    Good tactic for getting out of a contract though

        No Counting House this year?

        EDIT: just seen the thread in Social
        Counting House looks like a goer - we can have a bit on the gallery with no min spend.

        Failing that, ship and shovell will let us have their room (I'm waiting for them to get back to me on min spend) but they can only do a pre-ordered buffet. (which I keep wanting to type as bugger!)

        Not sure which is better - food at CH better, but a separate room gives us the privacy to indulge in a snowball fight or a little light bondage if the mood so takes us

          Flippin 'eck. I've only gone and done something productive* today.



          By productive, I mean for my own benefit but helpful at clientco

            What you and Tarbera want to get up to in your own time has nothing to do with the rest of us.

              You could have picked the permies up off the floor. I reckon they were wondering how much we're paying this guy vs how much he delivers - not necessarily a comfortable path to start down...
              £19k how much of a moneypit is he buying?

              Could get a nice Mondeo for that.

                A new Mondeo probably costs more than £19k (my passat retails at £34000 ho ho ho).
