Didn't I send you my invoice yet?
How remiss of me - I'll get it out to you ASAP.

and many.
I barely have the time to fart these days, with family and job, and all. If I had to make a living from self employment or contract work, I don't know how I would have the time to frequent the forums on a regular basis.

Typically there is enough work around for clients that I want to deal with that I don't have to worry about working for clients that I don't want to deal with. But, it goes without saying that I don't want to sell to customers that I don't want to deal with lol. So, if I set a price for them *and they accept it*, I didn't set my rate high enough and that's a miscalculation on my part. The point of my price for them is to price myself out of the market, but when I talk about my "market rate" I mean the rate that clears the market; not an asking price that gets rejected.
I typically land contracts that fully allocate me to a single client at a time, so when I say "THE rate" it comes down to my market rate at the time that I negotiated 'my current' deal. I've never had to lower it, but that's not saying that I never will. ...but this "economic downturn" has been very busy and a very profitable one.

Yes, same here.
BTW, True story: A friend of mine had a computer store years ago and there was one customer who always came in and hassled him. My friend just smiled and whenever the customer bought something, he added a one liner to the invoice/receipt: "Pita charge 15%."
One day the customer finally asked what the "Pita charge" was for. After the acronym was explained, my friend's competitors never forgave him.

Ok, Rolf the predator...yes...I can sort of see that.
But...Cliff Richard?[^] 
He has made "no comment" as yet, and he isn't in the country.
I didn't expect that!

Was it you who posted about shady going ons in cars at the back of theatres once?
If so can you recap, it's even more interesting now.

Don't think so.
The David Icke forums are good places to get information about this sort of thing.
He may be crazy, as are many of those who post on there, but they are willing to host people that most forums wont so if you can wade through the crazy there is an awful lot of interesting stuff that has found a home there, or links to other stuff on the internet.
There was quite a bit of specific stuff about Cliff on there a few months ago IIRC.

From my original message:
A friend of mine recently retired as a Police Inspector in Merseyside Police. He has told me that his old sergeant when he enlisted had caught the "highly christian singer" orally pleasuring a well known, bearded British actor (who famously played a grumpy surgeon in a series of 60's comedy films and was also the manager of the UK Ice Hockey team at one time) in the back of a Rolls Royce behind the Empire Theatre in Liverpool

Yeah, the big fat one. Dear oh dear, what an image!

But Cliff?, Umm what?

I know what you mean. I know I never liked his music (saccharine drivel for the most part) or his holier-than-thou attitude, but I never suspected him of fiddling with young boys. 
But...to get and execute a search warrant on an allegation 30 years ago they have got to have something. You don't go on a court sanctioned "fishing trip" on someone that rich and "clean-cut".

Look, he has got a pair of nuts, if he ain't shagging birds, he's shagging something else...

Okay let us search his property twenty some years after the alleged incident.

I get the impression that stepping into Cliff Richards house would be like stepping 20 years back in time
