      Last summer in Kew - cracking place, good pubs, Richmond on your doorstep, and only down the road from where I live.

              NASA.

              Piss easy contract (well it's not exactly rocket science is it). Free use of moon rover and plenty of re-entries.

                Grand Turk - Turks and Caicos Islands

                Hotel room over looked the beach, and it was in there that I spent 50% of the time working.
                Meetings were mainly spent in the hotel bar whilst sipping rum cocktails

                Plus i charged fo 16 hours a day plus the flying time there and back

                  Aylesbury. My best rate so far, 20 minute commute by car, people great.

                  Nicest site is probably Microsoft at Reading, although HP at Pinewood was pretty good too.

                    Cognos

                    Nice building, easy work, good pay, generally good people, decent cafeteria.
