Just been given a Creme Egg as an Easter give(woohoo)at my current gig with all the permies...does this mean I fail IR35?

Why not just shout out "only a creme egg - I expected something from Thorntons at least". Then throw it at your boss.Originally posted by webooJust been given a Creme Egg as an Easter give(woohoo)at my current gig with all the permies...does this mean I fail IR35?Comment

After leaving it in Liquid Nitrogen.Originally posted by andrew_neil_ukThen throw it at your boss.
Interestingly, in a kind of son of threaded way, if you place a raw egg in liquid nitrogen, take it out and crack the shell, it appears to be cooked (white and solid). When it warms up again, it turns into runny raw egg.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Why not go to the shops and buy yourself the biggest bestest egg you can find and declare to all the permies that this is what your boss (you) buys his staff (also you). Then tell them about how unfair IR35 really is while you fill your face with your tax free egg (if purchased out of your £140 per year bit). Then pass the little egg back stating that consuming this could effect your IR35 status and in so doing cost you many many thousands of pounds.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Creme Eggs first came out in 1923.
I'm sure I remember them being launched in the 70s.
I agree they used to be much bigger.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment
