I made a post to you last week with a question and you never answered.
You have the XC90 don't you, is it the diesel with the auto box ?
I am thinking/dreaming (delete as applicable) to get one later this year - on the condition I've been in work all year
How do you find it, are they reliable or in the garage regularly with costly problems
If you had the choice of a 2 year old xc90 diesel auto or a 2 year old toureg diesel auto which would you get and why
Thanks,
Milan.
Anyway, no, I drive a Subaru Forester at the mo. Looked at the XC90 but apart from 7 seats, it didn't do anything the Forester doesn't (for my needs anyway), is a hell of a lot slower for about 3mpg saving and costs £13k more.
That said, it was a good car, and the Diesel/Manual combo was the one to go for. Since then there's a new diesel engine with an auto that works, so it might be worth another look. The car itself was excellent and as comfortable as any Volvo.

No, Dilemma is the right term - just spelt incorectly.
If the guy is on holiday/paternity leave/very busy atm then the old Jabber Spider Sense starts tingling in a similar way to sticking your todger in a plug socket.

I always charge travelling and overnight expenses when not at my normal site. So should you. If it's not in your contract then brush up on your negotiation skills. (or have I misunderstood your statement?)
I will be at their site which will mean staying away during the week - they are paying hotel costs / food / mileage for the full duration of the contract

If the person at the client is on holiday, then that suggests they're either just very unprofessional, or not that serious about you. Either way I'd assume that deal was dead.

Dilemma
Ok - Dilemma was the wrong term. I know what I should do. Just never been offered (or nearly offered) a contract with full expenses.

Shouldn't it be gay butt-slammer as otherwise it's rather ambiguous?

FFS it's dilemma, die fu*king lemma. Never post spelling mistakes on here - you can express religious hatred, be a socialist or even a gay butt slammer, but never, ever spell incorectly.

Here is a thousand pounds. Here might be 1500 pounds in three weeks time if you;re lucky and if nobody changes their mind or if somebody doesn't offer to do it for £1200 or...
And the answer is...?
