Rant time!

I haven't ranted for a while but I am mightyly pissed off!
I have just gone into business with a producer friend of mine, we're building a studio and starting our own label (www.rooftoprecords.cu.uk send demos!). Its based in the projection rooms of a disused cinema that is now owned by a church and used as a community centre cum concert hall. So last week we decide to open the bank account and order our cheque books and cards and shit, everything is going well and we look set to open early next month. Then 2 days ago we get a nasty letter from  the bank to say that the half dozen cheques we've written totaling 6 grand have all bounced apart from 1 and that we have incurred a couple of hundred pounds worth of bank charges. But, we haven't written any cheques! Some fucker has stolen the 2nd cheque book and is running around Liverpool attempting to forge my signature. So now we have to wait for the cops to get the cheques from the bank and start a fruad investigation, but worst of all is that means that someone working in the building has very sticky fingers. Thanks for listening folks I feel a little better now.

What a horrible start to your new business. Nasty to think it might be somebody you've seen around who's done this. Don't let it put you off though. All the best  :)

The fraud squad have begun their investigation, we just have to sit and wait really. The worst part is not knowing if its the mailman or one of the kids who has helped us set up. I'll keep you posted.

Fingers crossed it's resolved quickly and you can get back in business.
