Anyone who has ever even quickly looked at their range of chatrooms,
anytime in the last 5-7 years, will have immediately spotted the
majority are adult rooms, where people talk dirty to each other while
presumably playing with themselves under the table... there is also no
shortage...

The Instant Tan Scam
Our site http://217.35.86.253/ details the issues we have had with a

bought a fake tan spray booth machine for £33,000 and in 6 months of
ownership it have never worked reliably. We have therefore asked the
importer (the distributor, Malibu tanning solutions, we bought it from

Recovery of costs towards office renovation under office lease by
John
We are a company that is renting office space on a five year lease.
Just one year into the lease we were sent a letter from the property
management agents informing us that we had to pay our proportion of
remedial/renovation works to the interior/exterior of the building. This
amounted to £25k in three installments over 9 months, at the end of the 9
months (March 2003) the work would commence....

Company Director Disqualification by
Gary19w1
Hi
Is it true that a disqualification as a company director is not meant as a
punishment but rather a precaution to protect the public?
How easy is it, if you have sorted yourself out and can show that you have
