Aha - now there's a name I recognise ...... 

.... and keep your mitts off me chips!   Twice you've knocked me out of the Open    (your name's in my little black book of revenge  )

Happy Birthday Liam.

Always be true to yourself and others - the rest will come naturally.

You've made your dad proud and likewise I'm sure you have a dad to be proud of.

I know neither of you but I feel my heart swell for you both.

just bowl up to her and say:"listen love, we got sky sports so i'm gonna be watching some serious football and i dont want to hear no shit about it either, let me tell you how this things gonna work, kick off: you bring me a beer, half time:beer me, the other team score: you better be bringing me a beer, if my team loses and you havnt already got naked you might as well pack your bags ande leave, ive been explaining this for 2 minutes now and i'm starving so get going on the dinner"

she'll kick up a fuss about it if you let her, women just prefer to be told what to do!

Lol, just loving this ... works in theory he he

Well, I'd be pissed if we didn't have sky sports, not for the footie (hmmmmmmm can't see the appeal  ) BUT if I missed the cricket  - grrrrrrrrr

Bonjour

 

ummmm what is it?

Looks devine where you stayed though.  I NEED a holiday, not had one for 4 years (and even then it was only a week in Spain lol).  Nowt wrong with Spain mind, it's just not Vegas or Mexico is it lol

Go Rookie, Go Rookie, Go Rookie

 

This vaguely rings a bell.

The only one that really sticks in my mind is where two guys dress up as women to get on a women only cruise (again with typical trashy soundtrack).  Pleasure boat or something 

I can see this is going to be my favourite thread for the next couple of days.

Loving your style of writing and keep the pics coming :-)


Sigh - could have been there tonight ...

is it ...

ColchKev?

[People don't appreciate]

People don't appreciate free.  Anything you give that isn't charged is soon forgotten, or questioned when it's not to their liking.  Better to charge for absolutely everything, that way both parties know exactly what they're getting - and the one who's paying won't appreciate you any less.

Sigh, sometimes it feels like some peeps don't appreciate full stop.

Yes, you are both right, I will charge for everything from now on.  Not with this company though - will not be dealing with them again.

Lessons learned and all that lol.

AARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Pissed off with penny pinching materalistic bastard companies

Submitted 3 invoices today to a company that I freelance for - all 3 totalled a really pissy small amount for print design work.  Most London companies charge on average £75ph plus VAT, this company get a reduced rate from me of only £25ph and even then I do loads of shitty little bits and pieces for them (like re-supply artwork that they have lost AND do their copy writing which alone would cost them a fortune from a PR company) for free, I don't charge them - other repro houses would charge if they constantly had to do that as at the end of the day you do have to stop what you are doing, gather all artwork into a folder (fonts, live docs, images etc) and stuff the lot again and re-send (minimum 15mins).

This particular company query my invoices every month. Every month I have to talk through each piece of work item by item and explain why it took half an hour, or 2 hours etc - this alone takes another hour (that's another 25 quid I 'could' time for).

Ihave just told them to shove it up their arse - it's really not worth the hassle any more.

This company have taken to court the last 3 employees who left (they lost all 3 cases). I'm not worried about that as we do not have a written contract - however, chances are they will try to refuse to pay the invoices I have submitted today ........ he he I HAVE THEIR MAC HERE.  They asked me to hold onto it at my house as they were re-arranging their office and they had no where to put it.   I am now planning on holding the mac to ransom until my invoices are paid!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Why do some people throw a good thing away (both personally and professionally)


Would love to be there when they get their first invoice from a repro house!!!   Justice


Ignore this completely, just needed to rant before I made my next scrabble move hahahahahahahahaahahah

[Up for a game with anyone btw - challenge away.]

I'm up for a game Acid. I would challenge you but I don't know your real name

Up for a game with anyone btw - challenge away.

Oh it will probably be a slow game though, I'm at work.

What's your name on facebook. Can't find you to start a game

Cheers

And after the falcon, here's a crane. What a cracking beauty, as sexy as they come eh? Go on, admit it - you would if you could.

Aha, we finally meet the future Mrs Kendal 

Today was a good day, sun shining, music loud in car, you know the kind of day lol

Put old mix CD in and kept repeating Sonique's Feel's So Good - not so much for the tune but the lyrics - don't ask, that kinda day lol
