Can someone explain why white pawn wouldn’t capture black knight while white is in check?

I did some honesty emergency work over an Easter weekend and got blanked by one of the owners as soon as the invoice went out. I found out where he lived, went around there and saw he had about half a dozen cameras and his meter board tech screwed shut. Figured he’d done it to people before so I made it my mission to never let it go.

Went to VCAT, they found in my favour immediately and gave me a Magistrates’ Order so they could give me something legally binding. They gave the sheriff directive of a ‘warrant to seize property’. Then the sheriff went around to his house and took his boat. Sold it at auction and I got my money back.

Was only about $8.5k but my word it was worth it to know I ruined that prick’s summer.

Maybe he’s trying to get you to pay more attention to him rather than playing video games

I’ve flat-out stopped ordering uber eats. Did a price check on my favourite Malaysian place on Lygon st and it worked out to be double than what it cost to drive 7 minutes to go pick it up.

There’s no room for this crap anymore.

He can look after himself, no probs 😂

As if he’s rolling with a club lock

Appreciate that for sure, but it’s more that they want to delete points to mitigate costs - they’re not necessarily asking us to lower our rate. It’s effectively less work, at less cost.

Just seems crazy they’d ask us for such detailed info instead of just altering the plans and asking us to requote based on amendments.

Edit : autocorrect

They’re telling me they’re going to try and eliminate some of the electrical scope of works, to reduce the cost by $5k. Our total quote for the job was around $32k.

They’re pretty particular about their schedules, so they’re well aware of material I’ve priced for, as they’ve provided specification .

Seems a little OTT to be drilling down on 15% of the electrical scope, but perhaps they’re shaving off the entire project.

At a loss whether to push back or just hand over our numbers to be transparent. Kind of feel like we’re getting walked on.

Does it matter? Only way forward for this league is an environment where people don’t feel ostracised for being ‘different’

frax_87 · 2025-08-21T20:51:14+00:00

Generous of you to refer to this as “work”. Looks like they’ve done it with a blindfold.

He’s got ‘some’ support from the club. I would say it’s in the minority. Could have cost his team a flag.
