    You're going to have to come up with a better name than that, unless your your planning on also driving a old french bread van. Petzl & Peds travelling store ?. With a chainsaw based ice cream van tune ?, why is this starting to feel like a child catcher for climbers and their precious.

    But they're a full on Stihl/husqvarna dealer with a turnover in the several millions.
  3. GarethM
    A decent Kramp setup would probably earn them a better regular return, especially if they're already doing chainsaw stuff

    Or open a concession if you believe there's a market

    It's not a phobia of spoiling my dashing youthful good looks either, nor do I feel physically sick around bearded people in some mock repulsion. I just see it as a basic to going outside, be that on my own or around others. Half the time I think people hate shaving due to Gillette and it's Mach 5 rollocks, my shaving outlay a year is about £10 including the soap. Neither, I don't do aftershave. I have said to girlfriends, I smell of diesel, red diesel occasionally.

    Whilst I'll say you do you regarding facial hair. Personally, I would consign it to room 101 and then burn down the building just to be sure. Clean shaven every morning, old school shaving with brush/soap and a DE blade, my grandfather taught me well.

    Does everything require some in-depth explanation ?. The simple fact is your brought up with boundaries and things like leaving the house clean shaven and not stinking like a hobo every morning is something of a basic in modern society. Trying to summise I got a slap and it's somehow affected/effected how I turn out is a bit of a big leap. I'm a relatively normal human being, despite the commentators lauding the downfall of civilization through TV,video games, films and music I seem to have turned out without a criminal record or such.

    Auww youngstu, which one of those many words triggered you to run to your safe space. I bet it was the having a shave and not smelling like a hobo wasn't it?

    An iPad with maybe a discount code, so you don't have to carry stock and have every tart in the county fondling the gear and going off to Amazon.

    But maybe leave it in the local park as it's probably being used for eco piles.

    Might also be a good idea to brake clean/acetone the oil away. It's a mower deck so probably saturated from it's years of hard work 🙂

    I'm sure that sarcasm just flew right over your perfectly quaffed blue hair. It's called common decency, you don't walk around in BDSM gear or go to the supermarket wearing your tighty whities like a pedeo down the lido. At home/nudist colony or those weird sex fetishism clubs you frequent, that's fine. Maybe they lacked a few slaps as a child, but it's that upbringing that means a shave in the morning and at the very least not smelling like a hobo.

    And probably a bit more flappy disc prep as that rust won't be helping.

    I did not have sexual relations with that women, sir that's your wife. Wtf else did you think I was talking about!.
  15. GarethM
    I'm sure when you're down the pub it's a full collection of extreme BDSM wear because it's harming nobody.

    Try arguing spouse tax relief

    So if it/he/she meets a mirror image and starts cheating with it/she/he that's going to be one very messy divorce getting 50% of everything. Did you consummate the marriage, yes but it/he also slept with the bridesmaid/bestman whatever.

    He's not saying to remove it, once you've cut a thread into it and undone it. The locking effect of the nylon is in effect used up and just becomes a nut.

    £1.90 each of Amazon, not sure what they robbed if off at the price!.

    Yeap, we've all had bosses like him. Most of us choose to leave eventually and vow never again to work for such people, whilst business is somewhat about being hard nosed it's also about taking it on the chin and saying I'd rather be forgotten & ignored than despised/hated and badmouthed to everyone.
  21. GarethM
    I hope you're "Slaves" and the non existent HR department read this, but they probably already know your a big petty C and find it hard to find staff. If they pay for as copy they can do with it as THEY feel fit, and yes that includes copying for a new employer as it's theirs not yours and in THEIR name.
  22. GarethM
    Me thinks it might be a bit more involved that making moonshine in your potting shed.

    Egg price went up by £2 a tray since COVID only because wheat price 2 years ago. But unsurprisingly the eggs price hasn't come down, and yes I buy a full tray every 2 weeks from the butchers.

    So explain to me the difference when you say "I simply hold it", that's effectively blackmail pure and simple!. You can't hold their certificate regardless of when and on who's time it was done, you can have a copy for your training records as that's the same for any employer who pays accordingly for skill level and for professional development and insurance purposes. No they are working for you, on your job site, same reason why they get paid, poorly I can probably guess and you'll probably charge bed and board whilst they're locked in the garden shed you call their digs. So if I got a certificate and I said stuff it and left, what would happen to my certificate?.
  25. GarethM
    I don't know the legal terms off hand but it's effectively the same thing, as you claimed to own the certificate so it's effectively blackmail/slavery/indebted servitude holding it ransom. Whilst you may have paid, same as the CSCS it's theirs as they they earned the qualifications not you. You're parents may have paid for your driving lessons and test, by your logic it's not yours it's your parents. Or how about explain to me they way you sell it to say an apprentice at yours ?.
