  1. Remember you can keep your prices the same for domestic, but they include the VAT. A £480 job still costs Mrs. Miggins £480, but it's actually £400 + VAT. Yes, you're down on what you would have earned, but remember you can now reclaim VAT on nearly everything you have to buy for the business, and you can back-date some of it. Don't ever try playing silly buggers with the VAT people though. They literally have more powers than the police and will tear you a new one without anaesthetic if you even look at them funny.
  2. Climber had lentil curry and too much booze last night.
  3. There's so many variables each one will be different. I never had much pain from when I woke up, and I'm off the meds now.
  4. I think, as I know most of you think, it is great for football. Playing tidy stuff as well. I'd love it if they win it, love it.
  5. I've always supported Leicester really. My Newcastle allegiance was just a front.
  6. Is there an Echo in here.... Looking forward to seeing the 2510 in the flesh, pardon the turn of phrase!
  7. It's sort of private, no A&E department, but they do take on some NHS stuff and I was lucky enough to bag a slot.
  8. Afternoon list, but I didn't get into theatre till about 4.15. Woke up about 6.10, picked up and away at about 7.30 Very, very efficient hospital.
  9. Exactly mate. The poem preceded hydraulic splitters, mind.... I've always found 'ash green' to be truly awful firewood as well.
  10. Jesus! Beech as well. Bet that was a sporty drive home.
  11. From a Stallion Stubby? Lucky you didn't drown.
  12. So cynical Alec. Frighteningly true probably.
  13. To me this is dead simple. The lad needs to say to the company he wants to be paid 10 hours, or they can pay him 8 and he'll meet them at the site. Or they can poke their job. UNLESS He lives near the yard and they're doing him a favour by effectively giving him a company vehicle and diesel to get him to work. We need more facts! I take it it's not an arb job?
  14. It's my favourite show by miles and I'm gutted I'm missing it due to injury. I would have cleaned up in the climbing comps.
  15. Thanks mate. At the minute I feel like I helped build it!
  16. Pretty sure that's the one Reg rated, comparable to the 150 though, not the 35cc family.
  17. Thanks Sean. Your thread has helped my positive approach no end.
  18. Thanks Steve. I'll need an eye operation shortly!
  19. Has he talked to them about it?
  20. Buy one off Mesterh Tommy. If it doesn't fit I'll buy it off you as a spare.
  21. Yes, but still occasionally foul the strop on the Caritool.
  22. I've always found this saying to be a cretinously inaccurate pile of country bs, like that stupid firewood poem.
