Jesus,
why do all these rich people have crashes in helicopters ?
Lesson for us all, if we ever become rich don't get delusions of having a helicopter and becoming a pilot, every year we hear of rich people crashing their helicopters.

Nope - that isn't what I said. Being poor tends to exclude you from the owning a helicopter brigade. As such, any crash would tend to involve rich helicopter owners and their mates - their mates could be poor though.
It's the same with expensive sports cars - you tend to find rich people driving these also, unless it has been nicked.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
