Having not been paid by an advertising agency the sum of £4,700.00 from Nov, Dec & Jan, I've had to engage the services of a solicitor to arrange a winding-up petition on the said company. This has cost me £750 and if the company does end up being wound-up, I'll probably lose the whole lot. Roll the dice...

Just received this message on e-mail. Cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information.The new electronic signs on the M6 were switched on this Tuesday. The bad news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras.This probably applies to all the...

Just thought I'd mention for the few Sky+ owners here that after almost a year of broken promises, Sky have finally released the software which enables you to record two programmes simultaneously whilst watching a third [previously recorded] programme. Your box may well be able to do it already [but you won't have noticed anything except maybe the fact it was mysteriously tuned to the welcome channel when you last switched on] - this is the way software updates occur,- by stealth. Try...
