    Ive been invited to a two hour lunch with other contractors. Out of date nibbles and generic orange juice probably.

    I'd rather my agent respond in some way to my requests/queries throughout the year than invite me to a half-hearted christmas do.

    I want my old agent back!

    That happened to me too, maybe I should have become an IT contractor!

    Struck them off my PSL.

    Agency aren't having any sort of do (I've never been taken out by an agent yet as a Contractor. Plenty of times in my Client days).

    Client isn't having a do.

    Client's Client has cancelled all staf dos.

    Merry Christmas!

    So good old fashioned fun. No harm in a bit of tongue fun.

    It sounds like you failed to read post 3 in this thread and therefore missed the humour in my post.
