Liar!Originally posted by ArdescoContractors are supposed to lie???
They only lying contractors I have come across are the ones who have no skills and are totally useless and swear that they have 5 years experiance in offcie 2007 suite.....
The rest of us are consumate professionals who don't need to lie because we know the right answer and tell it to the client straight because that is what they need to hear!

Depends how many posts i make
In all seriousness though very little. I found out a long time ago that you normally get caught out when telling lies and they invariably come back to bite you on the ass. I tend to just shut my mouth instead now.
Although I do tend to tell my son silly lies, like if you don't eat up all your dinner you won't grow, if you don't brush your teeth twice a day they will all fall out, father christmas is real, the tooth fairy is real, dragons and fairies and assorted fantasy creatures really do exist etc.Last edited by Ardesco; 1 August 2007, 13:05.
