Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
There has never been any level to which Labour will not stoop. They have ruined everything about the UK so why stop. -

It is a bit ironic that they seem to have suddenly remembered their promise to review the electoral system.Comment

I couldn't agree more !
The economy is in fine, fighting shape.
The housing market is buoyant and 1st time buyers have no problems getting a loan.
We have a wonderful, cohesive systems of laws implemented in the EU that really do understand the microeconomic factors of the UK.
Crime is at an all time low.
The public services are awash with money and there's no need to cut anything back.
The UK Transport infrastructure is also "world class".
There are more jobs than people (and no imported labour)
The Army has the best kit in the world.
Tax is fair.
Gordon Brown has saved the Universe.
And you are Gordon Brown in disguise. Because he is fekking delusional as well.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What is the government for then ?
The list above are just some of the things the existing government was supposed to control and improve. Each of them was on the manifesto.
Let's not split hairs.
The Government = Epic Fail.

I didn't vote for this government, and I'm voting Tory next time on the single issue of ID cards, but I don't realistically expect the Tories to make everything wonderful (or ruin everything) in the UK - that'd be nuts.
I appreciate my view challenges the cosy concensus on this board that Tory governments are always wonderful and blameless and never spend any money or increase taxes, but someone has to add an occasional dose of reality in amongst the Tory automatons like CyberTory who would vote for a (dead) donkey if it was wearing a blue rosette.Comment

The housing market isn't ****ed because of labour - we had bigger housing crashes under the tories. It's ****ed because of greedy bankers, deregulation and problems in the US housing market - I genuinely don't think the tories would have made a blind bit of difference to that bit.
Same with the EU, we're part of it - we get the laws. Only way to avoid that is pull out, and if the tories had tried that they'd have fell apart at the seams (They almost did).
I reckon the tories would have been as bad, but labour's time is well and truly up, time for a change. If that change means more choices than two tulip parties then I'm personally all for it - cause I've never been happy with either party and our current system that basically means I get no say in how the country is run.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Some of whom voted tory before, and will go back to voting them again. And maybe got put off in the middle by how attrociously bad the tories were back then (I'd put them on a par with labour now).
What was you're point with that statement exactly?Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
