  1. Past hour
  2. Work up front, so to speak.
  3. We're back to trust. Most of my new clients for the disco are happy to pay a deposit after signing a contract, but prefer to pay the balance in cash on the night, when they can see the whites of my eyes. Regular clients are allowed far more relaxed terms. Trust. When someone pees in the water supply ( such as the last minute christening passed on to me who stiffed me for £200 and the venue for £400 ) you tend to mistrust all customers for a while after.
  4. He says he was approached and about to be attacked - defending himself... but... skipping the country doesn't do him much credit. In the underground station - crawling with CCTV to clear his name. [Suspect that he has a hot line to a lawyer - his line of work sees him close to the legal limit very often - and has been interviewed by police enough to know the system, not be fazed by it, able to put a rational reason forward.. yet still runs away]
  5. Today
  6. Was only 210 per arctic load
  7. Sounds about right ,it would be Thames valley power group . Clowns on the phone ... good thing to look at a map before you send an artic my way
  8. That's a few years ago and that's if it didnt get rejected
  9. Bound to be, the place has been closed and demolished apart from a gas fired turbine. One of the local farmers tried to get them to take woodchip from his short rotation willow planting, the railway from Bristol that delivered the coal ran through his farm, but they wouldn't entertain it. It grew rank and he had to give it away, must have been 20 years ago.
  10. Yaxley-Lennon skipped the country to avoid arrest for injuring someone!
  11. Depends , what services was it ? When I worked for kier who I don't know from anywhere i asked for money up front.. I also turned down a 50k job with them also because it would have been such a **************** about and could have made me go bankrupt ....so yeah I'm at that point where I'm not bothered about work I've either got my t&c s or il do another job that I know will pay. That's it really , and don't care 😂
  12. Mate of mine is thinking of buying this box to live in, and he's asked me to do the conversion. Am I right in thinking I could cut through the bulkhead into the box to create access from cab to living area? My thinking is it would be fine as the bulkhead and box aren't structural.

  13. 21 a cube? A transit holds 4 to 5 cube. So 80 to 100 quid a load? Better than a poke in the eye.
  14. That's my whole point, trust is earned. Why anyone would expect me to pay them upfront when I've never dealt with them before is beyond me, and vice versa.
  15. £21 pounds a cube for would chip,that's if they accept it at Didcot, less than 6 weeks old and couldn't have much greenery in it. Artic and bulker 21 cubic metres is the max the could take in one hit, still have to rent the yard and load the chip...that's if it doesn't get refused in Didcot.. Yes everything has a value, but its got to be financially viable . Just realised I've tagged you in it
  16. I knew of a dopey plumber who got screwed for 30k 🤣 if your nieve enough to let bills rack up on the hope of getting paid -u only have your self to blame . Also just for future reference ,doing also what you've done in the past you need to be very wary of doing, can be classed as theft and also if you book out materials knowing someone's going bankrupt it can be classed as fraud ...best thing is ask for money up front or chase them through court . Its not easy for the small people ...but just ask the idiots who supplied goods to carillon up front and never got paid .. Some people learn the hard way .
  17. Wordle 1,501 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. Ive heard the Sherpas and ASs are good. The Grillo looks like an Iseki, maybe the Grillo is a knock off. Ive just managed to raise the deck a bit on the Grillo, by moving a 'shut off' so the blades can turn in the travel position. The highest standard height setting was 90cm, which was too high and I was hitting too much and digging into the soil.
  19. For Starmer and VDL it was an utter embarrassment. I guess Trump must have enjoyed his time there as they all came to kiss the orange arse, sweet revenge considering he was laughed at and mocked by the EU/ German elite a few years ago when he warned about reliance on Russian energy and lack of NATO spending. Who’s laughing now 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  21. We have been using a sherpa and friend has an Iseki that seems good and decent value for money. Seems you get slightly more comfort when you spend a bit more
  22. The gift that keeps on giving!! | Graham Dampier Irons BA (Hons) WWW.LINKEDIN.COM The gift that keeps on giving!! This is television gold that we can all dine out on for years to come. It’s like... Err err err err err err err err Irregular or illegal 🤷‍♂️make your bloody mind up.
  23. Fun day killing a big poplar VID-20250725-WA0019.mp4
  24. I was once asked to "assist" in the recovery of goods fitted to a hotel/country club project that had clearly gone south, the bloke responsible had fleeced just about everyone involved in it and I was with the heating installer as he didn't fancy going alone, we had already removed the new boiler that had not been paid for, and moved on to pipework and rads, valves etc, so I'm in one of the rooms and the door bursts open and six feckin' huge guys enter the room with a little attitude, I grab a couple of copper off cuts and hoping to show them my amateur escrima skills asks, "ok, who's first" matey is behind me with an adjustable wrench looking rather nervous. they all look a little taken aback by my willingness for combat,, and the front guy says,," steady mate we're just here to collect the snooker table that hasn't been paid for" I have to admit I was a bit relieved, all day people were turning up to salvage what they could from the work they had done and were never to get paid for, carpets, lighting, tables, various items of furniture. It later transpired the con man who was the culprit in this had done similar previously, and a couple of rather suspect insurance jobs. I expect those that got burned were a bit dubious about starting the next job without at least a sizable deposit for work they were contracted for.
  25. I love how this has gone from weird stuff found in a tree, to looking at cool old gats. keep it up lads!😍
  26. how about a nice patio,,
