    might be cheaper to get yourself a rentboy Luke rather than plying sock with ale in order to get in his boxers.

    or....try shimano, he'll do a turn for free.

    Sock - think twice mate - take the Sheffield gig. I am stuck here and could do with a wing-man to share an occasional ale !

    Actually no. Polish industry is having to employ Ukrainians as the are not many polish people left willing to do the tulip jobs.

    Ah, so you'll be importing all the eastern European cabbage for us, then.

    Southern Asia and Africa maybe.
    Just 10 years ago Sheffield was almost a decent place to live

    After talking to the company secretary (my mum ) decided on contract 2. Got into this game to work abroad a bit more which is what it will let me to do. Still 12.5% more than my last gig so we are all happy.

    started a topic Contracts like buses....

    Contracts like buses....

    Whys chosing a contract so hard.....I mean it should be easy. Most money wins.....

    This is going to take a while.


    Contract 1: Business Analyst
    Rate: X
    Loc: Sheffield
    For: 22 weeks

    Not in an industry that I want but the contract is longer and it pays more. However no contract has any guaranteed lengths etc.


    Contract 2: Data Analyst
    Rate: X - 10%
    Loc: Welwyn Garden City (wonder if you can guess who its for!!!)
    For: 12 weeks (chance of extension)

    Going back to a Coy I did work for a year ago (different department). Loved it get to see the project I started to completion (sort of). Get to travel alot of eastern Europe. Reckon the lack of rate could be made up as a lot of travel means no miles for me and hotels paid for by client, other role have to pay for this out of the rate.
