I get on well with 19 out of 20 clients. Theres always the odd, erm... oddball.

Years ago: We built a website for a chap whose "convicted kidnapper" friend failed to stump up a 4 figure sum of money he owed us. And after my crazy client turned crazy on us, fulfilled our roles professionally and morally and parted on VERY bad terms.

Repeat the above scenario a year later, this time parting (after fulfilling our obligations) on VERY bad terms. His final words being (Im gonna come down and F*** you up, growl snarl, gonna F*** you up, you dont know what youve got coming, etc etc) Hung up, and :byebye:

Then life was quiet for a year, till he called again, asking for yet another half price deal, pleading poverty etc... Maybe I said, thinking carefully (its wise to be careful where one invests ones energies) and he offers me a favour in return.

What favour says I (im a businessman at the end of the day, own a web design company and serve normal people, nice clients)

Well, he offers... if anyone wants to F*** you up, I'll be there in a flash, you know I will, to F*** them up for you. I'll F*** anyone up if you ever need me. I was even shot at last week, but I was wearing body armour..."

Where the hell do these people come from? Helooooo? And what makes them think other 'normal' ;) businessmen like myself would barter not in money, but "beating people up" credits :rolleyes:

Takes all sorts to make a world I spose :)

It sounds like he should be reported to the police.

Sounds like someone has been watching too many Brit gangster movies perhaps? Lock Stock and Two Smoking Brain Cells anyone?

He's a professional surveillance ops and investigations chappie, its none of my business, and whilst he may be telling the truth, I even if it were a concern Id still leave him to do his own thing.

Imagine if he called up the local bookstore... I need 50 books. How much? OK, well give half of them to me for free, and I'll owe you a favour, if you ever need someone to F*** someone up, then I'll F*** them up for you

Library: Ohhh, what a fantastic offer, we've been waiting for a real corker of an offer like this one
