Yeah sorry, did,nt know you are a student. My experience with s/hand saws has not been very good. I like fiddling with engines to a degree and I am partial to the odd s/hand bargain or two, but on the whole i would always pump my money into new saws as opposed to s/hand. For me they have always been a false economy.

Put it on ebay and get shot of it.

So what,s you,re take on it ?
-
Dont always take what you,re accountant says as gospel. If you ever get an inspection he will rip into you,re accounts like there,s no tomorrow. I get my accountant to deduct 20% from my phone bills for personal use, that includes my mobile. When I say "he will rip into you,re accounts" I mean the tax man. It,s you,re signature on the tax return, not you,re accountants my friend.

I may be wrong here but I,m sure someone will tell me if I am. Harness:scrap it after 5yr, climbing rope: scrap it after 2yr, prussik slings: scrap after 6months, and karabiners: scrap after 6 months also.
-
No you cant, youre supposed to deduct a percentage for private use. But good luck to you if you think you can get away with it.

Are these from Bally-go-backwards......come here there,s more
-
Hahahaha, you n me both. Try two rubber rings under the barrow and inflate, see if that lifts it.
-
I get stacks of these calls throughout the year. I have always had plenty of work from the Yp so have always told these people no I dont need to advertise anywhere else and the call has ended there. I can honestly say I,ve never heard of this scam before now........A very good heads up.
-
Big mistake buying the ring, you should have bought the saw first so you can earn more money then get the ring. Jonesie does a lovely little AMA top handle for £150 inc vat.

I am serious about Anne I think she is great. At the moment she is fighting for Gurkha,s to have the right to stay in this country........she,s quite sexy as well.
-
Of course I,m joking, I would,nt slot anyone except nonces, but I think we had better stay away from that one. Bring back Maggie, she would,nt have had all the scroungers that we have today. Or another favourite of mine Anne Widdecombe. So apart from me,lol, who would you like to see as PM ? That question is aimed at anyone who cares to answer.

. I can see it now, The Right Honourable Mick Stockbridge. Maybe I should ask the queen for a knighthood as well. Oh and then a nice new extension on the house out of the nations tax coffers. You,re right 88 I will need a home secretary so the job is youre,s. Dont worry about crime as I,m gonna abolish that human rights twoddle. All criminals will complete their sentences in full and breaking rocks. I will outlaw fatties,druggies,malingerers and any other non desireables. I will put in place a year round shooting season for scum and pay a tax free bounty for every scummy head you can shoot.........Hahahahahahaha.

Jason you always manage to twist and turn things, all of the above are capable of work and probably do. I,m only picking on lazy dossers who have no intention of earning their own way in life. People that a perfectly capable of working but hide behind some lame excuse like "I,m too fat, it,s me glands" or "I,m dependant on drugs/alcohol". To be able to claim state benefit you should have a valid reason not an excuse.
-
Thankyou 88, regards to you and you,re wife.................Mr. Ed, I know what you,re saying about fat cat ponces and the like but I dont see them at all let alone everyday like some of the lazy good for nothing gits that stroll past my house filling their mooey,s. There is nothing more annoying than pulling up on you,re drive after a hard day,s work and have a malingerer stroll past with either food in his/her hand or more often than not a can of Tenants. And on top of that they,ll probably be eyeing up you,re saws.

Most people emulate their parents, my dad worked all his life and in turn so have I. There is a bloke who lives up the road from me that,s never had a job due to a bad knee, every so often he has to have it assessed. So what he does is go bait digging in the mud just to dog his knee before assessment, it works a treat because he gets signed off for another five years which means no bills, a brand new car every three years, a free mobile in case it breaks down and all the time in the world to pursue hobbies. Now on top of that he has bred like wildfire and what do you think the sprogs will do. Yeah you got it, they,ll work the system. So I reckon that one family is costing about £30,000 a year. If that aint poncing I dont know what is. Why should we have to keep these parasites ? I,ve been self employed since 1982 and never even had a day,s holiday pay, If I dont work I dont eat end of.

You wont get a snifter of it. And if you try you,ll probably get nicked.

Tucked up indoors mate. You need something Jap.

proposal to boss of training
Mick Stockbridge replied to desired_affect's topic in Training & education
Hello Desired Affect,......mmmmmm, when I saw the title I thought you were suggesting to you,re boss that you should come to work in drag. In which case I would recommend a long black evening dress with matching gloves and clutch bag. And to top it off a long blond wig. Just kidding bruv. -
My wife calls it abuse, but how can it be when he enjoys it.
-
Hahahahaha, me too but they are off limits at the mo......good job I,ve got the Jack Russell to fall back on.Hahahaha
-
Dont get me wrong it blew like Billy O over here, I even lost me smalls off the line. Just not enough to knock any tree,s over. What you really need is two weeks of rain to soften the ground then a big blow, then you,ll get some work from it.

Another problem with burning is insurance, my policy states that any fires should be watched over until burnt out, and that,s nearly impossible.

This weekends storms were a song and dance about nothing. I think they over dramatise things to cover their backs. I love wind it blows out the old crap:blushing:........teehee.
