Gunn ,'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yeah, I don't know how it is in Egypt, but in the US it is my understanding that if both sides of a contract spend the better part of a year fulfilling that contract, it's enforceable even if not signed.
(eta: your plan sounds absolutely and totally right, Fay. What on earth did he think you would do?)
Don't make any assumptions about Egyptian law based upon US law.
....I can't begin to emphasise that strongly enough. Heh. Man. Really. Which isn't to say that the contract isn't enforceable - but that's why I'm going to consult Egyptian lawyers.
(Actually, for a contract to be legal here it has to be in Arabic. Which my contract? Very much not in Arabic. So I'm guessing he'd be looking at UK law rather than Egyptian. Good luck to him.)
I almost didn't say anything because I figured it didn't really apply, but I gotta spout of some of the knowledge in my head sometimes, appropriate or not.
It's going to be fun.
I can see the ad campaign for this movie.
"Coming to Cairo in the Summer of '05: The Wrath of Fay! You don't want to see her idea of fun." ::flashcut of Fay's eyes narrowing with highly compressed sound effect of shrieking metal flying by like shrapnel::
"In world news today, a small, blonde English woman was caught screaming obscenities at the Sphynx. Something along the lines of "Riddle me this muthafucka! Riddle me the fuck this!!" was heard for a 2 mile radius. "
Oh man, Fay. That's incredible. I hope it all sorts out reasonably for you.

This should *so* go in our FAQ.
Oh, Fay! Good grief! I hope this is the end of it for you, but I suspect that it's not...
Can I share some good news?
I have job interview at 11am tomorrow. Squeeeeeeeeeee!
"In world news today, a small, blonde English woman was caught screaming obscenities at the Sphynx. Something along the lines of "Riddle me this muthafucka! Riddle me the fuck this!!" were heard for a 2 mile radius. "
"To which observers said, 'She must have been dealing with Egyptian law.'"
I really want to hear you say "He can suck my fucking dick," Fay.
Also, how inutterably stupid! I mean... not having a contractual obligation would cut both ways. How can he not see that? Oh, right, he's expecting you to roll over. Hah!
Hey All.
{{{Gud}}}
Yay vw for easy-final! Good luck in the job sitch.
Go Fay! (Amazing the ridiculousness, but I have every confidence you are up to the challenge represented by the presence of this moron).
ION, are there any Ministers of Kill the Stupid People around? 'Cause I need to call down some SERIOUSLY RIGHTEOUS WRATH on the entire Dell Computer "Customer Care" (my ass!) Department!
