  2. got a call to quote to"trim a garden tree"......turns out a small maple no more tham 10 years old about 10/15feet tall , could have cut it down and carried it away in my back pocket, any way 1 of these small jobs that ur embrassed to charge 50 quid......anyway turns out she had been quoted 170 to do 30 mins work....how anyone could ask that money for that task is beyond me.

  12. straight butts dont always get the premium prices, natural bends in certain timbers are sought after but knowing what and to whom seems the hardwood merchants secrets. there is a good site called scottish hardwoods worth a look at.

  20. How Fights Start My wife sat down on the settee next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ****************************************** My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And then the fight started.... ****************************************** Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started... ***************************************** My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started... ****************************************** When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her some place expensive... so, I took her to a petrol station. And then the fight started.... ****************************************** After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And then the fight started... ****************************************** My wife and I were sitting at a table at my school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started... ****************************************** I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason took my order first. "I'll have the steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" Nah , she can order for herself." And then the fight started... ****************************************** A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replied, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight started.....
  21. reported him to ebay .........heres the item number just in case any1 sees it relisted..280400330604
  22. what wasnt said either, got him on the phone earlier today, just said he personal problems all week, i supose that means he was goin to pull it if he was had got near his computer. there were 2 ending at same time wish i had bid for the other tipping trailer, not to worry maybe pick 1 up soon
  23. bought a graham edwards tipping trailer on ebay lastnite, only for the joker to back out after the sale was over, no reserve on it Left some negative feedback, at the end of the day it isnt worth the hassle chasing him, ebays a commission collecting agency and as long as they collect their commission from him they will be happy.
  24. the last 2 days we have had 2 small frogs/ toads appear n the toilet. first 1 i fished out and releashed in the garden, the second wasnt so keen to be caught and got flushed back down the loo. Any1 else had similiar experience and no great white shark sightings pls
