    Network Rail

    Afternoon all. Been working on a secure site so not been able to follow the boards for a while (in working hours anyway). I've had an offer from said company but not sure whether to take it, largely on anecdotal evidence that it is an "interesting" place to work. Comments/experiences anyone?

    Problem Page

    Shorty tells me that his contract stipulates that he must produce a quality deliverable within a set period of time (but not too early) to the satisfaction of the user acceptance test team, otherwise he may come under IR35.

    Problem Page

    Each week CUK forum members are asked to help fellow contractors with their personal and business problems. This week, Shorty from Littlehampton writes: "I have been offered a contract at a pharmaceutical company that makes penis enlargement drugs. The agent says that if I take it for a month...

    Dilemma

    You have verbally been offered a contract at a reasonable rate in a convenient location. You have other (better) things "in the pipeline". You are bored but it is not long to Xmas and it wouldn't be the end of the world if it took longer to get a new contract. Your partner wants a holiday in...

    Oh dear : 1 in 10 call centres infiltrated...

    You can easily tell an imposter: - their name is plausible and goes with their accent - they speak clearly and have a reasonable command of English - each sentence is not suffixed with "innit" - they ask for bank details even though you've only called to report a line fault

    Political at my new place

    The big fat bird I used to work with would have needed them printed on A0 paper. Consulting = if your not part of the solution there's money to be made prolonging the problem (with acknowledgements to www.despair.com)

    Cater Allen are quite good, have been with them a while, decent interest on current account. Not sure how they rate for opening a new account.

    Anyone work(ed) with Newell & Budge?

    .. or Sopra Newell & Budge to give them their full moniker. I'd be interested in what they're like to sub-contract for, how they are on rates etc.

    Contract at Investment Bank

    They're more likely to want to do a criminal record checks, these seem all the rage these days.

    Car contract hire

    Interesting idea - would it work to put one through the company and only use it as a pool car?

    Car contract hire

    With zero notice period? If working away from home go for the Vito van and live in it during the week.

    ERP solutions company diversifies!

    Todays malapropism or whatever from a job ad: "You will be working for an ERP solutions company in Camberly managing client implantations projects with a typical value of 200k-250k." Maybe Jordan's one of the clients? Or they're redefining ERP (Extruded Resin Prosthetics?)

    Things to do between contracts

    Afraid not, only a boring one about breast feeding and nowhere near 9000 litres!
