(Another) two year rule post
Simples, resign from that umbrella company and take a new contract (up to 1 day before 2 years) with another umbrella - they will have no knowledge of the first (revoked) contract. Talk with your feet, dont pay an umbrella company that plays silly.- scope

Retiring young?

iPhone 5S
We've seen the finger print technology a number of times before, I for one remember my 7-8 year old iPaq had finger print scanner for security (sure, old/different technology), but personally I NEVER used that feature, and I suspect it will be switched off on most iPhones as well.. I would be... -

I contracted in Norway - Ask me anything
100% Norwegian myself. :) I agree, it is expensive, BUT, as the average salary is double that of UK it is not as bad as it sounds.. I come from a pretty normal family (with normal jobs) but I have never in my life seen the same standard as the poor suffer in the UK, everybody in my extended...- scope
