It's always a "mate of mine" with you.Originally posted by psychocandy View PostMate of mine worked as support for a dodgy place. His role involved being sent to customer sites to fix app problems. Trouble was the app was crap and just didnt work so lots of irate customers.
He went to one place who'd had a right run in with mates employer and it all kicked off. They locked the gate, locked the doors and told mate he wasnt leaving until if was fixed.
He ended up having to call the police to come and talk sense into them.
"mate of mine" got taken hostage
"mate of mine" was actually inside IR35 but pretended he wasn't
"mate of mine" got stuck in a sheep
