Aaarr sry mate theres no need for you to throw a tantrum because I left you out of my above post:crying: :congrats: There ya go, I forgot you dont care either.
-
:congrats: Yes yes youre all right and I'm completly wrong. Does this make you all feel better now? Oooops sry why would you, you all dont care anyway

IIRC you were the fist one to mention a hobo. Actually I meant from people on here not there employer.
-
Dont listen to those miserable gits, some things are worth fighting for and just giving up aint the British way. If I hadnt spoken up when I was employed I woulda missed out on a few pay rises. Would be a lot of people on the dole if they just moved on when things werent going as they should. Some people dont understand that if you have a passion and take pride in your work then its easy to get upset and annoyed when they tell you its all a waste of time no one cares and a hobo could do it just as well.

Just done a lot of googling cant find any definitive but it seems that there is no minimum speed limit for motorways but if you are causing an obstruction you may get stopped by the police.

I agree. Use some ladders then the rest of your climb is more productive:thumbup1: Looks fake to me btw. Not just the vid (it does look very suss) the device, just a simple square black box that size, nope.
-
I think the AA(Automobile association to avoid confusion:001_smile:) were trying to impose a minimum speed limit on motorways to 56MPH:thumbup:

My little knowledge is that you see it loads on ash and I think it turns up when there is already a problem and infects the deadwood. I dont think it moves to live wood. Best wait till a more intelligent person than me adds info though:thumbup1:

Satellites and exhausts, if any of you have fillings sleep with your mouth closed!

Excellent work:thumbup1:

I there much chance that any of our PC's could have been infected with a virus or spyware? If so any idea what type and how to get rid? I have done an adaware and avast sweep and havent found anything but thought would ask just in case its something new etc.
-
I think I would rather have had my car nicked than that happening!!
-
Vent and filter or you can get an upgraded one, still rubbish though imo.
-
Did it do much if any damaged to the path? Looks like tarmac or was it just stone?
-
He he probably. I suppose its easy to understand why 'jobs worths' on site want to see every scrap of paper work. Would be fairly poor to loose your house because someone didnt have the right bit of paper and they injured themselves in a completely different aspect of work not relating to that bit of paper!
-
I knew what you meant and didnt mean to imply that I meant a hobo:laugh1:
-
From the sounds of how it all works you would be fecked! So really every freelance we get in we should have the proof of there gear being LOLERED, plus every time we use a crane, hired in mewp, grab wagon etc etc we should get a copy of there LOLER ticket.

Bleedin hell thats unlucky for him:thumbdown: Hope hes doing OK. Did he work in a pub or something?

Maybe I am hearing it wrong but I thought you said that someone off the streets can be up to speed in two weeks. Up to what kind of speed. We obviously havent differing views of what is classed as skilled and what isnt. Myself I think it takes more like 5 years to be up to speed rather than a fortnight. Of course there are different levels of skill and we are always learning, just like everyone else in every other job. You will no doubt find architects bitching about each other (probably more so than us) since they also take a pride in what they do and they are probably only as good as there last job Doctors, well its not very legal to practice medicine without a license I think. Plus they are usually above the law, quite untouchable and they know it. It takes some major major boo boo's to get struck off.

The kit also allows you to do a better job. I doubt you could do a good reduction or thin while hanging on to the trunk with one arm. I knew a lad that liked to climb sometimes without a rope so he looked hard! He could only do easy stuff though and did a piss poor job at that. He did a lot better when he did it properly though. The bit about the insignificance compared to child birth well you could say that about everything not work but all life experiences. I think people stamp their feet when they hear that what they do is S*** and anyone with no effort,training,skill,competence,brain cells etc could do exactly the same with minimum input.

Surely thats a bit patronizing dont you think?

health and safety a controversial subject?
Mesterh replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
I'll be one statistic for nicking boots with a saw:001_smile: I'll confess to being guilty a couple of times in hitting the steel toe cap but thats from just being lazy, if I was wearing a pair of hiking boots then I wouldnt have gone there. -
How would you dress for an interview for a job in arb?
Mesterh replied to will.morris's topic in General chat
I think you should always dress for the interview as you would while in the job. This works for me. [ATTACH]32625[/ATTACH] -
Company policy can be completely different to what is law. From July 1 2007, it is now illegal to smoke in the workplace in England, as part of new government legislation which was passed in the Health Act 2006. The ban applies to all workplaces and public places, public transport, work vehicles, restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes, shopping centres and offices. It is therefore imperative to know what is expected from businesses, staff, customers and visitors and for businesses to ensure that the new law is complied with. The ban extends to incorporate any public area which is either ‘wholly enclosed’ or ‘substantially enclosed’ – the latter meaning that places such as sports stadia, outdoor concert venues etc. will also be covered under the new legislation."

Its to do with smoking in buildings its against the law, and work vehicles.
