    Good grief LB - so it wasn't staring a Derren Brown's stunning new yahoo winning website that did it - it was Life On Mars...

    Great program - love the sweeney vs modern police practice humorous trade-offs.

    I reckon all the young contractors go permie, until a few years under the kosh turns them into cynical old b@stard contractors and they've paid their dues and can re-enter the market with the right sort of attitude ...
