I've done the desk job thing and I didn't particularly like it - it isn't nearly challenging enough and I like being active.

I'm not sure where the sarcastic sentence regarding success comes from, you seem to imply my past is riddled with failure, which it is not? I'm living more than comfortably right now and have done for the last 6 years, I just want to try something different.

One thing, don't go spending all your money at once. You were struggling for work not long ago iirc, yet now you are more comfortable than in the last 6 years.
Desk job not challenging enough? work harder, improve your work etc. If it was that easy and you were that good then you wouldnt have been struggling to find a job.

Wait, he's buying a van? I thought he was buying a Subaru Impreza WRX STI type RA? I struggle to keep up with the yarns sometimes :(

I actually looked at an STi the day before I got my clio, but admiral refused to insure me, despite the fact they'll give me a quote as a new customer.

Best of luck to you Mike. You're likely to need it.

I am struggling to fathom how a web host took £8k of your money though.

He never actually owned the assets in the first place, is the only feasible answer I can think of. Further wild conjecture: I guess it was network hardware or something that he was leasing from the web hosts and got confused when they pointed out that leasing did not mean owning.

Or, he'd paid the web hosts for the assets but the web hosters hadn't actually received them from their suppliers yet. Consequently when the hosts went under, Mike had to join the long list of 5p in a pound creditors.

Or maybe it was a cash asset for prepaid website hosting.

Or as I already explained, my own equipment was liquidated as theirs when they went bust. It isn't that hard to comprehend, I'm not sure how you're having so much trouble with it.

Did you not have an agreement that states the hardware is yours? Take my hardware in Rackspace for example or previous co-locations for that matter. Every single co-location I have ever done has agreements that prevent exactly this kind of thing. The hardware is not an asset of the provider of the co-location and therefore they can't liquidate what is not theirs.

Unless of course you were renting server space, in which case they do what they want! Who was the host btw?
