Well we wanted to find out about any extensions as all of our contracts finish end of August. So we're guaranteed until end of this year with what looks like extensions until end of 2017. Only took him for some food, 3 half litres of beer and a rather nice Grappa, quite a nice chap actually....

Oh, and £50 sponsorship on clientCo's charity bikeride (no IR35 - permies got paid for their day off, I didn't!)

Such profligacy I would sack him

Agency treat tonight

New chap at the agency is taking us (4 in the team) out for a meal tonight, just wondering how much we should take him for? Seeing as its 32 degrees we're all going to be hot and thirsty and seeing as he's young and looking at his Xing profile (used to run a cafe, used to work in a cafe, used to be a cutter, don't ask me!) I think we might be able to fleece him
