Nope, most of my work is for a well respected farther and son set up.
-
I give up.

Connecting a new build bungalow to the original house rather than dig the road up to get on the main, problem was it was right opposite my boss' sisters house on a weekend, and I was using a water authority van.

Leave it out, I work as a freelancer for one company on a day rate, I base that on a ten hour day. I worked 17 hours one day last month, you don't think I want paying more for that day? yes it is nice to get away early or get a late start but how often does it happen when you are subbing?

This is my experience, one family have dominated the local PC for years until a few outsiders moved in 20+ years ago, neither them or the newcomers get the work. Most cases in life it's who you know, not what you know, don't work like that with PC's around this way.

No but I used to drink with Old Tom and even he couldn't swing it for me.
-
Not so, the ex Mrs Egg was on the parish council, I never got one job I quoted. They'd probably heard about my reputation mind.
-
Me too. Give me pound notes over any other sort of payment and I'm most happy, everyone paying by phone, I ask ya.
-
Am I the only one who doesn't understand this?
-
Right, that's me, I'm off down to the local pub for lunch.
-
Yes it is trying to get back to work mode. I hate working, not the job I do, just the fact that I have to do it. I've much better things to do with my time, I'm sure it isn't going to change any time soon though.
-
Had a ring around this morning and got some bits to do next week and the week after that, beyond that?,. I'm a bit infront ATM due to having a decent run of work before Christmas so I'm not overly bothered. How's your new working year started?
-
95 in a 50 is pushing, I bet they were old sphincters though.
-
I would try not to worry, (I'm a fine one to say that). Again I don't know how it works in Scotland but down here 20 year old convictions really wouldn't be taken into account.
-
Don't know about Scotland but you wouldn't get a straight ban for 72 in a fifty in England unless you've a load of points already, or only recently passed your test. Kicking size fine and 6 points I'd guess.

Complaint about my Wood Burner
eggsarascal replied to Danny Boy's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
The one working for me at the moment is a gentleman, if he gets it wrong he'll be some other name. -
Have you been investigated by HMRC, I've never.
-
Got a call from an old workmate this morning to wish me a happy new year, he must be mid Seventies, but as mad as a balloon. A Gentleman, not many of them left now.
-
Correct. And don't change your avatar, it throws my balance.
-
you know me mate, I try my best to be polite.
-
I don't want to get off on the wrong footing for the new year but, why won't my iPad condense the page any more?

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
eggsarascal replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
It's a fair cop, it got left behind when Karen and I split up. If you want it replacing I'll get a new copy. -
When you're not in one, you're in the other.
-
I very nearly got turned over on WoodLots, fortunately I had found his address. He was a member here a long time back. Be careful how and who you deal with on there.
-
It'll be right, hitch it up.
