Nothing like a free lunch, well worth the 20% cutThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Originally posted by Old GregHad lunch with my pimp - my agency is pretty good so I went ahead. She was open enough beforehand to say that she wanted to understand the client better. I'm new to contracting and wanted to understand how pimps operate - how many CVs they receive, how many they put forward, how to improve your chances of getting to interview. Fair exchange of info and a good lunch.How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Originally posted by DodgyAgentSo do you pay the agencies for work that is done on your behalf that comes to nothing? Do you ever stop and think that all the times you call up an agency, get them to send out your CV, arrange interviews and it all comes to nothing, and wonder who pays for this?Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt1st Time - contracting some years ago in Wellingborough (never again) she said she was coming down to take me and the ops manger out for a meal. She turned up a bit stewed and ignored me so I walked. Interestingly enough the guy who got me the next contract drove up to Wellingborough, took me out to lunch and I signed there and then.
2nd Time - contracting just outside Munich. She turned up, said hello and spent the whole time talking to the PFY desktop weenies. Walked.
3rd Time - doing a 2 week contract in the city and the guy came along and took me to a nice Indian lunch with loads of beers and we had a great time. They tried their hardest to get me more work, paid straight on time but never found me anything. Shame.
4th Time - couple of weeks ago they had their summer barbeque. Popped along, very nice but pretty much ignored as everyone seemed to know everyone else so I went back to my hotel
I work for a lot of other companies, software houses, business partners, etc. and they're always taking me out for lunch and dinner so I deal more and more with them.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
