Indeed. Porn gives a false impression of plumbers; they're never available when you need one....

One does not simply forget Kira Reed. ...

Correct.

@OP - is your current contract inside or outside IR35?

Not sure I'd even tell the client I'd got another contract. Sounds like a place you wouldn't want to go back to so burning bridges shouldn't be difficult....

More interesting, we have a liar calling another MP a liar.

Claimed she had 3,000 people sleeping rough in her constituency. Actual figure was approximately 30. That's just one of a string of things. They're all as bad as each other and Johnson is what the Americans refer to as a Johns...

If they give you a full PAYE illustration which matches with an umbrella calculator, most people would, not unreasonably, assume that the company knew what they were doing, especially to make it onto an agency PSL (yeah, I know...).

Ooh, missed that one, have you got a link please?...

Waiting for the Devon one to be precariously on the edge of an eroding cliff. They'll have taken out insurance against the Porsche being won (similar to hole-in-one car wins at golf days)....

Admin fees involved in incurring the expense - this company secretary is bloody expensive and even more expensive if she gets the boot (i.e. divorce!)...

[LondonManc]

Can she put fires out?...

Ah, UCLA, the fine, woke establishment that thinks soap dispensers are racist! True story

+1 for Scan. Their click and collect service is great too, if you're near enough to the Horwich junction on the M61. By the time you've driven the 20 minutes to get there, it's usually ready. Cables are cheap as chips here too....

An LSD-fuelled 70s meets Madchester song so crap it's catchy....
