    Its one of the reasons I keep hanging round though I should have left ages ago.

    Of course, it might be better if I just posted nonsense. But I don't want to tread on your toes. What can one expect from someone who likes HP sauce?
    Was this a monologue and you're coming out as schizophrenic?
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

      What can I say to cheers him up?
      Tell him you've gone permie so the average IQ went up a few points

        After April, he will be the only contractor in the (quite large) financial services company. And he is outside IR35. Awesome.

          Tell him about the pastie guy. In exactly the same position as contractors. Instead of spending 20 years whining and fighting in the courts, he just paid off the politicians and sorted out out in a week.

          Always makes me laugh.

          All it needed was a bribe.

            Is this like Greggs pasties? Doesn't NF like Greggs pasties? I can't see NF bribing anyone - but if so top man!

                I'm working with a guy who declared himself inside because he couldn't think of anyone that he could send in as a substitute offhand.

                  I'm working with a guy who has self declared inside refusing to take the QDOS assessment for £100.... We've both got a renewal until September but I will be around £20K better off. He panicked, took a perm offer then rejected it for an inside day rate.

                    I used to disagree with everything they said about you. I just changed my mind....
