      WHS

      Keep calm and carry on invoicing. If you're a half decent contractor you earn twice as much as they do or more. This bloke is his employer's problem, not yours. If someone is stupid enough to hire him and pay him then you can't help them. I know it's easier said than done, because you have a conscience, but you'll have to toughen up.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        Anyone who uses the word "banter" deserves all they get.

          Morning tinsel84. Sorry, when I approved your post last night I should have seen it was in General and not in the professional forums. The clue is in the forum summary:

          All hope abandon ye who enter here. Seriously.
          There is sense in the answers if you take the time to read the posts.

            Have you posted your issues on Mumsnet yet?

            You might be happier there...

                You're right. What he should have done is post a question, then hour by hour add extra bits of detail not mentioned in the OP.

                  I think the correct response is "Laugh this off... " and then kick him in the nuts. While he's writhing on the floor comment "ohhh, we can't joke about being kicked in the nuts any more".

                      No, I think that's quite a good answer. He might not find it all so amusing.
