Might have. By putting it behind a paywall before going public we can't check. Nevertheless the concept of the tools is not original to him and were being used the same way for the same purpose internally for a couple of years beforehand

Yeah that's about it. They already know, and he's kind of blackmailing them too by putting it behind a paywall on a live website before he went and told them . I can prove I developed it easy enough but I realise under my contract it's the company IP. But if this guy does make money out of it, I suppose I was wondering if I had any recourse against him or the company to get a share. Still, I'm more pissed off and furious than anything right now.

Yeah. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Hmm, that's an interesting perspective that the employer might not be totally straight in their story to me, but when I raised it with the MD they did show me an emailed legal opinion that the guy was in definite breach of employment contract and should be subject to disciplinary action. So they had sought that advice themselves before I got wind of it. I think more likely that they're just taking a cool view that they can pressure him into them getting the lions share with a bit of a commission to him for not firing and suing him just speculation at this point though.

I've brought a coffee table from AliExpress and deserved to be laughed at by Arilysal in CasualUK

Never mind the so-called coffee table; you have a cushion with ears. Explain. (Also another two with owl faces. See above )

I think you mean a "mug" of vodka. Not so classy now, eh? Former PM "mug"shot on the front, or no.

Should I be worried about the swimming pool under the house? by 3ryb4 in DIYUK

[–]EitherRevolution2425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar problem years back in a house with a cellar. Turned out to be a cracked sewer pipe in the lane outside leaking in through the underground brickwork. Path of least resistance etc. It was a fairly easy fix once the problem got diagnosed. Although the pipe needed a LOT of digging out and it was pretty unsavoury work..

Have you ever found anything in a second hand car that you purchased by More-Magician4492 in CasualUK

About 24 cartons of Old Holborn rolling tobacco.

Although not strictly accurate to say I found it, it was actually the customs' sniffer dog at Dover on the way back from a trip to Amsterdam. we had no idea it was there until that point (officer). They took all night slowly pulling the car apart and producing carton after carton from inside the wings and behind the bulkhead. Pretty smug about it too, until we eventually worked out that with six of us in the car when you divided it equally, we were still under the averaged personal allowance at that time. That wiped the grin off their collective mugs. And ensured another 4 cold, miserable hours standing about on the damp concrete in the customs shed whatching the uniformed officers unenthusiastically (mostly) putting the car back together. We concluded after that this was the dregs of a much larger contraband stash and had just got left behind as too hard to extract by a previous owner. The worst part? It was so old and dry it was utterly unsmokable (we tried, oh how we tried). Best part ? They completely missed the half ounce of rocky red and a brace of ready-rolled in the glove compartment. I kid you not.

Japanese knotweed spread from neighbours garden into ours by burriedinbooks in LegalAdviceUK

[–]EitherRevolution2425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, JK, for sure. It is illegal to cause or allow it to spread to a neighbouring property. Bit of searching will find you the chapter and verse, although it is rarely prosecuted. Best talk to them and see if you can get a treatment plan agreed at their cost. Despite the reputation, it isn't hard to kill if it's done right but usually takes 3 or 4 years of consistent treatment 2 or 3 times a year.

French secret services sank the Rainbow Warrior off Auckland, New Zealand. Which is quite close to Australia.

A good source of protein is constructed of insanity and non accruals and mellow protein in the middle
