  1. I thought your daughter would have just thrown something sharp at it.
  2. Ah, that's why I had to tag Ali in the Landie back thread.
  3. Haix Protector Pro come up quite roomy. I find Meindl to be a bit snug though. You would really be best finding the time to try them on before buying IMO.
  4. History is written by the victors.
  5. Word.
  6. Remind me never to nick your lunch, Kevin.
  7. Have you checked the compression on it? It may be getting low enough when hot to cause the problem.
  8. Often a good starting point in diagnostics of any kind.
  9. Certainly is. I've seen you trying and you manage to connect about 1 in 4.
  10. Nice colour. Bet it goes well with your Hiflex.
  11. Nice thread and great pics, Rich. Looks like it's going well over there.
  12. We would be on different teams but I have worked with a lot like him who had some very funny stories to tell. I used to work with a very homophobic Zimbabwean twat who was constantly needling a very camp old dealer from Brum. He put the Zimbabwean bloke very nicely in his place by saying, after the umpteenth accusation of his being a pervert, " I might be a pervert but I still wouldn't shag you."
  13. I did nearly 20 years in the casino business before I started tree work. I bet I could make him blush without too much effort
  14. It's exactly why I joined.
  15. They look like the ones Steve had. Nicely found.
  16. Blimey, must be bad.
  17. PJ back in town?
  18. Ouch! Hope you heal well and quickly.
  19. You've lost me there, Swinny. I meant that an employee should be paid their hours from starting work at the yard until when they leave it. If the company owner books work in a long way from base, they shouldn't expect their staff to do a longer day for no extra reward. I'm a subby and I work on a swings and roundabouts basis with the people I work for but it generally works out to my benefit, or at least not to my detriment. They're happy as the job is finished to a proper standard and they get home earlier too.
  20. They're still not free to leave though so you are controlling their time.
  21. PM sent.
  22. Assuming that your blokes are on the books, do you do a short day or pay the extra hours for travelling?
  23. In which case the tickets are the employer's responsibility, along with holiday pay, sick pay etc etc.
