    APF24

    I didn't go. Was put off the size of the doughnuts last time.... we're they any bigger this time 😮 I went up to the front of que and said "is there any adult sized doughnuts please?" 😀
  3. Is probation not 6 months now also? Used to be 3 months.
  4. If that's the case then you don't want to be full time for anyone, neither on the books or not. You need to be self employed and work for various folks seeing various different setups and how things are done. Travel about a bit. Not all eggs in one basket When you first start a company I very much doubt you will employ straight off the bat. You will use freelance people to get you going
  5. I'd say you sound a right barrel of laughs and swallowed employment law book for breakfast. Are you a spam bot that works for hmrc?
  6. Cheers, yes found some 1/2" unc bolts with a shank. 10.9 tensile so that ticks that box. One pound odd a bolt so significantly cheaper With regards to nylock, I've had several other chippers use nylock nits bit they also have a grip type washer under neath.... also they are larger diameter bolts though so maybe less affected with heat? Not sure. 5.80 plus vat for a nut though, you can see where I'm coming from can't you lol 😆
  7. Use a file and put a chamfer on the edges of the pads the friction material part, top and bottom
  8. Just wondering if anyone has managed to source blade bolts and nuts from another source other than bandit? Blade nut is 5.80 and a non genuine bolt is 2.80 off them. When you need 8 and they're only nuts and bolts at the end of the day it's taking the piss really. They are obviously made elsewhere and sold via bandit. ( they can be used up to 3 times but even so, 5.80 for a bloody nut stroll on) Basically an imperial bolt and can't see any reason maybe a nylock nut would not work instead.
  9. 300 nicker by looks of it on Internet?
  10. Not worried at all. Ben burgess sells bits and mostlikely more now. Most things can be had from anywhere.... engines, bearings, belts etc. All teeth etc all from Ben burgess .
  11. Wow can't believe you lot. In all my shooting and not done any for a long while and maybe not as much as some of you may have done. But. .... 177 all day long man! Bisley magnums pack a hell of a punch. Lot flatter trajectory. Can't believe people still mess about with 22.... or even .20 for that matter. I was always a single shot man. (But had some multis) Had allsorts aa s400, daystate air rangers, rapid 17, bb s10, logun sweet 16, falcon fn12 bloody all sorts! My personal favourite bsa hornet .177 with the mmc cooking system. Regulated rifle mint! Do some reading up mate, airgunbbs etc. .177 is where it's at out to 40 yards head shots no worries with practice
  12. Not sure yet. Usually same old stuff for me to bother. When is it?
  13. Good advertisement for you! All the best for the show 😀
  14. What a shitter. Can't they just solder on as is? Or what about that plastic stuff that comes in sections with holes in and back filled with pebbles type job? Any driveway over that existing is asking for trouble.... A driveway that can flex breathe and drain is a must there for the tree and clients pocket
  15. My safetrack has been fine in the last 300 plus hours I've clocked up and I've chipped a hell of a lot of stuff with it volume wise. No issues due to heat with machine or with the chip at all 😀

    Tax tax tax

    Is anyone else wondering what is going to be meddled with and awaiting an atrocious budget at the end of october? Is anyone taking more steps to pay less to the money wasting sods and had enough? What's your plan? Work less, work more? Blast all into pension? Blow the lot? Buy loads of equipment? It's a shame you nowadays have to think a lot more and harder about what you do with your money and have better planning going forwards (even if the government still can get their grotty fingers on it) As a main family bread winner it's concerning to try secure a good future It's tax planning not tax evasion
  17. Always call into Moffat when passing to the butchers on main street for some slice sausage 😎
  18. Bloody hell Ruben, your the southern version of me 😆 All the above the same. And even me getting sick of talking to folk, do you know any decent lads after work etc..... (and no doubt they sick of me too) I've tried colleges all sorts. Lots of space cadets out there on facebook etc... I've actually found someone recently to start soon but who knows!? I think it's all about time and luck. No science Good luck bud
  19. Not a clue but all I ever hear is of the lads saying they are on good brass due to working at night.... they dont want to be day walker / day workers no more.... Vampires lol
  20. **************** that for a game of soldiers ! Obviously different but I'm fortunate to o ly work within 20 miles of my Base. Usually 5-12 miles away most time. That's domestic arb though . Once of a day contract climbing I've been allover but even then maybe 60 miles away and 60 miles back and that wore thin after a while
  21. Can you get smaller quantities from these and do they send them out?
  22. Bloody hell fire! That last pic
  23. That was my morning view for 2 weeks. Got back late Monday evening 😴 then rain and sunshine this week. No 34 degrees anymore
