            Already filled in my Resolver case for the cancelled / delayed flight (I think its €400 so worth complaining about) and remembered to do a previous one for a similar screw up earlier this year...
            Now in taxi on way home. Just a time sheet to sign, invoice to send and then that's it for the week.

            Blackpool tomorrow for the court case regarding that incident back in September
            merely at clientco for the entertainment

              Home, and weekend!

              Quite a pleasant evening too, if you like that kind of thing

He didn't get too far into that, seemed pretty narked when I asked him to call me back when he had an actual contract.

                Perhaps I'm just dealing with a better class of pimp these days but the fishing seems to have eased off a bit lately.
                My phone rang this afternoon. I didn't recognise the number so I let it go to voicemail while I Googled the number. Second result (after a whocalledme site) was a TEKSystems pimp. Maybe it was the same one and he's just working his way through TPD?

                    The shop has been visited, and beer obtained

                    Now trying to decide what to have for dinner. I'm not that hungry, as usual in hot weather, so nothing too lavish

                      Had a text message earlier from a UK number I didn't recognise. It contained a google voice verification code. Two minutes later my phone rings with a number from Washington DC. I don't answer the call, but google it. It's the phone number google call you from when they want to hear the verification code so they can link a number to your mobile. Turns out that this is a popular scam among Craigslist and ebay scammers who quote a google phone number as the one to contact if anything goes wrong with the order. They take the money for a sale, don't deliver the goods, the buyer then phones the number and it redirects to your mobile.
                      So I reported the number to O2 as a spam number. 4 hours later I get two more texts, quoting the same google verification code, but from two different UK mobiles. Reported them too. Grrr.
