    Sorry not a rasist and have loads of antipedian friends, however as a British Born contractor I do get p*ssed off when I find that nearing the end of a contract I can't find a new one.

    I have been working within Banking for over 10 years! And in present contract for just over half of that. Before the flame throwers come out I know I've had a good run, but I have also lived pretty well and am not sitting on a pot of gold now.

    Also I look around and see the level of some of the contractors working in my present bank and I find it hard to believe how some of them have jobs.

    Rant over !
    BNP alert!!!

      The old chestnut to absolve yourself from your own bigoted views.

      Not sure if you have noticed but we are experiencing the worst recession of modern times. This, rather than the gentlemen with the funny twanging accents, is more likely to be the the reason why you cannot find another contract

      Well they are working there and very soon, you won't be. Your options are:
      a) Go on the dole
      b) Retrain as a teacher
      c) Brush up your CV and apply for another contract.
      d) Retire this sockpuppet
      There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to think

        If you're so good, why are you the one being dropped from a long-term contract?

          You're sorry you're not a racist? Get on with it then, if that's what you want.

          That's usually a term used by 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants trying to prove their credentials and rights.

          Your smugness does you no credit.

          Too late. You lit a fire and threw petrol on it yourself.

          Well just excuse me a moment while I cry tears of blood for you, you poor thing.

          It's OK, I'm better now.

          Now look at yourself and conclude...

          I somehow suspect not.

            See this is how a sockie should be created. Just credible enough and talking just enough bulltulipe to get you going.

            I thank you.

                As an antipodean I would like to humbly apologise for stealing Maveric's contracts. I will ensure I lower my skill set so things are easier for him in the future.
