Do I really need Professional Indemnity isurance?
Has anyone ever needed it? Very difficult to prove these things at the best of times, and I'm not many on here act without any kind of interaction whereby someone else should be overseeing, testing etc... If you're working for a large company / gov org, aren't doing anything willfully...- Muttley08

Working Away - Experiences?!
Done it for last 5 years - gets a bit boring when you've got a family. Saying that - if you're single, get yourself down to the big smoke - better rates and better social scene.- Muttley08

Hangover, what helps
McD's always does the trick for me! Other burgers are available... Scientifically it's supposed to be a mixture of re-hydrating and eating to get some vitamins inside ya. -

As a league fan who's seen Sonny Bill a few times - I think Mike is gona get hammered. Some of the tackles SB has made in the NRL are out of this world - just hope he gets enough of the game, he's awesome to watch! -
Compromise Agreement
Agents used to wind me up with this lot....and they've probably caught us all out once when we were new to contracting. Nowadays I find it very amusing thinking of them on the other end of the line trying their little hearts out :tongue- Muttley08

Agency payments, or not...
Or you p1ss him off and destroy the relationship. Sort it out - its probably an admin issue. Don't let it get personal with the agent.

Sneaky fishing call from agent, I think
