  1. Well and truly trumped.
  2. I would have said the stihl 066 but for daily use it has to be the 560XP, nothing else has ever compared.
  3. I hope your going to get one of your mates to shoot a drone vid while you doing it. btw thats said with the best of intentions of you have to or we won't believe you not in a snidy way. If you stay tied in and tied into something sensible then you won't have a problem, in regards to any danger. Getting out to the heli might be a bit more of a challenge though! Good luck, it's hardly rocket science and good shout for asking for some advice.
  4. That's The best way to go imo. State what you are doing and price the job accordingly. If you start to get too technical ie it will take x amount of seconds with x amount of men then the customer can come back at you.
  5. WTF! Is that a real image! Hate bloody wasps, been stung many times over the years.
  6. You cant, or I cant, or I dont. Stop being a miserable Scottish git.
  7. Im afraid you live in a different world to the rest of us. An apple and an orange are approx the same shape and size, under the skin they are more or less the same!?:lol:
  8. I never charged by the hour, full day, half day or look at the job and give a price. If you have to start dissecting lunch breaks etc then forget that! TBH, I have never worked for someone, or had anyone work for me that worked by the hour.
  9. Cool, which skoda has the r8 running gear as I'm off to buy one in the morn on the promise of this thread?
  10. Not read through the thread but I havent a clue on what you are on about! You price a job and thats it. If I price and its X amount, when it comes to pay its X amount, unless ive killed the cat then I might charge a bit more but in general it doesnt matter what you do as long as you do it right and don't con them in the first place. IE, its a tricky job and I will need 43 men and two cranes so its £450 million pounds to remove your elderberry Mrs Miggins.
  11. I probably meant that you are a boring tw4t and no would miss you. No offence intended BTW
  12. Deprivation is more rife than most people think. This isn't beggars in the street it is good people fallen on bad times. Not that beggars in the street aren't good people before a sandal wearer has a go. A long time ago someone told me we are all one pay day away from ruin. Looks like he was right. I see tonight that more libraries, museums and child centres are being closed. What a miserable and bleak future in store!
  13. So your new to the firm and the guy who is already working there is the problem. You sure about that?
  14. No not fussy man no one wants some cucumber and salmon sandwiches for breakfast. People who want that don't ask, they already have a cartoon of soya milk and a sealed bag of special k under their bobble hat. The guy needs a greasy spoon cafe and it looks like porkys has come to the rescue. I wonder if there's a rival cafe around the corner called porkys revenge?
  15. Shittest idea for a breakfast I have ever heard of. Get a grip man.
  16. True, I love the 'words of wisdom' given by people who dont have any concept of the real world. Just think a good few thousand years ago he would have spent 16 hours gathering food how lucky is he and us not to have to do that now.
  17. Better you get used to enjoying the now then. I must say in my older years I do like take that! [ame] [/ame]
  18. You will probably find that when you drop dead you disapparate into nothing. Just a heads up on that one.
  19. Always been a coldpaly fan [ame= ] [/ame]
  20. Surely thats as sad as it gets that you would rather be in work than enjoying yourself at a party!!! Why would you do that?
  21. This. You used work as an excuse to get of going to a wedding fact. Read that as working rather than doing something else.
  22. Don't despair, I think this kind of 'debate' goes back to the days of Socrates.
  23. husqvarna technical extreme. Best trousers I have ever worn and ive worn a few different brands over the years. Doesn't mean anything though as im sure you're not the same build as me and may be more/less fussy. Get to the APF and try some different pairs on and get your wallet out.
  24. It's the same with subbing, well it's what I did. I would charge x amount a day which would cover certain areas then add more on if there was more of a travel. No different than pricing your own jobs.
  25. Tell him your knackered because of all the shagging your doing with all the fit bored housewives. It's the best part of the job, well that and the endless supply of money we bring home.
