    If nothing else guy it is certainly causing a debate and raising an issue - which cannot be a bad thing?

    ms-ing by its very nature is covert and as it is on an SE basis mainly, people take their t+c's very seriously - everyone is responsible for themselves and we don't want to 'rock the boat'- I have to agree with that opinion on office - but I'm sure you meant good by your intentions (dont take it to heart).

    you see - i got into msing because its covert and because i like rocking the boat, its like as close as i will ever get to being in spooks!

    (i cannot believe they have posted a link to my myspace)

    do you not get my point - the reason i think (and i know they would argue it) we are all Self Employed is that so they do not have to worry about the minimum wage... and that sucks IMHO

    I can see what you're saying guy - but if you are SE you dont have to do a job if you don't want too and I guess it is up to the individual to discuss this with the ms comp themselves if they have an issue - its a very sensitive issue.
