  1. its big country with a lot to see, he needs to be a little more specific about the area and time off year, almost like a "how long is a bit of string " question

     

    Just a little more specific. Any advise from locals that can honestly opine about the best time of year in order to see and do things. Stay would be up to Two weeks. Transportation is no barrier in order to see and do things.

    Housing can vary from B/b to Hotels. Both parties physically fit, no restrictions.

  2. You could learn on your own, however I believe that would be to expensive and dangerous. There must be some form of vocational training available in your country?

    Find out where and learn from professionals. Welding is fun and can also be very rewarding, if you know the basics. Practice improves skill level and desire to improve ones work, like anything else.

    Understood, there were a couple of dozen members that could not attend for one reason or another. Next go around will have that name tag ready to go.

  5. hi

    I recently broke my hip in a car accident and was wondering what injury insurance/protected income people have and the cover they get with it and if it covers them for extreme sports .im lucky enough to be employed but still would be nice to have some cover god forbid anything ever happens like this again.

    thanks

    Scott, you can Google insurance carriers, however I believe that if your planning on continuing to involve yourself in extreme sports, you will need to be willing to pay through the nose in order to secure coverage. If your not honest about the last part and have a claim, don't be shocked when said claim is denied.

  6. Good to meet you Ted, even if you have left me emotionally scared buy loosing my name badge.

  7. Nice to see you again. Thank you for putting the effort into the name tags and raffle.

     

    My pleasure Graham. So nice to see the whole family make this really big event.

    Good to know that even your oldest son with maybe a 28" waist not only tried the ELH, but he could appreciate the obvious advantages of using it as opposed to working without.

    All the best

  8. Well after my safe return trip and successful show I want to thank all members and visitors to my demo area at this year's APF show. I especially want to thank my Distributor FR Jones & Son for all of their assistance.

    My deepest condolences to the family of the show official who lost his life

    at this event. For the first time matching name tags to the faces of AT members was also a success. Below are several pictures from the show--enjoy.

    Best regards

  9. I heard a funny one on the radio yesterday about the EU now willing to pay citizens and or people living in Turkey to stay there instead of moving into EU countries. One more gleaming example of the utter stupidity on the part of the EU and the wise decision on the part of the UK to get off the sinking ship, AKA the eu.

  10. What's funny is the fact that the carpet bagger was not in control and the moderator was about as fair as possible. That said Trump did well in spite of what the media depicts especially since the same media is completely controlled by the Jack Ass party.

    That go's for any polls as well. Round 2 coming up next. I hope the carpet bagger meets her political and financial end soon.

  11. Trump cleaned the carpet baggers bag. As long as he stays on point the election will still be his to win. The media will have its spin masters and mistresses working over time to put the best face on the carpet bagger, even with plastic work and make up a true challenge.

  12. Hey folks I contacted a few accountants at the end of March regarding setting up as a sole trader. Found an accountant that was pretty decent, not too lax and not too strict regarding what can go down as business related overheads. In early April I got an email from him to say I was registered with HMRC (personal tax number or something). Anyway that's the last I heard from him and I don't know a thing about what records to keep, what i'll be taxed on, what I won't be taxed on etc. I keep a diary with a record of what I earn and what I've had to pay out for, materials, tools, fuel etc. I want to create something on the laptop to have a digital copy which I can update every week. How does everyone else keep their records and if digital, what software do you use?

     

    Presumably since your accountant has legally registered your company or self with your countries taxing authority maybe you could just send him an email or phone call and ask him for suggestions or opinions about other suggestions already made by members on AT?

  13. It's alright do not get confused. Try to apply for business loan. Visit this site.

     

    With only 4 post and no information about yourself or who you work for, I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt. Only a fool or want a be fool would click on a link without a further explanation or actual experience. I hope your offer to help is legitimate. If it is, great. If not I hope the mods show you the door sooner than later.

  14. Have a meeting with the boss or owner and explain the situation. If your taken seriously the next conversation will be with all three parties. If the first meeting does not take place either because your to cautious or green than give your two week notice and find another job where your abilities will be better appreciated. Either way until you have more experience under your belt or a crew leader that cares your pretty much in a holding pattern until you make your move.
