      Just finished reading Part Two. Definitely worth your time. Like a true contractor he managed to keep invoicing despite his captivity, though I did literally laugh out loud when reading that some paper-pushing department of the company he worked for said he was being audited for not submitting a timesheet for two and a half years.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        In 2009 they came in with a flash drive of military files that they couldn't access. Basically they were just hidden files, so I unhid them and opened them up, and it was a PowerPoint chart of all these people who had been arrested.
        Bloody idiot military intelligence. They didn't even encrypt the data. Morons.

          I can just imagine some agency drone talking about gaps in the CV...

                    The sky's the oyster for that guy if he wanted to cash in on his story. Fascinating read.
