I didn't even read your initial post carefully it seems, because I overlooked the fact that you had been out of contract for a few months. Was this because no opportunities presented itself, nothing came off or because you wanted a break? Either way, I would have thought a significant gap in your CV would be more of a problem for potential future customers than you plying your trade in multiple industries.
Umm, it's kind of a long story but I was terminated after 8 months at my last role because a permie wanted me to lie for her about a budget issue, I wouldn't, she followed me into the street and screamed at me, still I wouldn't...very scarey and messy. (hence my being nervous about another contract role)
I had a break to do some art stuff (which is my real passion) and to recover from the nightmare that was my first contract...

I bet you guys think I am a real numpty now !
Sounds like the permie woman was the strange one. You stood up for yourself and remained calm and professional like any good contractor would have (well OK i'd have rolly shoutd back at her and told her where to stick her job, but hey ).
Oh and we haven't forgotten about the drinks, where are they ???

What did I say?
Take this contract - you might get lucky and find yourself in a proper PMO.

This might be a good excuse for a CUK Xmas p1ss up.
I might even find an excuse to be in London in December...
