    Apart from main client co, I do some other business on the side. Just last week I did some Oracle with out followed by a mobile phone customer wanting CIM. The extra money came in handy particularly as a colleague wanted some creampie after HR was involved with the watersports.

    Oh and I noticed that you posted the above and immediately logged off and ran for it...
