So far, he's slated contractors as a group as a whole. 'Lazy','Money grabbing','not worth the money'!!! He's going mental!!
Wahey!! (Begby style)
He's just going for a fag. I'm gonna head over and wind the jockey well up......
Suggestions for approach.

Just wink at him, give him a thumbs up and make a quiet "kerching" sound whenever you catch his eye..............

Join him for a fag and mention that your country home needs rethatching, but it's only going to cost 30 grand.
Guaranteed renewal - kerrrching!

Funny as hell. Just had a Lethal Weapon 2 moment.
He was still seething when he went out for fag. I wondered up coffee in hand, and as I was the only one there he carried on venting (he was a little stressed as he has a major rollout on the w/e)
Having let him vent for about 10 minutes and finishing my coffee, I said 'Sorry got to get back to it off for the weekend so need to finish up' and I pulled my badge out and put it on.
My badge is a different colour and says the word 'Contractor' in big letters on it.
He looked at me in disbelief and said 'But you're blick!' (well he said You're a contractor in truth)
He keeps looking over now and tutting.

You could of course remind him exactly how much you got paid for walking out and standing with him while he has his fag and that you know exactly how much you get for having a piss, dump and making a coffee and all are well in to the 10's if not 100's of pounds.

Well what ever his other failings are he isn't wrong on this one
Might just want to congratulate him on his correct but not complete assesment. He forgot to mention overpaid, rich and clock watching and then leave him spluttering
