Guru thought that after months of e-mailing their recruitment woes, his disciples would be running out of steam.

But not a bit of it. So here are a few more highlights that have winged their way to Guru Towers:

• The whole of her supporting statement for her application read: “Once when I was asked to complete some urgent work, I cancelled my hairdressers and manicurist appointments, and stayed to do the work.” Disciple Linda

• One candidate listed their hobbies as: “Trees and playing with my hamster.”  Disciple Mandy
