I only clicked in as I thought it said National Freeloaders Day.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
Seriously, I spent a chunk of my luinch break browing the site. Lots of interesting and highly practical stuff in there.
We (freelances, that is) also get a positive endorsement from Call Me Dave. Cant see Bliar or the Gorgon doing that, somehow...Blog? What blog...?

NFD is a brilliant PCG ploy to change perceptions around freelance contractors and how the public see us. When IR35 was introduced, most people had the perception that we were simply tax dodgers. When we get the PM telling everyone that we are a vital part of the economy and that UK PLC needs the flexibility that we offer, it's much easier to then ask for them to bin the roadblocks that prevent us from reaching our full potential, for example, unfair and idiotic tax laws.
Its the culmination of years of reasearch, lobbying, building contacts such as the sponsors, Telegraph Media Group, and upping the profile of us freelance types. So next time someone says that Qdos does their insurance £10 quid cheaper, ask them to look at the bigger picture. As Mal always says, PCG don't do insurance. They do a shedload more.

Well let's see if the PCG can cope with this interweb malarkey and let me in tomorrow 'cos I've bought my ticket.
I'll report back tomorrow to let you know if they do or not..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Actually I only got 8/9 in the original unreleased test version, which was a bit of a disappointment. I queried one of the questions. Then got 9/9 of the released version with a different question.

Not if they don't let me in.Originally posted by v8gaz View PostBest report back Thursday. You'll be p155ed tomorrow
Though I'd expect the system to tell me if it was full and deal with a booking made within 48 hours of the event....."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
