A trireme

The Trireme is awarded for what one freelance called the "worst terms since I was last chained to the oars".

This issue’s nomination goes to the Times, paying £250 per 1000 words for an obituary. It is true that you'll get less elsewhere. But to offer less than other sections of the same paper pay, at what will sometimes be a time of personal distress and unwillingness to negotiate.
