    Nice day today

    Got a phone call today to confirm another small pocket money project. A software house for whom I had installed a system for rang me a couple of weeks ago about helping one of their customers out, after some telephone negotiations, I said yes. Today it was confirmed to start November for an open end (at least a year.) Have to be on site 1 day a month for which I'm paid a rather nice hourly rate and 1 day a month on stand-by and get paid whether I go or not and I can still work remotely on my daily contracts. I love these little projects which all add up at the end of the year and make me a lot of contacts for other little projects. Sorted, again.
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    Plus, it makes you look like a proper business and puts you outside IR35.

      IR35 doesn't affect me I'm afraid as I live and work in Germany (have done for 20 years.) Once had an Ltd. in the UK many years ago, properly bankrupt there now

        That's 174 mph? I imagine that is close to the top speed of both of those cars.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Were you mullered when you wrote that? It's certainly way

            I thought you recently mentioned that you had years of assignments on your hands thanks to the sheer demand - am I missing something or is demand now falling a tad ?

              If you're going to 'flex success' you really should quote figures.



              Ooh, I just found 50p in my pocket. Lovely.
