    What if I’ve written something that I’m sure the contractors here would appreciate in terms of humour? I don’t have any advertising or anything to sell I just want to help people and have a bit of a laugh while I do it.
    Not if you're a cockwomble.

      Are you particularly musical Old Greg?

      I have visions of you singing this to Craiiiiiiiig David “I was a cockwomble on Monday, I was a cockwomble on Tuesday...and on Thursday and friiiiday and Saturday”

        To clarify.

        The reason I gave you a stay of leave is because that particular post gave the impression that this was a joke account was created by a regular and created for his/her and our amusement. If it isn't...

        I do not appreciate you, as a newbie wet-behind-the-ears contractor, pumping the regulars for information that you do not yet possess and then passing that information off as your own in some other blog. If your blog is real, you are advertising yourself and your own knowledge in it, I view that as fraud.

        HTH.

          Oh hang on a minute! That isn’t what I’m doing, I’ve been a contractor for years just never heard of “contractor attitude” that some poor sharepoint fella was told he didn’t have enough of!

          I am new on here not new to contracting and my ears are drier than the Sahara desert in summer

            Sharepoint isn't a niche skill and you are as mentioned in this thread at a disadvantage as your "contractor attitude" will be questioned, usually by the agent, before it even gets to the client.

              This is what I meant, what did this mean?

                Ah, Specifically In General, making a crisis out of a melodrama.

                Carry On.

                It's so inneresting, innit.

                How's the recumbent doing?

                Any nice banana suits?

                Bubble fronted DMUs?
                When the fun stops, STOP.
