    Also you did not include entertainment in your calculations, from earlier posts that was your bigest cost.

      His living as a lodger in someone else's house or he's doing what Aussie's are known for - 3 in a room.

      Anyway since he's been in trouble with HMRC according to other threads where he's tried to evade tax he's had to live this way.

        When you think about it, and reinforced by some of the stories in this thread, I think we the CUKers would make excellent spies.

        The constant living out of a suitcase hotel to hotel, sometimes country to country. The aversion to staying in one 'job' for long. The (sometimes) exuberant lifestyle the contracting money affords. The level of lying, scheming, and downright fantasism that goes on day in day out on the forum.

        Plus, I know my family wouldn't think it out of character if I turned up in an Aston Martin (I've pissed enough money away on fancy cars over the years). Maybe if I started knocking out bad guys at dinner parties, depends how drunk I was.

        So MI5, MI6 et al. Come and get us, we need a plan B. We can't be any worse than Johnny English.

          Some. Some would make good spies and some wouldn't.

          Sally Anne would get pissed on the first night and blurt out not only her mission but say where Lord Lucan is hiding.
          Wilmslow would be spotted setting up a massive CCTV camera and dropping Rhyponol in everyones drinks.
          Zeity would start grabbing flies with a long lizard tongue and showing off alien tech.

          Good spies would be

          Cojak would blend into the background playing 'Cleaning Windows' on a Ukelele.
          EO would be coming up with stories so implausible that they'd have to be believed.
          AtW would pass as a typical dodgy waiter with ridiculous false moustache.
          What happens in General, stays in General.
          You know what they say about assumptions!

                I did this a week ago. After 8 years of permiedom I handed in the notice. Not sure what I am going to do and have not looked at any contract jobs either. Spending months without money coming in is scary.

                  If the work dried up and the warchest emptied I'd be busking during the day (paid rehearsal time), and gigging at night.
