Better make sure that's a Wetherspoons you go to.
I can't really go out with a bang as I need the redundancy money but I might be too ill to serve my notice.

Got a meeting with the boss tomorrow about changing me from long term, self employed freelancer to just a permanent member of staff. Pros include holiday and sick pay, pay for me to go on trips, more likely to go on shoots, a bit more job security etc. Drawbacks are most likely less money, and less breadth for tax wankery, plus less flexibility to work elsewhere etc.
I need to go to him with a figure for what I expect for a salary tomorrow. Hard to know how to pitch it.

I've know you for years and not actually known what you do. You're like Chandler from friends.
Sounds like you might be joining Tash at the top of the most thread posts leaderboard in the not so distant future.

I know a lot of contractors that have gone through this. They always want a high number so their take home pay is the same.
My only advice is don't do that...none of em winded up with a job and contracts weren't renewed.

Explain how being born eight years prior would be at all different?

Sorry to hear the bad news, Incontentia. Look sharp and you'll land on your feet
Would help if you knew a ballpark for what your peers make. And I agree with Darren. You should aim for a reasonable amount along with the long-term feasibility of promotion versus trying to secure a high number from the get go.

I think growing up in the 90s would've been awesome.
It was the same as every other decade just with less internet

I can vouch for this. The start of Pokemon and the PS1 were pretty awesome though.
I'm glad I didn't experience the 80s in Britain though. Grim shit.

Assuming I still had the same aspirations... Being a musician in that time was a very different thing
I mean seriously, the movements then...ahh even earlier back.. I know you still had shit music getting through.. but that whole grunge movement back then...ahh i wouldve killed for it
I'd go into more detail..but it's take me fucking AGES...and especially as im drunk....i cant really articulate my thoughts clearly

For sure I'll need to take a direct pay cut, no doubt about that. I'm thinking I'll work out how much he pays me now, Work out how much I would get If he spent the same on me permanent (ie taking into account holiday pay, national insurance etc) then pitch just under that. I imagine that's what he'll be doing in his head.
Nah, they didn't have as much internet. Arctic Monkeys wouldn't have happened in the 90s, sorry if you're too young to remember that

Really? More than like 1% of musicians made it? (assuming that's what you mean?)
Come on, give us drunk ramblings.
In other news I'm feeling the burn from weights last night. There was an Asian student on the treadmill with an Ipad Mini......

It's also always easier to look on the past with rose-tinted glasses while ignoring that there was a lot of shit back then the same as there is now. Being born in 1990 is no special privilege, it just is what it is. Appreciate the good things you have now.
Like the fact that you will likely never want to tear your hair out while waiting for a single page to load on dial-up.
EDIT:
Whoa there. I'm going to chalk that up to the cheap cider.

It's funny you should say that, because apparently you needed fuck all experience back thenJob hunt is getting me down
would have rather lived during the Thatcher years
My father was able to work as a book keeper, in a bank and in a mental asylum... All with shit fucking O levels and no experience, I would get none of these jobs without the corresponding qualification.
Not to mention the fact most places wont even take me to the interview stage to be a FUCKING CLEANER
My dad had the DvD, i never watched it though...I cant really be bothered right now though..drinking
