    That was 12 years ago, and I'm still here. How's that for easy pickings?

    Yes, I'm a bog standard "within IR35" case. That's why, as I've said before, I've been paying it since it started in 2000. Obviously, I was much better off during the first 4 years of this contract, but I'm still doing ok.
