JD™ Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think you'd be well within your rights to be invoicing for your costs straight after the trip, and then any payment for the article itself to be invoiced prior to publish date. The publishing world sucks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It bothers me how publishing companies routinely have the people that create their content over a barrel, that is when they're not just stealing the content off the web. I've lost money in other industries with companies going bust before paying me, and given the way the print world is going I simply wouldn't work on those terms. I'd be wanting travel expenses in advance, and payment within 60 days of the publishing deadline. I understand how shit it is being freelance though, because if you turn the work down then there'll always be someone else who'll snap it up on the magazine's terms. Another classic is 'oh we can't pay you until the client pays us' etc (not so relevant here). Why do these companies have cashflow problems? Why is it always us, the small man at the end of the chain, that should pick up the slack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Could maybe do what JD suggested and see if they're happy to cover some costs earlier? If there's someone in the team there you get on well with you could try explaining your situation and that waiting 4evarz for money isn't really the one. That said, enjoy the f**k out of that trip!

AdamR28 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 What's the 29mm socket for? Hub nut? Think I got away with a 30 on mine, or 1 1/8"... (28.6mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tried a 30, no joy (It's on there tight!!) I don't have a 1 1/8. Yup, it's the hub nut. Are they lefty loose or reverse? (Tried both, with the 30mm it didn't want to move either way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Tried a chain on the sprocket on my mod'd pro 2 and it catches the lockring which means I'm gonna have to spunk £35 on a king kog to get it to work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's not, he's been eating the bits of fat ball that fall from the feeders up the garden. He never usually blows off but since he's found this delicacy he's turned our front room into Auschwitz finest chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Girl that has moved into my place, constantly moaning that she's single and all blokes just want to shag her and why is it so hard to find a decent bloke that will just treat her right. Then she sends me a text asking how I'm getting on, blah blah blah because she's gone up to her mums this weekend. Then she starts moaning on at me because I went out with a girl last night and stayed at hers. So then she starts telling me about her antics back at home. "Oh I've met this lovely guy down the pub, he's so nice". Blah blah blah. She describes him to me, straight away I'm like uhhuh...Because of CAUSE he doesn't want to pump and run. "Yeah, he's taking me out to dinner tonight. Said he's paying and everything." Then it pops up on my news feed that she's just become friends with this guy - I'm no detective, but that's the guy she's going on about, they've even got the same name. How is not HUGELY apparent just from looking at that guy that he isn't going to just want to do the deed and run. Don't get me wrong, fair play to the guy. He's going to get his leg over for £25 and a bottle of wine. But. So when she comes home (walking funny because she's been ruined by a massive black cock) and is constantly moaning about how she always gets used by these bloke I will do nothing but laugh. Literally, makes me LOL but also makes me angry that people are that stupid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm more worried about why he's sat on a school chair than him being a wapper. It's her that annoys me, not him. Bee tee double you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
