    Start doing support gigs, you won't have to worry about hitting 40%.

    And for those asking for more options - this poll doesn't apply to you
    Sounds like we're in much the same boat - no way I could've got through last year without hitting 40%. Might stand a chance this year though.

    Not enough options. I signed on a few weeks ago for the first time and don't pay tax any more. In fact my council tax is paid for me now. Hurrah for outsourcing, open-door immigration and fast track wheezers. The dole or tax credits is the future.
