideate. Here’s a heads up for those of you who are hard pressed by the economy at present…

…for a closer look:

…and if you can’t read that, it says: ‘I am a 30 year old man, who loves drinking but hates doing it alone. I am willing to pay the right person R5000 PM to drink with me whenever I want. needs to be someone who can get falling down drink and will drink the next day. No chancers please. Please call Robert’

I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.

The ad was spotted on Gumtree (thanks Liz), but seems to have been removed. Looks like Rob found his guy.

    5k isn’t much for a full time position, even with free sauce. Plus there’s the boerewors curtain commute and klippies-drenched bars to consider. Sounds like danger pay and a good medical aid package are a must for this gig.

    @Lil = thanks!

    @Luke = you’re absolutely right.

    It should be R5500.

    At least.
