  7. cheers mr tee you wouldn't have an idea of a climbers wage in your area?
  8. yeah seen it bit far but i am considering it! going to ring about wages1 that will be the decider:001_smile:
  9. my missus answer to these types of questions is to move and i have had enough of similar problems now so i too am of the opinion of move house:001_tongue: we have to wipe out our kitchen units very regularly of condensation and this is the only answer i can come up with! sorry i know that doesn't help.
  10. bosses in work, i hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ram health and safety down your throats when it suits them then ignore it at stupid times like the current weather. when everyone is advising not to travel.
  11. a good soak in a reasonable warm bath (for your rope! suppose you could jump in too) followed by in a pillow case in a washing machine. In work we use a steam cleaner that gets sap and dog mess off a treat. I have also used the not bothering technique that works aswell.
  12. LMAO hope he got a heavy fine for his stupidness and for being a p%$£
  13. hi guys just wondering if anyone has heard of any job opportunities out there! employed, self employed, sub contract, short term long term. I know that it is the wrong time to look for a new job but i have had enough of my current one! climber or groundsman and i have my own kit if needed:001_smile:
  14. going to the local shop in slippers and dressing gown in my area!
  15. not that fine doing better than last year i have days to spare rather than hours:scared1:
  16. just for you welwell David Brentisms :001_tt1:my fav is no 10. 1. Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 2. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. 3. There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough. 4. Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly. 5. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. 6. Never do today that which will become someone else’s responsibility tomorrow. 7. Every time you open your mouth you have this wonderful ability to continually confirm what I think. 8. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER! 9. Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office. 10. Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue. 11. If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation. 12. You don't have to be mad to work here! In fact we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure that you are not. 13. If you treat the people around you with love and respect, they will never guess that you're trying to get them sacked. 14. If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried. 15. You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back. 16. If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves. 17. Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do. 18. There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either. And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure. 19. Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do. 20. Make good use of your cylindrical filing unit, the one you mainly keep under your desk. 21. Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots. 22. If you're gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes - make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast. 23. Remember the 3 golden rules: 1. It was like that when I got here. 2. I didn't do it. 3. (To your Boss) I like your style. 24. The office is like an army, and I'm the field general. You're my footsoldiers and customer quality is the WAR!!! 25. Set out to leave the first vapour trail in the blue-sky scenario. 26. Statistics are like a lamp-post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination. 27. A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else’s? 28. You don't have to be mad to work here, but you do have to be on time, well presented, a team player, customer service focused and sober!! 29. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some b*stard with a torch, bringing me more work. 30. Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them. found these for ya!
  17. just finished last years! anyone else do their own books?
  18. seems as if a nerve has been struck with you boys whats the matter a little bit unsure of your sexuality:001_smile:

    she has just looked over my shoulder and said yes i was right with a satisfied smirk:001_tt1: must be love:blushing:
  21. jamesw

    School work

    got fleeced by this scam but for the emergency services booklet. said yes over the phone ended up parting with the cash just to get rid!! never again and the worst part about it the missus was right:scared1:
  22. as with everyone else practice. personally i try and visualise it going over sounds but i find it works. other than that give your rope to someone else sit down and smoko and give them the abuse they were giving you
  23. personally i have insurance from when i had a business i have just kept it on as well all my kit, because i work as much as i can for myself. I work directly for a LA. South Wales at least this is comon practice and people actually aproach you to do "hobbles" "homers" knowing you have no insurance but can see you can do the job. All i want to do is not cause a massive arguement but just to be honest that in our industry mainly when you talk about big companies utility and LA (IMO) that pay basic rates of around £15000 PA ( which is a joke:scared1:) then people are going to work on the side and they are going to do it without insurance. And there are customers out there who are happy to employ people on these terms. i am not saying its right or wrong just it happens. as forest gump says thats all i am going to say about that right now:001_smile:
  24. as with all the arguements i have with my missus i will gracefully agree that you are all right and i am wrong. but i felt strongly enough to put the point across i know it will be offensive to the masses but it goes on! and i know i won't be liked for saying it!
  25. sorry forgot to add i know this takes business away from legally trading businesses but that to is life and i have been on both sides of the fence so i do understand.
