Genuinely taking a break from this bulltulip.

I'm going to take a flight to Greece to help the refugees who are fleeing war torn parts of the world.....

Will figure out what I'm gonna do when I am back.

You handing your notice in?

I packed in contracting in November 2014 (never say never but no intention of going back).

It's been said hundreds of times per year since I started in '94 that contracting has changed and is fu**ed. I genuinely believe that it is now. A few people will still make reasonable money at it, but in general terms it's fu**ed.

Yep. 100% agree. LibLabCon + Globalisation + HMR&C + Work Permit frenzy has seen to that.

Just seen roles advertised in Yorkshire welcoming people to apply for permits.

WTF

Spot On. By the time senior execs who pushed the offshore/ICT model have to admit that the financial advantages were, in fact, a great illusion (a bit like UK cuts to the budget deficit), then there will be no going back anyway.

I'm now a corner shop keeper (decided to take a job from a Bob as a cheap form of revenge) Much happier, less stressed, less well off admittedly , but I don't have to answer to anyone and I travel 3/4 of a mile to work every morning. If I have a client I don't like, I tell them to get the f**k out (although I kinda did that anyway).

So just summarising your position. You've dicked clients around by jumping ship, you've had 5 years of end to end gigs including a 'dream' gig and are now crying like a spoilt girl because you've failed a 3 stage interview (which isn't unheard of) and you are facing a bit of bench time.

That about right?
