      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!

        Personally the biggest mistake in my view Thatcher did was to snatch away milk from children in school - just WTF was she thinking?
        She didn't

            There we are. I've fixed the poll so it asks the question that you did ask. Apologies for any inconvenience.

                      I suppose the taxpayer having to foot the bill for her funeral has to be accepted, after all our taxes also pay for the keeping horrible criminals anonymous or protecting them from the angry public.
