      Current one - seven contractors. Between the lot of us, this week there has been enough work to go round for maybe 8 hours.

      Boring, but lucrative.
      That sounds like heaven to me...

      Is there room for one more stroker?

          Sadly not - they have twigged that there is no work, so everyone is slowly leaving. Two more go this week...

            Well, lets face it I wrote a Child Support Support System in a couple or so days, on my own. It ain't hard to do. How long have they been at it?

            If anyone from UK gov is reading, it is still available: £500 mil, turnkey with support staff, all ready to roll with a weeks notice. Anyone with half a brain cell could see that is an utter bargain!

              I believe you. But what about those with a whole brain cell?

                Get yourself a high-powered lobbiest at...ooo...£5000/day and perhaps you can get yourself in there.

                  Well, they by definition, obviously don't work for the party.

                    But gifting to the party is a gift that just wants you to keep on giving. As EDS appears to have discovered, allegedly.

                      Many on this board have been, quite rightly cynical in their view of the cosy relationship between EDS and the Government - however it is noteworthy that since the departure of Tony Blair the goodwill factor has evaoporated- rapidly.

                      Coincidence perhaps - or was Mr Blair in the pocket of ... no - nothing could be further from the truth.

                      Whatever was I thinking ??
