How much rate rise to cover no expensese after 2 year rule kicks in?
Why not ask to work 2 days on site, 3 days at home. Then the 24 month rule doesn't apply.- Grinder

Best way to sell a car
I'm not certain they would scrap a runner with MOT, but it is a possibility. I did sell a car from my driveway about 3 years ago - I put the £300 price tag on the window and got an offer of £225 and reluctantly accepted. It had about £80 worth of road tax on it so they got a bargain. If you do... -

Best way to sell a car
How about driving it to a scrapper - I bet they will offer you £250 for a runner with MOT. Just check the small ads in your local paper. I'd vote ebay though. Just be really honest and thorough in the description. -
Prince 2 renewal
As said above, PRINCE2 isn't a project management certification, just a certification for a framework. The framework brings certain advantages for large organisations such as standardised approach, templates, progress reporting, risks, issues logs etc. Your negative statements about project... -
Prince 2 renewal
Having a chuckle about all the witty remarks. Keep it up guys, I forgot how entertaining it can be on this forum!:grin I was one of the last few thousand to take the essay-based Practitioner exam back in 2007. I must admit, when I went into it I thought it would give me an edge, but when I saw... -

Renewal of Contract and negotiating rates
I also smell a rat here - sounds like the agency is trying to squeeze more margin out of you. I had an agency squeeze me at the same time the client was offering more to keep me. However, my contract had clauses to prevent me talking to the client about rates. I don't know whether this is...- Grinder

Finger/Knuckle cracking
I don't mind the smell of curry or the cracking knuckles. The hocking phlegm is rather horrid, and this does seem to be more common among our overseas cousins. However, one curious circumstantial fact struck me the other day, that since a clutch of onshore-offshore visitors left for home... -
Contract Termination
The answer depends on your attitude to risk. The only offer worth anything is a firm offer. A promise of an offer is not an offer at all. You could say you can't respond until Monday, but you risk losing both.- Grinder

Home office construction project - business asset?
Thanks for the helpful advice, Clare. Clippy, thanks for your patience - I did find one of those but the other one I missed and it does seem to spell it out better. There was also a thread about an unattractive garden pod which looked awful and seemed hellishly overpriced. I think its back to...- Grinder
