  1. Tell you the truth I'm not sure, I've spoken with Ted before but I was on a different contract then.
  2. Thanks Alex, it looks like Ted is on to it.
  3. Nah, it's Ted easyliftguy, always good for a natter if I could get through to him.
  4. Still doesn't work.
  5. I've got a missed call from America it starts +1, but I can't call it back, I've tried 00, still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
  6. Sat in the box with all the windows, door and skylights open 28.2 degrees.
  7. Company goes bump, no redundancy.
  8. Underground tank?, it depends how wafty you are, I get my bottled gas off a bloke who fills them from his domestic tank, I know it's not recommended but I've never had a problem. There is a place not a million miles from you that do 47kg bottles for (don't quote me) about 45 squids.
  9. Fixed that for you.
  10. I'd go this way, I don't know what the price/litre is these days on a domestic tank but it's eye watering expensive by the bottle.
  11. There are millions of people like 'that', they turn out for an employer day in day out. People rarely change jobs if the wages and conditions are ok. It took me until my 30's to realise how much money other people were earning from my labour. Anyone who's got the ambition, and motivation as the boss will be the boss.
  12. At twice their wage you might as well get a prima Donna subby in, let's suggest you pay someone on the books £15/hour, he's costing you £30/hour, 8 hours at £30=£240/day. From what I've read here Most subbies are cheaper than that.
  13. I must get another dog soon.
  14. London is a different place!, if I/you tried to pull £100+mileage in Suffolk for a Transit we'd be on a hiding to nothing. It'd be a good days money plus fuel. Just tell them what you want with your truck and labour for the day, I don't see why it needs breaking down to tools, truck, labour.
  15. Got a choice of two jobs up there if I want them, ones with a mate on a building renovation job the other is on the drains doing surveys, something I haven't done for years, decisions, decisions.
  16. Excellent looking camp, where is it?
  17. Renting paddocks out to the horsey set gives a much greater return than putting a crop on the same amount of land. I bet you are livid now?
  18. More than welcome here Ratty, wherever I'm pulled.
  19. Nah mate, into the Moorlands, a few miles over from your outlaws, if it pulls off.
  20. I had to laugh with you Stubby, but it's made my mind up, I'm packing down and moving back North. I think I've sorted a place to pull the truck on, it might take a few weeks to sort but I want to be around my lot.
  21. I understand that as we get older more of our mates shuffle off, but three of them are lads under 60, one killed himself with the booze, one died in what seems to be an accident, but it's still a fair tally.
  22. I've been to two mates funerals already this year, I've heard today another mate died in his sleep last night. Then I get another call to tell me an old boy I've met a few times from another forum died in a light aircraft crash yesterday. I'll be glad when this year is over.
  23. Bang on, I'm a one man band. I've broken my own gear and other people's over the years, suck it up, it happens!
  24. If you don't mind a run out try this fella, he used to get loads of them used once for molasses from the beet factory in Bury-st-Ed's.

  25. Bit like how Bolam described me recently bud, part of the furniture. Hotel California.
