  1. Probably not the right thread to put this in, but i got knocked for 21k in the spring, i did all the drainage on 15 new build houses, paid for all materials and labour and the main contractor wen't bust on me, so i know how hard this can hit a one man band. Let me add i had worked for this company on many jobs, so expected all to be ok.
  2. How far are you from York? i've also got to call in to a place near Doncaster on the way up, i think it's called Askern (Don't know if thats spelt right) if you are close enough i will call in, don't worry i will pay for the beer.
  3. Can't help me self mate, but it's like water off a ducks back. Me and the mrs are going up to York in a few weeks time, how far away are you? i know it will go against everything Yorkshire but if your not to far away maybe you could buy me a pint.

  11. Mark, i'm slightly confussed is this job a one and half job or not.
  12. Is that because you are so far away or is that the going rate for a job like this, i ask this because i want to get a fair idea of the price my mate should be paying.
  13. Could anyone help a friend of mine, he's over in australia at the moment and is renting his house out in england, and needs this branch cutting off a eucalyptus, not being an arb man myself, he has asked for an idea of what he should be being charged for the branch removal. As you can see its resting on the roof if the house, and risking tile damage. Sorry about pics, they were on a mobile and on a windy day.... Thanks, Egg.

  16. PGK, heres a story from my past told by someone you might have heard of, probably not as exciting as some of your tales but here goes. As you know i go by the name of Eggsarascal on here, but the nick name Egg comes from thirty years ago when i fractured my skull in a playground accident and was re-christened Egghead. ROBBIE Williams has lifted the lid on his life as a teenager growing up in the Potteries before he found fame and fortune with Take That. In three, 30-minute audio clips, the singer remembers the friends he hung around with when he was living with his mother Jan and sister Sally at their home in Greenbank Road, Tunstall. ​ SPOOKY: Church Lawton Hall, where a young Robbie and his mates tried to contact ghosts. Below, Shelleys nightclub. ​ ​ ​ ••••..The "Robcast" is available in full to fans who pay a £30 annual subscription to his official website. It concludes with a haunting tale about Robbie and his friends breaking into the boarded up Church Lawton Hall one night after leaving a pub in Trent Vale, near Trentham, to attempt to invoke ghostly spirits using a Ouija Board. Robbie says: "I found myself face down in mud, only to raise my head to realise I'm on top of someone's last resting place – and that someone died in the 17th century. "There it is, Church Lawton Hall, and movie perfect too. Mist had risen off the lake at the back and it had engulfed the whole building. You couldn't have picked a more paranormal setting. "Every step we made was like being in a Cliff Richard dry ice Top Of The Pops performance." Robbie's mum Jan said: "It's true what he says. I can remember him coming home – he was very scared." Robbie's first audio clip is introduced to the sounds of Dream Academy's Life In A Northern Town. The final instalment ends with Take That's Never Forget. He says: "I'm 16, living with my mum and sister in Greenbank Road, Tunstall. "Tension was abound, mum was about to find out I hadn't done as well as I had led her to believe (at school). "Things looked pretty bleak for me." Robbie, who at the time was known by friends as "Will", goes on to recount tales from his early life, including falling in with "the proverbial bad lot, a draw-smoking, non-job-bothering lot", taking LSD in Shelleys nightclub, a brief spell as a door-to-door salesman in Stoke-on-Trent and spending his first pay packet in Hanley on a pair of Versace jeans. Robbie also talks about auditioning and eventually winning a part in Take That, which meant he never needed to retake his GCSEs at Fenton Sixth Form College. He says: "I sang a Jason Donovan song and danced like MC Hammer. "Things like that (finding fame and fortune) don't happen to people from Stoke-on-Trent. In fact the only time I can remember us being on the TV is a brief mention in a Carpet Warehouse advert." Jan said: "The audition for Take That was in May in Manchester. I checked the place out before we went. "Coming home he was very excited about it, but we didn't hear anything for a long time. "In August he got his GCSE results. He was in the garden with his friends. When he saw me he came in and said, 'I've not done very well'. "I had a look and said, 'no you haven't'. "He went back into the garden, then the phone rang and it was (Take That manager) Nigel Martin Smith, to say that Robbie was in the band. He was over the moon. "From the disappointment in the morning, things turned out all right." During his Robcast, the singer mentions a number of friends who went with him to Church Lawton Hall, including Maffer, Egghead, Flick, Dave, Coco (Paul Colclough) and Drew (Munroe).
  17. Measure the size of the buck take away the size of the wheel arches then times the lenght by the width by the height off the side this will give you the volume of the buck. Only sell by volume as not to get in trouble with weights and measures.
