revenge is petty !!
bunch of cunts i used to work for "made me redundant" after I complained that the HR Director had clamped my car in the company car park for "parking in a half space". Was I bitter - too right!! Revenge was very petty, but very satisfying !
(1)They had to let me keep my company car for the length of notice (6 weeks) - it went back to them stinking of fish, thanks to the numerous bits of cod and prawns I hid in the heater vents, under the carpet in the seats etc.
(2) I originally set up all their spreadsheet templates, in my period of "consultation" I put in a macro to change various values after a certain date in random cells
(3) The dozy bastards didn't realise their dotcom domain name expired, so I bought it up, and pointed it to a newspaper report of the MD being done for kerbcrawling. They want it back now, but I sold it to a mate in Vietnam, and I think they have lost the will to fight their way thru the Vietnamese legal system !!
(4) .. I just remembered more petty revenge - the aforementioned HR Director has a distinctive surname and lives in a small village. The months following my dismissal saw "him" write a lot of letters to the local rag with some fairly extreme right wing views !!

good job I can afford to throw away £2000
The cliche of travelling tradesmen offering to do jobs as they are "in teh area" is known to just about everyone right ?
NOT my wife. Fell hook line and sinker, paid cash in hand, no tel no or address.
£2000 for some roof repairs that looked liked they been done by Stevie Wonder on Ketamine.

I got trading standards involved, but a "we know where you live" phone call soon persuaded me that it wasn't worth the bother.

» Debt pron

2 bits of money advice

1. Don't owe money to self employed workers in the construction industry. They will sell your debt to some rough bastards. It is not nice to be woken up at 3am by someone with a shotgun.
2. Don't allow your wife to sort out a roof repair, especially when she says that she has found a couple of chaps who were working close by and could do the job the same day for £2000 (cash). The job they do will be shite, and you will be told that they have left the country when you phone up to complain.

» We have to talk

how topical...
just had one of those conversations. Turns out my wife has been bulimic since she was 14 - she is 38 now.
The phrase involving cans and worms seems entirely appropriate
