  1. You cant, or I cant, or I dont. Stop being a miserable Scottish git.
  2. 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:
  3. 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.
  4. Cool, which skoda has the r8 running gear as I'm off to buy one in the morn on the promise of this thread?
  5. 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.
  6. I probably meant that you are a boring tw4t and no would miss you. No offence intended BTW
  7. 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!
  8. So your new to the firm and the guy who is already working there is the problem. You sure about that?
  9. 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?
  10. Shittest idea for a breakfast I have ever heard of. Get a grip man.
  11. 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.
  12. Better you get used to enjoying the now then. I must say in my older years I do like take that! [ame] [/ame]
  13. You will probably find that when you drop dead you disapparate into nothing. Just a heads up on that one.
  14. Always been a coldpaly fan [ame= ] [/ame]
  15. 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?
  16. This. You used work as an excuse to get of going to a wedding fact. Read that as working rather than doing something else.
  17. Don't despair, I think this kind of 'debate' goes back to the days of Socrates.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.

    About time!

    Is it not more to do with the UK government allowing Apple to put their money through other channels rather than Ireland having low tax rates? Surely they will just use Luxemburg our some other country.
  22. I think you've been doing a bit too much self medicating. Your on a UK arb forum not an Aussie one. No one employees people who are allergic to bees around here.
  23. So your answer to my first question is? you question dodging question dodger you. Are those splints any good for nettle stings? Personally they don't bother me but I know some lads are proper whimps so they could be an invaluable addition to the first aid kit, well at least it won't go mouldy like a doc leaf does.
  24. Don't you think that you might kill or paralyze him in the process? Which could be highly likely. As for leg splints, the last thing I want is someone pissing about with my broken leg who hasn't got a clue, or a bag of morphine on tap.
  25. Is there no end to this silliness! Maybe let the trained professionals do their job correctly rather than some arb with little training and a van full of stuff have a go?
