  1. Whatever you do don't click on the link:thumbdown: ..................sorry couldn't resist it
  2. I like and hate films like this- touching the void was the most memorable film I have ever seen- brilliant.
  3. Fair play to you for asking on here- not really cheating- just using your brain Google would probably give you any number of answers
  4. Get a tesco one- you get clubcard points and they are vehicle specific and you can follow them on t'internet- fuelgenie they is called Pay no deposit- pay off by dd on a fixed date-you can put a max in place
  5. You pay the vat rate applicable on the date of the invoice So 20% I believe you could beat the system by invoicing before jan 4th for works that hadn't yet taken place- whether that is borderline unlawful i'm not so sure
  6. Naa he's way over the top and to be honest I am not even in the business:confused1:
  7. Funnily enough mine has gone down and with a what they call a guaranteed ncd which means we can have as many accidents as we like and still keep our ncd amazing running a 170bhp car at £300 per annum comp guaranteed ncd I'm going racing:thumbup:
  8. Just great to get other perspectives on this business- some contrary but some similar- all good for helping me get my head round the day. Most on here appear to be a good bunch with no real winding up issues leading to forum disagreements- I like that- Maybe though I should have chosen a more friendly name- Likeitorlump it was just a spur of the moment thing- not my real attitude at all-unless provoked of course.
  9. personally I think it would have looked better growing backwards as it were out of a slope. The wooden prop/log looks wrong- but that might just be the angle you took it from- still a good idea for a waste product:thumbup1:
  10. 70 euros- thats about £50 isn't it Mind you i've employed guys with cs39 who hadn't got a clue- no seriously- not a clue- I overpaid them but then again only did it once:thumbup1:
  11. we it was the eldests 8,th b/day .what an eventfull day shes had ,had the choice been with her famliy fir the day or going to the pics & dinner with a some school chumes ,opted for pictures got back @ 2pm, so we then went bowling for 2hrs & pizza hut for tea & i got beaten by a 4yr old obviously you need to use that rolling guide thinggy:001_smile:
  12. the whole thing doesn't really surprise me. Always cover yourself and then when you finally get a good 'un let him/her know they are appreciated- thats what good employees like. A bit of appreciation- not necessarily money- just saying thanks at the end of the day. I agree about the - sticking to the work times regardless, even if the last hour is spent sweeping out the store/going through the tool boxes. Otherwise you end up with competitive ending early from your teams.
  13. I wish peeps would stop misunderstanding each other on forums:001_tt2:
  14. Thats an idea use it to tie down loads Never used it to pull down trees though- Hmm'... must try it
  15. thats £50 per cube Isn't that a bit high
  16. Very astute- that was my thinking also this is 2 hard winters so far- will there be a third?
  17. pendulum islands part 2 does it for me
  18. Degrees have lost their cachet But I would have thought do a bit of manual with a firm to get experience and then do the academic and you will appreciate it better
  19. Just thinking about the new year and a period that is sometimes slack for us I have seen a small parcel of land with copice hazel on it which is offered for the wood I am thinking of felling/ storing till next year on site/ then selling as firewood preferably in the pre Xmas period. Any ideas would be welcome for example- I'm not sure what price to offer per acre I suspect this would depend on accessibility- but I don't want to offer too high and find the project loses money as I would like to make this an annual winter event. Also- are there any environmental considerations when undertaking this sort of work or anything I should take into account- Your thoughts/advice would be appreciated
  20. I agree But stop calling me shirley HA
  21. I like that May the best of your past be the worst of your future I'll have to remember it
  22. I know- thats why I'm looking at an ugly pile of knobbly cherry unions I do though prefer to see a pile of rounds- easy on the hand and the eye- would be a nightmare to get and sell just this though
  23. not sure what that means- can you elaborate?
  24. You can't have it all ways Anything you sell at 20% VAT is money in the bank for up to 4 months Provided they are quick paying customers
  25. apparently if carrying anything you have produced yourself you don't need a carriers licence though I do just in case I meet an uninformed enviro cleric
