      It was a metaphor, reading between the lines the more intelligent members of the forum will have already realised that trying to talk to you is like trying to educate pork.

        Cool, then repeat after me, "Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate, Day rate..."

        Keep invoicing until it's canned or brought under control.

        If your conscience pricks you sufficiently, go to confession but above all, head down, invoice.

        Oh, and stop helping the numpties, you are only fuelling the fire and staving off the inevitable.

            Roger that Tractor. All of that is in place. I didn't start this thread for advice on the topic as I feel I have everything under control and I'm just waiting for the balloon to go up. Rather I was after some anecdotes from other posters of projects they have worked on with oxygen thieves and the fallout that ensued.

              I gave you some advice.

              You're f*cked, your head is above the parapet and you're becoming the unwitting author of your own demise.

                I didn't start the thread to get advice

                So, now that you have crapped all over my thread would you mind explaining yourself?

                Shall we start with :

                What the **** is an ACM?
                Why am I ****ed?
                How did I become the author of my demise?

                In that order. Take your time now, wipe the rabid foam from your chin and then start answering them.

                  I don't spend my time helping the dead wood in a project, sink or swim.

                    Great, so you've got some anecdotes to share about dead wood getting tulip canned?
