People like this should be named and shamed, and then put on a trip blacklist so that others can see if an applicant for a space has a dodgy past.

Tee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee! You said you've been stiffed. OK OK, you did mention 'on payment' as well, and quite rightly, but I just couldn't miss the opportuntity.

Alternatively join a club where you know everyone personally rather than via a computer screen. People are sometimes very different in real life than online. Apart from me. I'm still an annoying tw@t in real life.

For example Digger in real life is a monocle wearing top-hatted monogamist who speaks perfect RP english and knows not to hold his knife like a pen or say "pardon".

Being "being stiffed" does conjure up the thought of dead bodies
"being shafted" ............. mines
"being screwed" .............electric drills
errr........

You can still have problems in a club as I did when I tried "extracting" money owed for a trip to swanage. The irony was that even though the people in question owed me money they had the cheek to tell about their diving trip to the Bahamas At the end I had to get vocal about it. I got the money but it left a bad feeling, certainly on my part.

I had actually expected you to follow on with a multitude of euphemisms for having a damn good shag ...................... birds

I agree.
