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

    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 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.

    Capsaicin has no effect until rubbed onto sensitive tissues. So, you'll have the pleasure of wathing them emerge from the toilets, doing a strange dance, with a pained expression on the face.

    Buy a bottle of capsaicin (the active ingredient of chillis) and paint it on the doorknobs in their offices.

    A day? An hour of my time should be worth that in my view. We live in an unjust world that does not properly recognise my worth.
