    Unprofessional contractors

    The worse thing that has been done to me by a contractor was when the two of us took a couple of hookers to a hotel in London after a day on the piss. The bastard did a runner leaving me to pay the pimp for the two of them.

    As I keep telling my agent Dodgy, when the agent pays, effectively the contractor has paid as the agents money is a sub set of the contractors money.
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

      that is what he said. But the same contract also says that I get 20% of everything he gets, only my contract should have said that my 20% comes first

            It's a common problem. According to Pele there's some good medicine available.

                  In fairness he was doing exactly as the contract stated... He was going, leaving you with 20% of his hooker's time... Afterall, you get 20% of everything he gets.

                    I just dont want my 20% after he has already had his 80%. Anyway at his renewal the necessary adjustments were accordingly made to the contract. Once I had agreed not to show his girlfriend of the time the pictures, he in turn signed:

                    1. That I would get my 20% first, and that
                    2. If I wanted to exercise my option to take my 20% it would be contingent upon me being able to "get one up"

                    Of course the client had to sign a "mirrored" version of the new contract which took a bit of explaining. But hey I am not known as "Dodgyagent" for nothing.

                    Anyway once word got round that part of DAs terms of business included sessions with ladies of the night DA incorporated has become a preffered agency to many a contractor.

                    For all you girls out there, I am introducing a threesomes night before Christmas.
