and thus a benefit in kind - Wilmslow, as well as being at the company's beck and call 24-7, you'll be paying a big wad of tax for the privilege of using that phone.

What a mupp

Oh and you know this for a fact do you? Phones are not classed as a bik - I had a phone from a client for 2 years with one contract and it never touched my tax bill. So all the while I got free phone calls with no bills while you were presumably getting bills for your phone. I think that makes you more of a muppet then me.

As for being at the company's beck and call 24-7, what a crock. All phones come with an on/off function so that you can turn them off and on. So if you turn it off they cannot use it to call you. Simple but obviously a concept you struggle to deal with.

Wrong on both counts then. Well done!

What is the problem with a company mobile

Mobile indicate who is ringing so you can decide if you want to pick it up

Compan y Mobile = free phone calls

And a clear proof that you are able to telecommute since they can reach you anywhere and you can work anywhere.

Think of these things as swords. You need to handle them from the right size and hurt or you get hurt by them.

Great attitude, bet you're going to win employee of the year!

Gave yourself away there, HRH - how could a contractor win employee of the year from a client?

(e) say 'nice wanger'

Question 3 - If I told you I was a hapless, shambling buffoon, evidenced by my asking inane questions on a contractor message board all day, would you still respect me?

Question 4 - Assume the following situation. You live in a cul-de-sac with nightmare Eastern European neighbours who park inconsiderately by partially blocking your drive. How would you solve this so that the foreigners know who's da boss?

(c) Run home and tell Mummy ?
(d) Tell the offender to get their coat because they've pulled ?

question 4 - if you were in the gents and someone peed on your shoes would you

(a) thump them
(b) whine about it on some internet forum

Another day, another post from CUK's premier hapless, shambling buffoon.

I must admit, I'm starting to wonder if this "Wilmslow" character is a male version of Bridget Jones, but with giant stained Y-fronts instead.

Oh no.

"Wilslow's Y-fronts", a sitcom coming to DAVE soon....

question 1 - can you give an example of where you have bribed the interviewer to get the job?

Question 3 - If I told you I was a hapless, shambling buffoon, evidenced by my asking inane questions on a contractor message board all day, would you still respect me?

[DiscoStu]

Question 2: I have a complete inability to make decisions, therefore the decision whether or not to hire you will be taken by members of the CUK forum... Is this ok?

Spooky - I may be interviewing somebody in Bradford for a permie post at 3pm this afternoon. Surely not??
