Negotiating a new rate

[wonderwaif]

Well of course you are free to do so. The question isn't one of whether you are allowed to. It's whether you will achive a positive result from doing so (for you individually and the contracting bortherhood as a whole). Continually negotiating an increased rate is likely to pee clients off both you, and contractors as a whole.




Now you are being stupid.

Now now Tim. You have been around long enough to know how it works.
Someone starts a thread, a few replies are posted which are vaguely on topic or abuse Chico, then it spins off at a tangent.
This thread is now about fat geordie lasses so I'll thank you to respect that.
I don't think we really disagree on the practicalities, but I maintain that once a contract is honoured there is nothing wrong in negotiating new terms for a new contract. Whether it makes sound business sense is another matter entirely.

Stop eating pies, then. Otherwise we'll start calling you Mrs. Threaded

But they're so tasty!!!!!

Actually, I am going to attempt to stop eating pies on Monday. I'm going for a monumental lash fest this weekend n Northampton (with all my old uni mates) and I'm going to go completely nuts, then on Sunday when I return to no job and a couple of months off, I am going to pack in the fags, get on a "healthy eating" thing, and start going on the treadmill and stuff.
Basically, I am going to become a dull bitch.

Course I'll probably post on here on Monday lunchtime whilst eating the dominos pizza I ordered cause i was too fat and lazy to even go into the kitchen to make dinner

But you said you were going on a 'Healthy Eating' kick.
I'm just trying to get in first before you get really fit and the competition gets tougher.

Well they do say that fat lasses try harder in the bedroom, maybe Wonderwaif can let us know if it's true if his flirting works

Not to mention, female on the CUK boards, every geek on here is going to flock round you...

ha ha ha - this bloke in a club once actually said to me "you're really pretty - I'd go out with you if you lost weight". No word of a lie, that was his patter.

You guys are smooooooth!

You should give one a try man - we're an aquired taste!

And when your wife finds out you can blame her by saying she makes you feel middle aged

He sounds like a typical Geordie man - what was his next line "Tits oot"?
