take the perm or short term contract.

You missed a treat. The dole queue is a fine British institution.

But while you're changing your name, could you also change your picture? There's something not quite right about a hybrid lizard-baby flicking its tongue onto a man's finger.

as a fan of the "v series" the picture stays

OK,
but you might as well change your forum name now.

The DHSS are a bit harder to fool than that.

never claimed a penny in my life

Go permatazoa for the next 18 months, use that time to learn some of the next lot of "in demand skills". Then you'll soon claw back what you lost the prior 18 months. HTH.

confirmed the perm role , at least it will be easy enough to retrain whilst earning a few beer tokens for doing not much work and it`s close to home.

I escaped that personal hell in 1989...

I started dreaming about offing the Technical Director & thought it was time to go...

What was really upsetting was that despite (in the dream) taking good solid body hits, the bastard kept on getting up...

So it was more of a nightmare than a dream, really...

If you HAD killed him, you'd have been out by now

This is true, though the first 5 years were bad, the 2nd 4.5 were worse.

Oh dear Zeity. I was lucky and had the chance to escape my living hell. Hope you do too ....

This will be the wrong answer but - take the contract. If the perm job does not interest before you start it really isn't going to get any better.
Been there, done that and it was f-ing awful

Good luck!

Might be 3-month rolling?

You don't sound like you are exactly a contracting hot-shot with rare skills and a bright future at the top end of the game.

hey i have some rare skills but they are so rare no one wants them

You don't sound like you are exactly a contracting hot-shot with rare skills and a bright future at the top end of the game.

Therefore, given the impending economic armageddon approaching the UK, take the perm option.
