Taping a conversation - is it problematic?
Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:25:22 +0100
I recently had a meeting with someone who owes me several thousand
pounds. Unbeknown to him I recorded the conversation since the person
owes me considerably more than he admits and in the course of the
conversation this person acknowledged that fact but gave no undertaking
to pay the extra amount. There is no o ...

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:25:20 +0100

Good day to you all.
I suspect the answer i might get is "you need profesional help" but I will
ask just in case somebody knows and has an answer.
My daughter is in the process of purchasing her first property and this will
clean her out of savings for the deposit, and with me and her mum funding
some as w ...

Death by Careless Driving

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8290559.stm
What strikes me about this one, apart from the usual inequity in "death
by" cases, is the comment by the policeman:
'Sgt Mal Rigby, from Hampshire police, said: "I am very pleased with
that sentence. It sends out the message if you are feeling tired or

advice please: I won a pub quiz but they won't give me the prize
Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:20:21 +0100
I?d appreciate some advice about something that happened at my local
pub. Each week it holds a quiz, which costs ¡ê1 per team to enter, and
after the main quiz they ask three questions. If a team gets all three
right, they win a sum of money, and if not, the money rolls over to
the next week, and builds up.

Landlord gave insufficient notice to terminate tenancy
Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:35:09 +0100
My tenancy agreement states 2 months mutual termination notice by both
myself and the landlord. The landlord informed me with 28 days notice
that he is selling the flat.
Does he need to compensate me for moving early, as I am probably going
to have to find something quickly, possibly more expensive than I would

eBay libel
Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:30:24 +0100
Anyone know of any cases involving eBay feedback that have actually gone
