The 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.” -

I once worked with a contractor who claimed to have 2 plan B's and was working towards a 3rd.
The first was the aforementioned male escort. The 2nd, he penned trashy romance novels under a pseudonym (possibly based on his other adventures)
He was also taking helicopter lessons and was planning on buying one to offer an executive chauffeur service.
No idea how true any of that was but it always makes me laugh remembering.Comment

Offered the job there and then within 15 mins of the interview - got an extra 2k out of them but don't think they go any higher !
Do I - Stick it out for a few more weeks/months or take the permi role untill things look up ( lots of IT projects to work on there so would look good on the CV)?
...Being hounded for permie roles but not a sniff of a contract
I was offered a permy role mid February that required putting me through clearance. Meanwhile I have been searching for a decent paid contract above
about £300 per day without any luck. I get the interviews but the roles just vanish. Well the clearance has come through now and the offer is on the table and I start on Monday
I'm taking it as i've been out now for six months and even though the mortgage is paid off I do need some money coming in so I'm taking the role and actually looking forward to it. It's working away from home again but I actually get to either walk to work or cycle which is something that I have not managed to do for a long time so I might actually loose some weight.
Good luck all out there. The market is very bad and this is my third recession.
If you are offered a permy role and you are living off your savings then my view is that you would be mad to turn it down.Last edited by s2budd; 18 May 2009, 20:53.Comment
