Sued for Damages After Contractor Ineptitude
Timesheet says "I confirm that the above hours are correct and that I am satisfied with the work completed". The client are still holding back on the cash. I am going to go at them hell for leather to get it. Thanks again for all the really constructive replies, chaps. -

Sued for Damages After Contractor Ineptitude
These answers are all pretty reassuraing and as I'd hoped, to be honest. And I know a forum is not really the place to be discussing this. I am just being a bit paranoid and trying to see if there's a loophole here whioch could bite me in the arse. Because we are a small business and not... -

Urban Myths on email
What kind of people fall for this bloody rubbish? If you're not waking up with your kidneys gone or with "Join the Aids club" on your mirror, you will be mown down by gangsters in an initiation ceremony or be told not to go to a certain place on a certain day by a dodgy muslim. Here's my latest...
