    Indeed. What the most contencious issues that raises peoples hackles in prof? Dual contracts. Where can I get the best rise, General. It's a pretty well thought out plan.

        I have a radiator I couldn't find a key that fitted. I realised I had a pair of pliers that worked.

        Though I've never licked the chutney spoon.

          I'm a heterosexual cis-female.

          I'm very happy to look at fit men in gladiator outfits without the minotaur head dress.

              Yes it is and you are correct. Even simpler is if the contract has times in it. If it says 9 to 5 or 8 hours a day or even (arguably) 'professional working day' then you are obliged to be available to the client for those times. Working on another client in those times is breach of contract.

              Rule of thumb. If you can't tell both clients exactly what you are doing you shouldn't be doing it.

              That's good advice NLUK. I've recently taken on two concurrent contracts and originally agreed to dedicate specific days to each client. However that didn't work so well as it meant I had several days gap till my two or three days a week with each, missing potential emails or meetings.

              I asked each client if they were happy that I split my time across the week as needed and both were fine with it. Now I usually work for both clients each day up to the total agreed days as per the SOWs.

                A Tory MP may want your pics. That's presuming they aren't a lesbian.

                Jamie Wallis has become the first MP to come out as trans, saying “how important it is to be yourself”.

                After being diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the Conservative backbencher spoke of feeling “this way since I was a very young child”.

                In a statement posted on Wednesday, Wallis also revealed being blackmailed about the issue soon after being elected, and being raped last year.

                The comments came hours after the prime minister, Boris Johnson, reportedly made a joke about trans people at a dinner for Tory MPs that was attended by Wallis.

                Wallis, who was elected as MP for Bridgend in 2019, wrote: “I’m trans. Or to be more accurate, I want to be. I’ve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and I’ve felt this way since I was a very young child.

                “I had no intention of ever sharing this with you. I always imagined I would leave politics well before I ever said this out loud.”

                Wallis said there had been a “close call” where their trans identity had nearly been made public in April 2020 by a blackmailer who sent photographs to family members.
