    MD storms into the office... "What going on David? Why aren't you paying people? I'm getting complaints about nonpayment!" I look up, puzzled, and ask "What do you mean Pat?" "[Company] is complaining that they haven't been paid" clickity clickity click... "They were paid 10 days ago" say I. "They say there is an invoice for Cardington Site still outstanding" he says. "But that is not my responsibility, that one is paid directly from [A different company in the group], and if Greg (the Finance Director), hasn't paid it there must be a reason, either way it is nothing to do with me" I retort. What about [A different service provider] they haven't been paid either!" he continues. "Ah", I say, with smugness, "I can't pay what I haven't got, but I know the invoice is sitting on your desk waiting for you to sign it off and has been for over a week!". He brings me that invoice, duly signed off, and says, "Pay that quickly my good man". I reach for the cheque book and smile as he wanders off...

        Dalek Dave: There are many words that some find offensive, Homosexuality, Alcoholism, Religion, Visual Basic, Manchester United, Butter. Pete o'Hanlon: If it wasn't insulting tools, I'd say you were dumber than a bag of spanners.
