        A big un joining it here !

        Just to cheer you up, I've been ringing round my fellow contractors and a few of us are benched and resigned to a decent stay on it. There has been a handful of contracts on Jobserve over the last month or so and all of us have fired off CVs to them regardless of location ( ie, probably wouldn't want them anyway at this early stage in benchdom so haven't chased them up ) and none of us has heard a thing back. All of us 10yr+ in our niche so there must be hundreds of CVs from lesser experienced bods also going in the bin

              Damn... I have to lose more weight. Hmph.

              Anyway... welcome to the bench. Hope things pick up soon for ya.

                Will be nice and shiny for me on the 9th then!

                2nd is a way away : plenty can change.

                  How little? Would you fit in a cupboard?
                  I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                    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.”
