The only secret you have baggy, is that you crap under the bed and think noone will notice.

Yah, that place had character but they knocked down the olde buildings and now it looks like downtown dubai with all its cranes...

The Master works here as well you know. He'll be after your autograph - should be good for an extension and a ride in his Tardis.

He's been away for a bit lately though. Project planning.

If I were you I'd delete all the information you have given here, the IT contracting world is small and anyone can trace you to this post !!

No, I didn't think you were really serious - even if you were an agent fishing, I didn't think you'd have that many posts without being spotted and booted out.

I haven't said anything that I shouldn't have but I do take what you said under advisement.

Or, alternatively, wear a burkha like Sandy to disguise yourself.

The interview wasn't a grilling but there was a technical test which, while not especially tough was very pushed for time

Hehe, you lot are a bunch of cards

I don't start until later this month. The hours sounds about right though.

I shall be commuting. Not too bad Ipswich->Liv St.

Can you give us your hiring manager name, email, mobile number and department? Do you know if they are looking for other contractors?
What was your interview like, what kind of questions do they ask?
