Why do you think the UK is not part of Europe?

[sasguru]

Slagging off the UK?

I think he's referring to Lord Haw Haw and Master Bates.

[AtW]

As I report to the MD, my "annual review" consists of lunch at a good restaurant and a general chat of how the year has been.

[AtW]

I presume that was aimed at sasguru and AtW, both of whom are not contractors...Surely by your reckoning then links such as this should not be on this website.

It's true I am not a contractor anymore and in truth I've only been one for a few very well paid weeks but since then I've risen above it to a new level of a business owner/manager!

[sasguru]

Just like you seem to do with your wonderful permie job and permie colleagues?

I was contracting when I joined and I may be a contractor again.
Plenty of people chop and change.
Are you suggesting that anyone who stops contracting should hand in his badge as it were?

Yes, and line up at the exit to be shot!

With your attitude you'll soon become one - probably benched.

I think we have to assume he doesn't call his boss 'cretin' every day. Probably more like 'sir', 'big boy' or 'choccybum'.

I get it - sas is his bosses' chauffeur: this leaves him with lots of time to post tulip on CUK but at 5:30pm sharpish is drives his boss back home, possibly some medium level civil servant.

By "going back to contracting" he means that he might become a taxi driver yet again.

You know it makes sense.

[ThomasSoerensen]

That, I think, is one thing upon which we can both agree.

Anyway, we already have enough trolls of our own, and if we ever need any lessons about other nations' sovereignty and borders from a German, then we will call you.

What part of 'Contractor UK' do you not understand?

I suposed I could refer you to some German dude when you call.

Or I guess any European will do

The part of ContractorUK I do not understand I ask about. One example could be this thread. They provide a nice insight into the mindset of the English people. Hopefully not representative but usually quite entertaining.

BTW: For racism/xenophobia to work more effectively, get the nationality of your target right, then you look slightly less like a tosser. HTH

It must be galling, then, that a taxi driver knows more about everything, bar hashing algorithms, than you.
