    Nah, got loads of American tourists to do that. They think it's original.

    I am more likely to say. "Another rum and coke, please" or "Put another bottle of Stella on my tab".
    Blair, you cannot reach me now,
    No matter how you try,
    Goodbye cruel Labour,
    Your end is nigh.

        IT'S BRILLIANT!

        Except, I only go snorkelling. I keep saying to myself that I should learn to dive but I am not confident in the water for that. Been down in the submarines though!

        When I go back at the end of the year I must do something about it. I’m back in the UK ‘coz my old mum is not well and … I’m soon going to be an orphan.

          I thought Caribbean Pirates looked more like Jonny Depp, rather than a middle-aged fatty with a long uncured beard. Are you sure you are not Threaded?
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              All I see is a bird showing her muff. Not sure if it's platted though but certainly quite unkempt...
              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                So like a temporary contract. I.e. 1 year contracts with fixed holidays, sick pays and so on and penalties if terminated before. In the continent actually those contracts are quite common as companies don't want to hire permanent people (permies have rights in EU, it's not like in UK). Is it becoming common here too?

                Yep, something like that. Some large firms in certain sectors have engineers that have been 'on contract' all their working lives. I'd hazard a guess that this sort of behaviour is why the HMRC dreamed up IR35 and inflicted it even on us Limited's on 3 and 6 month project-based or interim stints. IBest consider them as fairly well paid permanent jobs with the possibility of squeezing a little (just a little) more usable cash out of them than the equivalent permie job.
                It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. www.areyoupopular.mobi
