  1. holly molly, what can you say, i wonder why it all of a sudden cuts to the tree on its side? maybe because they all had to run like hell very quickly.
  2. good stuff, hope the job goes well. dont forget the pics for us:001_smile:
  3. pm garth mcgarth, he has a mog, chipper and does loads of jobs like that i think geoff, i think he is around you neck of the woods. he hasnt been to well lately so not been posting much. but worth a call
  4. if i am working for someone i dont know, i will ask to be paid in cash on the day to guarantee i get my money, they will still get a vat receipt. if it is over 500 quid i offer a 5% discount aswell. the amount of time and fuel i have wasted trying to chase up money from folk out of town i don't know is unbelievable. they can always find a way of paying you on the day if they can save some pennies:sneaky2:
  5. i got a piece of filings in my retina once from sharpening the saw on a windy day, had to be dug out with a needle. always wear my visor. but stuff still gets through
  6. pics mate, i saw that in a magazine in the dentist, looks the dogs, you can do pull ups as well if its the same thing
  7. i think some of you guys should get on the stress thread:ohmy:
  8. i have been vat registered since my third year in business, it was great. i was buying a mog and chipper, so i claimed approx 4 k back on it, you can claim 3 years vat assets back, so i got 8 k back as well. that paid for the chipper:001_cool:some people moan, others try and offer cash in hand. i stick by my guns. if you just tell them the inclusive price they are happy, its back to the 'type of customer' you get.
  9. once you slacken your trousers, hoik up your thong, you are sure to get plenty wolf whistles:001_tt1:
  10. the ones that look like they have forgotten their horse:001_smile:
