[Qdos Contractor]

Ha, I've just helped Qdos Consulting promote their business.

All in a day's work.

Your brown paper bag is in the post.

It contains carrots.

Oh boy.. Lighten up.

Believe me... I am as light as I can get.

Why can't you resubscribe to PCG?

WHS as well..

With the greatest respect to QDOS, I don't think you have, as QDOS are an established Accountant on this forum, and their reputation is governed by their contribution to useful threads on this site. QDOS are fully capable of holding their own without numpty posts asking for information that could be googled on the internet.

Sorry to be harsh, but unless you are the greatest contractor this site has to have, I would hold back from making such statements.

True. But what's wrong with asking an easy question while continuing on with my busy day...

What's wrong is that you give those who are not having a busy day an excuse to argue with you all day in General. As you have found.

True. But what's wrong with asking an easy question while continuing on with my busy day, then coming back to find the answer with minimal effort? Any fool can google it, it's about getting more info from the experts and using the best of that info.

Seems not......

Ermmmm.... If it takes an expert to tell you where to get an IR35 friendly contract from rather than googling it (which actually would take less time to find than asking some intelligent contractors and Accountants / Umbrellas), then there is a serious and fundamental problem.

If you have a scenario and after googling it, and / or searching on this forum, you can't answer the question, then there is a problem. I use to fall into the trap (and sometimes still do) of asking questions before doing any research. As the saying goes, Google is our friend, until it dies and disappears.

But it isn't for spoon feeding people that can't do a bit of their own research.......

Whole point of this board is obvious. You never know what people might come back with. More information = more effective decision making.

Seriously ... I used to believe that contracting required self starters and highly developed individuals, who can work effectively on their own initiative.
