    ArbDogs? Pics!

    SteveA replied to Burnham's topic in The Lounge

    That's a lovely looking pup you got there.

    That's great footage. Love the lens flare as the rising sun tracks behind the castle. Tiz a funny thing with insurance because by time they got permission to go ahead with the works the castle probably would have already fallen.... and at what cost would that be?! Good share. cheers, steve

    Hey Kevin, now you just need to wait for them not to respond, or wait for them to respond but not log it on their system putting you back to square one. You also need to wait for them to instruct the bailiffs to start threatening you, etc, etc. cheers, steve

    Good to hear Tuffty has found a nice home. Has anyone tried carving roadkill versions of these animals?.... or birds of prey sliced in half by wind turbines? Although not sure there's much of a market for them.... then again, there maybe plenty of weird customers on eBay that would pay a handsome price. cheers, Steve

    Love it! He, or she? doesn't look very happy.... looks decidedly miserable! Has he/she just witnessed a friend or family member being squished by passing traffic? cheers, Steve

    "Otherwise". *dammit* couldn't resist.

    I'd like to add a slice of humble pie into this thread by saying "I agree with all of you". If anyone else wants a slice of my humble pie.... no way, it's mine, all mine. cheers, steve

    I've been watching Building Alaska.... interesting program but a lot of it looks like a bodge job, especially when it comes to the more detailed parts. Also looks like they don't need to build to any regulations. cheers, steve

    Yeah, such a kind and considerate thing to do

    You had an apology AND a payment in consideration?!!!! Did I just read that right??? Didn't know you could make a claim. cheers, steve
  14. SteveA
    Madness, I have two solutions.... a) get the hedge Grade 1 listed b) put up "No Access for Fat People" signs cheers, steve
  15. SteveA
    Wow! At least you actually got an apology! They must like you....

    p.s.... have you tried getting through on their telephone scam hotline lately?!!.... at least 65 million phone calls per annum with many on hold for at least 30 minutes, some for over an hour. It's a massive money spinner.

    If you've done nowt wrong then you've done nowt wrong. It really is as simple as that. Our recent problem was (according to HMRC) a late filing penalty for a partnership return. We refused to pay the fine because it was entirely due their own administration errors.... so the threatening letters commenced and promptly escalated to many thousands of £'s!!.... and then the debt collection agency (instructed by HMRC) were threatening us, phoning us, etc. So of course.... the debt was written off by HMRC and admitted it was their fault.... but no apology.... and because they are so rubbish at communication and basic admin the threatening letters, etc continued. What a joke!! Sorry, ranting!... cheers, steve

    Absolutely. Ours went in under 'professional costs'... claimed 100% of it. cheers, steve
  19. SteveA
    Blimey, that really is early, isn't it? cheers, steve

    I don't have enough swear words to express my thoughts of HMRC.... they are totally unfit for purpose, especially in terms of communication (or lack of). My thoughts are that if the training is related to your business then claim 100% of it. cheers, steve

    Did he show you how to start a saw like a yo-yo?.... the sign of a true professional! (just kidding).

    Good man. After the initial start and topping up levels (oil & water), removing air locks, squeezing pipes, etc I run an engine until the cooling fan cuts in and out (pick the revs up high / but not flat out revs).... if there's something wrong it's most likely to show itself at full heat & pressure. You probably already know that. cheers, steve

    When I worked in garages we used to use blue Hylomar, clean off the rust and pop a thin smear around the edge... Hylomar – Non-Setting Compounds cheers, steve
  24. SteveA
    Noticed lots of frog spawn in our pond and ditches today.... quite early I'd say. Anyone here noticed any spawn? cheers, steve
  25. SteveA
    Have you got all the gear they say you require for the course?.... eg; they'll probably stipulate wearing gloves with protection. cheers, steve
