 No - I have a mortal fear of getting caught.
 
 When I need to bolster my CV, I add it through training and experience in my current contract.
 
 Currently volunteering for a big implementation of some SM software that's going to make me a very popular person later in the year.  
 
 It's all about thinking about your next contract before your current one comes to an end... "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."
