    Yes - they are less well paid now - that's why NL are not popular around here!

    What the hell is wrong with being a contractor working for the government like?

    Are you a contractor yourself Woo?

    We're self employed you know - why wouldn't we go for the most highly paid gigs?

    But, they are just stealing money from everyone else via the government.
    yes, they are all bloodsuckers.

    they like the money, but they just encourage more of it.
    I'd prefer the figure at between 1-2%. just my opinion.
    maybe I'm wrong , maybe it should be higher at say 50%???
    I'm not sure of your point, woo

    Are you saying anyone who earns money through the public sector is a bloodsucker?

    What are you going about woo?

    That was some good ranting there, but I cant quite get who you are angry at! is it contractors, civil servants, "this country", the world? what?
