    Ever worked on the same gig as a CUKer?

    Either unwittingly, then found out?
    Or wittingly and by some weird sort of CUK nepatism?

    Your stories please

      MF and I passed each other like ships in the night on a contract in Leeds a few years ago.

      I can't remember if he biffed anyone to get out of it, but knowing the client it's highly likely.

        Ships in the night. Close.

        I've been up all night after a dodgy curry. Almost the same turn of phrase!!!!

          I've worked with Singhr (not Rsingh) at a couple of gigs over the past 5 years or so, but we only discovered that we were both on cuk recently.

            worked with wendingo a few years back at Centrica - don't know what has happened to him since as he doesn't seem to post on here anymore
            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!

              Is he short with really thick glasses, and a small man syndrome? Does he wear an anorak and bicycle clips on his trouser legs? Is his hair slicked down? Does he wear tank tops and speak "like a bit of a Norman"?

                Why would you need to ask when you have obviously met him because your description is spot on?

                  Why would he have a French accent?
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    I've got a contract through one member - not a regular poster though.
