    a contractor with a concience ?

    only joking Mordy, it's nearly the weekend

    how's your old mate MF, he's been quiet this year

    how are his tat shops ?

    Milan.
    Yes I do have a bit of a conscience. I'd at least like to think if I did a tulip job I wuoldn't get any more contracts off that particular client. If only the same applied to the big boys.

    MF is OK, he's waiting for the sprog to drop. I spoke to him the other day. I didn't ask about the tat shop (I think he's back down to one now) but he's gone back contracting.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      I would like to chip in that in one part of my comul I'm a non-advising director of a financial services company and that the company specifically looks for ethical investments for our clients.

      Does surprisingly well, not only do we have clients that are attracted to us because of the ethical investments, the companies and funds we invest in do much better than the average as well.

      Business entrepreneurs survive on competition and profit. A social entrepreneur looks beyond profit to try and fundamentally change for the better the system he is working within.

      Many times; less can be more.

        How many simultaneous high-flying jobs do you have, threaded? I'm surprised you find the time for all your designing and inventing as well. You are like Leonardo Da Vinci meets Donald Trump meets William Hague.

        Not to mention your cycling, touring in your multiple Lambos, and posting on here. You are magnificent. Denmark is very lucky to have you.

          They are indeed, and it's Englands loss, all due to IR35: a particularly short sighted and vindictive piece of legislation IMHO.

          There again without IR35 I would probably still be writing dodgysoft for whatever lame brain organisation was paying my fee this week.

          So it's swings and roundabouts.

            Isn't Denmark taxation higher even without IR35?
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              A common misconception. In my circumstances I end up with more in my pocket in Denmark than I would in England.
