    you could always dip the bog roll into the afore mentioned liquid, let it dry then put it back! - ring sting is a nasty way of getting them back

      It may be a blessing in disguise, do consider: here you have proof that you're a real business with which to slap down over-eager tax inspectors. How much is that worth to you?

        That did occur threaded. Unfortunately, the loss of money for bits and pieces was the lesser problem. In about 2 years time I expected to get a big well paid (for technical that is) chunk of work for an upgrade. C#.net too probably. Possibly that may yet be rescued as I think it was quite profitable.

        As for the rest of you, rambling on about self igniting farts, NO sympathy for my dire financial set back at all! Huh!

          I have sympathy for all married men...we're all in the same financial boat. Its hard to see my hard earned money being spent on a pair of bling shoes that will never be worn. To see them three years later sell on ebay for £5 is like a dagger through the pants pocket.

          Putting in a claim with the insolvency admin. is worth it. You may get 50p back!

            That was in another dimension and didn't count

              Nothing if they put on their official blinkers and deny that having lost money proves a risk of losing money.
