1. Was told role is NOT SC - turns out it is, would have bunged an extra £50 a day on for that.
2. Three monther, turned out it was a six-seeker cos clientco only procures in six week lumps. This is second lump.

Rate ok, not my best, keeps the war chest topped up, but there's nowt worse than a boring contract with not much to do....

Erm, yeay you!

Sounds like a good deal to me (the gig, not the the free pr0n but I reserve the right to check that out later) - nice extension so you know you are sorted for another six weeks, chance to bail with 5 days notice if something interesting comes up. Sounds like a winner to me - nice one
