      Is there any problem getting them to invoice you directly? After all aren't umbrella's supposed to make things easier.

        We certainly are here to make things easier but I'm afraid I do draw the line at financing luxury business trips

            The downside is the courtesy car service is run by a pisshead in a very ropey old merc.

              I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
