Budge up, make some room on t'Bench.

Will be done by the end of the month.

Suppose I could work on Plan B until we are needed to rescue the shambles it will invariably develop into around mid May.

I misread that and thought you said mid-day

I worked with Microsoft 18 months ago and I asked the pimp who I worked through at the time what their position will be post April '20 and he says they have done the same as the banks, no engagement with PSC's whatsoever, either go on payroll or walk.

Quite surprised by this as MS do like to be contractor heavy.

Had the email renewal today for my Silver Partner Membership (£1500). I have asked some senior bods in MS why should I pay this when you don't see me as a genuine company to work with on a B2B relationship. Not expecting a reply, but it's a slow day.

You won't get a response - for me the membership is worth it for the Dynamics licenses but I'm probably rather unique in needing all of them..

Yeah not expecting much back, however one of them I connected to via LI has provided email address so they've got full chapter and verse.

Yes it is handy for the licenses and also the free Azure £75 per month subs; that has been great for POCs/demos.

Can you give more details on the free Azure subs? I'm learning Azure now and would love some more free Azure credits because I've already used my free trial.

They're not "free" you pay an annual fee and get monthly credit as part of the package

Saw a nice ad today, "Business Solutions developer", "East of England".

Seems to be health related, Crystal report, Java, SQL Server etc.

Inside IR35, helpfully gives different rates for PAYE, Umbrella and Ltd.

£15.13, £16.96 and £18.69 per hour respectively...

I'm sensing they may not get many or indeed any candidates.

That's got to be some direct cheapskate. An agency wouldn't waste their time on it. Rishi Sunak's mate perhaps?
