          Basically, contracting is like prostitution. No matter how bad and how ugly you are, there's always someone out there desperate enough to **** you for a few quid.
          Now I see why you moved out of contracting.

                Only once had a problem, didn't fit on one contract and got sneakily tulip canned from it early. Was a surprise to be honest. They wanted a meek person to toe the line. Not me I'm afraid & so I didn't fit in with the sneaky back stabbing work shy thickos.
                That'll be me then...Anyway, we gave you your precious network back (well, most of it)...

                  Undergraduates are very clean nowadays unless they are in the Computer Science and Engineering departments.
