Anyone who has got a bit of talent, not that I'm bitter or anything like, although I never liked Jimmy Krankie he just wasn't funny. Oh an Bungle was well annoying.

Im thinking of getting this engraved on my tombstone next week. Well, hopefully not next week but it will be if I have to watch that TV program.

Hey its this or X factor.

Now that sounds like a plan.. Ooops, looks like it went down hill fairly quickly! I think matelot and vespian could got some of their points across better if they didn't sound like crazy hating crazymen. You really are not doing yourselves a favour. Honesty you sound like a big fat white texan shouting that black men are eating our women and sleeping with our food.

How long will I be dragging brush before getting to climb?
Mesterh replied to Shooter's topic in Climbers talk
I don't know if it has been mentioned but did you take the job on letting the boss know that you want to start climbing? Otherwise he may just want/need a brash dragger rather than spend time and money training you up. I would spend as much time as possible practicing climbing, at lunch times, after work, weekends etc. -
Do you rates go up as much as they should each year..
Mesterh replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
Thank God times have changed, at least it wasn't a 4 pack of skol. It's good that we always want more, it spurs the human race on, otherwise we would still be living in mud huts eating grunge. My wages have allways gone up year on year, although not as much as I would like! -
That last bit about being replaced by a table is priceless.
-
That sounds like a low character for sure. Good to see sense prevailed in the courts though. Looks like it doesn't happen very often though in regards to only one reply, which is good.

I'm sure you will be fine but I know more than a few firms who have done the same only to be greeted by a letter from the liquidators. They all fell into the subby bashing trap of doing more and more work, chasing invoices that the company they worked for knew where never getting paid as they were going bankrupt on xxxx date. Or knew that they could bankrupt the firm they were hiring in by holding back payment. So a word of warning, don't trust anyone and don't tell them if you are in financial difficulty. Sorry to be negative but I've seen it happen plenty of times and it's happened to us once but at least we pulled out when they only owed us a£1000

I don't know, the getting covered in molten metal bit would put me off. Sounds like it's been quite nasty in some parts, stay safe boys and girls, then smash those trees to get that speedboat.
-
Well, that goes without saying. So that's why beech hedge can retain a lot of leaves? That's something I never knew but did wonder about, everyday days a school day.

Have you ever been sued (includes paying damages before court action) by a client, employee an insurance company or other third party? Just wondering if it has ever happened, I guess it must have but I have never heard of it. Also applies to the LOLER/trainer/inspector etc side of the industry. If so some details please.
-
I think that will lead me on to a new thread. I guess the percentage of insures paying out when it comes to the crunch is fairly low if non excistant.
-
Now that is an answered thread.
-
I know but, my insurance assured me that my PLI was valid even though I didnt have ELI as at the time I didnt have any employees, I could still operate in the eyes of the law. I have never had to claim so I cant confirm the above No offence but I think there is too much hearsay in regards to insurance. I would like to hear from anyone that has had an accident and their insurance hasn't paid out. Full facts please. So, in standing with the chocolate teapot circumnavigating the earth, show me an insurance claim that has refused to pay out the PLI on the grounds of not having ELI. Well it is Sunday night and we only have work to look forward to in the morning
-
They are two different things though. I have always had pli even when subbing/freelancing/being an employed freelance subby, and eli as and when. My insurance sure as eggs took my money but did assure me I was covering third parties no matter what. Both very important though. I would hate to cause a life changing injury to someone and them not be properly compensated.
-
You mean to say you haven't got one already?
-
Did it look like this?
-
I hope that counseling will include any distraught parents!?

That, minus a tenner,BOOM jobs mine!

Horrible accident that one! Hope he wasn't too badly injured but I don't like his odds. Other video is a cracker of a job though. I wouldn't want to do either of them.
-
In reality if he does cut back to the boundary and in the future one does blow over causing damage the relevant insurance will pay or and that will be it. It would be up to the insurance to try and claw back money if they thought it was worth their time which it probably won't be. They/you would have to prove that him cutting the branches off caused the the tree to fall down when it's likely the height at 25m+ plus would be the real cause. I've been too many wind blown leylandii and height is nearly always the issue, along with a bit of wind of course. I would get the height reduced and let him do what he needs to do. Life's to short to be worrying if a tree is going to wipe out your property, especially 80 foot leylandiis.

At least you have cleared things up for everyone. Yes racists are evil, and so are those religious extremists who need hanging. So the thinking is, be a racist or risk being killed? How disturbing. Im sure that you banging on with your views, and you do go on and on and on about it more than anyone else, protects us more from these religious nutters then? Meanwhile 10 people have been murdered in the UK this week, non of it terror related. That might be more of an important issue atm. Btw, before you start that doesn't mean I condone, sympathise or think any less of these religious terrorists scum.

Of course that isn't racist, but it's not like you would just say that, you would back it up with saying how superior whites were because of it etc etc. I can obviously change my mind but that's not what I've done, I'm saying they won't eventually get anywhere with it, we won't see a extreme far right party in power imo. So yes I think they are going nowhere. I define a racist as someone who thinks that one race is superior to another and/or has hate for another race, you come across as one of those people through your posts. As you know I'm not the only that thinks that, not that it seems to bother you.
