      Yeh... 5k a month is chicken feed in this day and age.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              By having a laugh, I assume you mean: "How can they offer such an astronomically high rate in the current tulip climate? Is this gig for real?".

                Safety case. If you come calling and want to tap 12 years of experience in the business, £250 a day is an insult.

                    It may seem low but some people will be thankful of anything if they've been warming the bench for months. I know that I would.
                    I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
