Yay!
I don't hate women, I just don't trust any of them as far as I can throw them.
I've heard the women at work talking about xy or z's new boyfriend and they are all obsessed about how much they earn or how much they spent on the valentines day gift. Where they got taken for a weekend away etc, what the hotel cost. get over yourself love.
It would cost you more than to take a woman out to dinner even once. Ok, the very tiny number of blokes who have a high sex drive and have the charm to pull whenever they want are entitled to call prossie user saddos but I am betting that does not apply to 95% of CUK regulars.
The other thing, I would totally second what that chap in the article says, these were really likeable ladies doing what they did because they wanted to and it paid far more than some dull factory job, not screwed up drug addicts as on the streets. They also had excellent protection on call against any nutters.
Agreed. They should legalise it and make them pay tax on it.
Its the worlds oldest profession and i guess it'll still be around in the second before the world finally gets wiped out by the sun going supernova.
Well, I'm still ahead, after 17 years of marriage, even on "professional rates" -and she's VERY good, and, before you ask, not available to you. And have you told your girlfriend?
Why would I want to sleep with your wife? Not sure what logic made you write that.
Girlfriend...I don't have one, in any case what would I have to tell her. I did until we went out for a meal and I was told "you can pay as you have loads of money". Right...I'd have been more than happy to pay it all if she had offered to pay half - but assuming I will pay becuase I'm apparently "loaded". Think she maybe she liked "me" for the wrong reasons - she only knew I was a contractor as we met at ClientCo. Everyone else gets told I am a lorry driver, keeps the more genuine ones around.

Assuming you both decide you "want it" regularly, with her only, and you choose the positions in bed (mutuality of obligation, no substitution, control) I take it she'd be hit by IR35 on her "earnings"?

They're required to pay tax on it anyway - the tax law doesn't distinguish between legal and non-legal earnings, it only recognises taxable income.
And yes, I'm a saddo posting tax shyte at 23.50 on a Friday night. Pat Kenny and the Late Late show really is that boring.

Nope, that would be a direct contract between the two parties. No pimp in between, you see?
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
