That the contract you want comes up as soon as you have started another? Just had a pimp on the phone for a role doing what I'm doing here but based in Halifax.....a couple of junctions up the M62 from me. These clowns had this role while I was out of work and it went dead. Now its back. So the chances are that they will be pulling a contractor up from london while I do the opposite to his commute!.

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 have a cunning plan. Grow a beard and agree with the other contractor that he should grow a beard; wear similar clothes to each other. Then swap places again and you can both work closer to home; nobody will notice!And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -

IMO it is because people don't know enough maths. Ask people the odds of getting 5 heads or 5 tails in a row upon tossing 20 coins and they will guess 1 in 20 or something like that(if they understand the question). The odds are 25%. There is more chance of grouping than people think.Comment
