I like Easy Rider. It's cool. Prefer Bullitt though. And the original Thomas Crown Affair, oh and the original Oceans 11. 60s films are just so stylish.

Easy Rider is another of my favourite films ever.

Dennis Hopper's original was 4.5 hours long - loads of 25 minute sequences of bike rides with loads of tunes in the background. The studio edited it, & returned it to him. He watched it, screamed at them about how they'd ruined his movie & stormed out.

those signs outside people's houses that say ''No callers without appointment''. Rude and arrogant or ok if you are fed up to the back teeth of people stopping in?


(l was just quite abrupt with someone because I just HATE people you don't know calling at your house.) On the yard etc is slightly different, I accept then I am ''at work'' but when you are in the middle of painting something with oil and people think you're up for stopping, getting horrid lines because they want to know the gossip about you then its a pain the *&^%. TBH, I just am fed up with rude people asking rude questions: life, and most certainly the weekend is too short to spend talking to them!

I think these signs are just ignored by most as they're so commonplace nowadays.

No, the letter lists the debts, they are from 2009. :mad: so no excuses!



Is it fraud if your business fails - for the 3rd time - yet you still spend like money grows on trees? Or is it bad money management.

This time they are trading themselves as opposed to through a company (I guess they can't be directors any longer), so the debt is theirs. Hence why they are not revealing their address to suppliers.

They won't be allowed to be bdirectors if they're bankrupt. But they can't access credit of more than £250 if they're bankrupt!:eek:

Every post sounds worse!

Probably....what shall I do then, howl like a lunatic if someone approaches?


My pet hate is ''n turning signs''. It is a little annoying if people turn a ot in your drive BUT, I always think if someone asked me politely if they could turn I'd say ''of course'' but if they just do it I'm saved the caller not by appointment!

The Action Fraud helpline takes bucketloads of calls, of which a number are taken to prosecution. I don't know the ins and outs of what is legal, but they at least should know whether these people are dodgy (and they sound very dodgy)...
