Inside or outside IR35?

Inside or outside IR35?

Outside. Pretty good rate too. The only issue is that they may only do 3 months rather than the 6 they need to see us through to the end of the project. Apparently it's company policy to make extensions only 3 months even if they end up having to extend again. The PM is trying to tie down all the contractors until the end though.

I've also had a couple of calls this week about other projects elsewhere for the same rate and for 6 months.

We had walk out around seawall, Stambridge Mill, Rankins Cricket, and onto THE ROYAL OAK.
Just walked up and in at 6.30 PM, 4 person and dog, no problem.
Good beer, no fuss, good food, good service, fair price AND all very 2019!

Pub was reasonably busy when we arrived and almost empty when we left around 8.30.

I recommend it to you all.

I used to always like playing at Rankins decent people and a lively bar.

Took Mrs RHB to Le Talbooth restaurant at Dedham today for lunch to say thank you to her for her scheming and planning for my birthday last week. Now totally skint but it was, as always, a fabulous meal with brilliant service and the A12 was a good boy there and back. Very happy RHB. Just need a win tomorrow night now to start the week well.

Did that twice around 20 years ago A lovely few hrs out, with the bonus of nigh on no chance of being hit by a motorist!

Just registered in the draw for Espanyol's first game of the season (against Villarreal on 21/08/)With a 40,000 capacity and a 30% attendance limit I make that 12,00 places.Since there are apparently 28,000 season card holders might be a bit of a tight squeeze,

Korean fried chicken, if I got it right and I think I did, it's bloody fantastic. One of the best things I have ever cooked.

 

[RHB]

We've just finished off a superb couple of rib-eye steaks with a Greek salad and fresh ripe strawberries as close followers.

Got my second dose of the vaccine today, so just need to wait 2 weeks and then I can come back to the UK without having to quarantine for 10 days for the first time since January 2020.
