Apology received.
With a confirmation that English punctuation is different.
I would argue that English punctuation is not different, European punctuation is different, but I can't be a*sed

If its Bare, I once had a report returned to me a couple of weeks after I had done it, as the client had requested some additional information. I was quite amazed when I read the report because all my comments had been completely changed. It did not read the way an English person would write, instead it read as though it had been badly translated from German! :rotfl:

I was quite cross as I only got a 6 for this report. After reading it I could see that the proof reader had spent ages changing it so I guess this is why! :rotfl:

Shouldnt really be marking you down for the translation not working in german.

It isn't for half a day, its for 2x 3.5 hour shifts on each day Friday and Saturday. I would do it but I have both days already booked up! :j

Thought it said 7 hours, only half read it as I'm at work. Think I'd be able to just do the saturday? Can't do fridays which is unfortunate.

Seems oK to me. I sent the email anyway.
It's PAYE though so expect a chunk off of the fee up front.

I had that email - couldn't work out if the fee was for a half day or a whole day as it said something about two 3.5 hour sessions. Looking at it again am pretty sure the fee is for 7 hours ie two sessions per day.

whitelabel

yup daily rate for the 2 shifts, so thats not inc travel time to them
its paye, but you could still claim mileage on your tax return as not a usual place of work, but theyll take NI and tax out of that rate

not enough for me though im afraid for what they want.

Actually I'm about ready to kick off at anything or anyone today.
Thats what an afternoon a Sunday at the Trafford centre does to me.
I feel like cr*p today and have been frantically ringing round rescheduling my jobs for later in the week.
Oh well at least I can sit and watch Arsenal stuff Leeds tonight on free ESPN.
boo hoo poor me...

Right then Trevor.. couple of things. If you are an Arsenal fan you are officially my new bezzie mate on the forum. Also free ESPN? enlighten me...

Somehow said yes to free preview screening of Coriolanus tonight with better half.

Actually giving it thought I reckon your probably a Utd fan and just really hate leeds.

Virgin media subscribers who don't have ESPN anyway in their package get it free on trial from yesterday till third of Feb.

I am NOT NOT NOT a UTD fan. I live in Manchester now but am a Londoner and always been an Arsenal fan (and Leyton Orient BTW since I was born just near their ground).

Of course I hate Leeds

Nice to have a new best mate xxx
