I know exactly what you mean, except now the neighbours want there Trees "done" like that!

Theres a lack of work in every industry, so I think anyones foolish to sit on a high horse about this type of work, if thats what the customer wants and you have advised against but they insist what can you do? lets face it we all need to eat, plus as a bonus perhaps youll get paid twice! Sitting on moral high ground when work is thin does not feed the kids.

Earlier today my only key to remove the trailer from ball hitch fell to pieces, it is the only way to remove the trailer from its ball hitch. The company have quoted me £17 and 2 weeks to get a replacement and only other help they could offer is to drill the lock out and replace completely, this seems ridiculous, I know im the fool without a spare (lost within first week of ownership) but unless im going to totally destroy the locking mechanism there doesnt appear to be any other way, any ideas?

High scale, sorry to burst your bubble, but this is known as a 419 scam, they can run into loads of emails pretending to be a bona fida eastern european hotty with increasingly more explicit pics and emails telling of her undying love for you! but heres the crunch eventually she will ask for money for her visa/airfare or towards her parents who are at the mercy of the local heavies, unfortunately if it seems to good to be true it probably is. If you continue to email be aware, dont send any personal details or your address etc it mat be genuine but i doubt it. Ask for some naked photos before you tell her to sling her hook. P.s her! name is probably boris and has a lovely hairy beard! In all seriousness be carefull a lot of people are scammed in this manner , some send out 50+ emails before the scammer asks for money.

Both the police and the mountain rescue told the organisers it was inadvisable to run this event, yet they went ahead in some horendous conditions putting numerous lives at risk, some of my freinds are in the Mountain rescue and were involved in the rescue putting ther own lives on the line for others. There was no reason to not postpone until the weather was better. In my opinion a foolish move by the organisers, But its your own choice to take part in things like this so if it goes pear shaped and youve been warned then you should be accountable for any costs involved in your rescue. I live and work in these Mountains respect is due.

I live in the LAKE DISTRICT its called that for a reason, only 2 seasons here, Wet and not quite as wet, so work regardless although do tend towards the easier jobs on really poor days.(Or stay in bed and the Kids go hungry!) As the old saying goes "It cant go past your skin boy"
