    As the police may try their kettling tactic. You know what happened to Ian Tomlinson
    At least the police have decided to stick to kettling. When they move on to teabagging, things could get nasty.

      Personally I'd like to thank the organisers of the demo. Today I get to wear normal clothes - I was going to wear the Steel Panther t shirt I bought last night. Also we have been told that the place is shutting at lunch, but they will pay us for a full day. Can we have more of these protests?
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        Is it Control when security tell you that you shouldn't go out of the building between 12 and 2 because the riot, sorry I meant protest, is going to be going by the office.

        Does this affect IR35.
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

          Lucky b'stard - we get to dress down but instead of leaving early, it has been suggested to us that we work later to avoid the trouble?!?!?! WTF

          I appreciated the suggestion and I know where they can stick it.

            Last weekend in Amsterdam I had a look in a shop selling rather grungy clothing, similar to the stuff I used to buy at Millets or second hand shops when I was a stewed ent. They had a big poster of Kurt Cobain on the wall, whose trademark was to never wear clothes costing more than about 3 dollars, scruffy jackets starting at 1200 euros and bleach stained jeans starting at 500 euros. I left, doing my best not to react like Victor Meldrew.
            And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              I don't believe it.
              Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

                I know and the girl who sits opposite me has massive norks and her idea of dress down is to have a low cut top on. Quite spectacular!
