      I missed that thread - apologies to all for double post.

      But - do you think that el reg got the story from CUK? They usually acknowledge credits...

        It was my regular agent - the one who placed me at ClientCo. Taken me to Rhodes24 and wagamama a few times.

                  Pot Noodle on chips, but only when it's the Chicken and Mushroom one.

                  Made that delicious discovery when I was a student living on pound-a-pints. If only I could live on 30 quid a week now, I could retire. Bloody inflation.
                  Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

                    I think I would prefer wagamama. Any tips for me?
                    You lucky blighter. I managed to take 4 contractors out in Liverpool a few years ago, pie, chips and 8 pints £27.00. If I found one of my agents wasting money on contractors at somewhere like the OXO tower then they would get the bullet. (Unless of course there was the prospect of some good further business
                    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

                      I do give the agent lots of tips on clientco and the heads up on opportunities.

                      Or do I? maybe I wanted just to drop in a euphamism.
