I'm an IT manager for a large IT Services company. One of my main tasks at present is, unfortunatly, to relieve the IT contractors of their positions and place the work offshore in cheaper locations.

I help change stuff (business, not IT) - prefer to conceptualise around left/right brain rather than hands, but if you must I am pretty good with both.

As for IR35, it is b@lls; but if you you vote Labour, do you really expect a government that understands or gives a **** about business????

Charlie India Mike, good luck with exporting your own job too, as offshore managers are surprisingly competent and are probably a lot more cost effective than you. You are an overhead, not a person.

Chaps, this is Private Flying not Computer Weekly - lets avoid the IR35 debate and all the bitterness it brings with it...

I agree, especially as IR35 does not affect my business.

But on the other had there is obviously an impact on some flying clubs through the sucking away of disposable income, whihc just goes to show how we live in an interlinked society.

Just a simple property developer/manager who doesn't really understand what I.T. is or what IR 35's are.

I'm both left and right handed which makes me a handy bloke to have around

Well I believe you can get it in Wal mart (Asda?). Its really popular, but I don't know whether it will work for you

I think that there is a smiling Lassie dog on the packet

I used to play with industrial lasers all day - a wonderfully over the top method of executing insects!

My claim to fame is that all the new BMW Minis have a piece of my handiwork on them - I wrote the program that works the machine that makes all the VIN labels etc.

Now working full time to pass my ATPLs.

Since I quit my job to train as pro-pilot I can't afford to go flying nearly as often

Right handed but can do it with either.
