    Sally, how did you almost make a loss on a 500 p/d contract?
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      My first contract wasn't £500 pd - it was £250, away from home, stuck out in the sticks had to taxi everywhere, and I was sh*t with money and didn't have a clue what I was doing.

      I didn't even charge VAT - I was clueless.

            IIRC, (from a plot-line in The Wire) taking a loan from a family member to secure a home-loan is illegal in the USA.

            Not sure if there's a similar law here but I do know you have to declare where you got your deposit from as part of the money-laundering rules.

              Interesting. I thought that getting help from family was the traditional/proper way of getting a house in the UK, at least before 100% mortgages became available?

                Maybe not, but expenses high relative to income isn't a good model for making money?

                  Good for you!

                  I stayed in an £1200 per month flat in the Hacienda Spent a fortune on taxi's in and out of Birchwood every day, trains back home to Newcastle every weekend, occassional travel to other sites (all by taxi, which I never claimed back)...


                  Like I say, I was a bell end with money. But it was an excellent couple of years and led me on to much more lucrative gigs.

                    Birchwood? Isn't that near Warrington?

                      Well of course it's not - state the obvious!

                      That's why I started off saying I'd ran that first gig at pretty much a loss.

                      Did I not say that?
