    It's probably pronunciation that's the problem.

    I wonder what the MSDS sheet says for it's ingredients.

    Might be worth getting a solicitor type to write a worded letter saying effectively that. You could argue that it's not been DNA typed from the roots etc, but in a neighbourly fashion I would be reluctant but amenable to them having the tree removed to your satisfaction providing they covered all costs of felling, removal and stump grinding to ensure it's entirely dead and poses no risk of regrowth 🙂.

    Let them pay for removal, then sit back and watch the cracks continue to grow from their trees.

    There's a phrase, ignorance is not a legal defense. Hence, you're dead, they knew and they're deemed at fault and or equally responsible because they could have done something. I'm sure a better legal eagle can explain it better than me. Think there is a legal way of agreeing to bring your own but that's probably a minefield in itself. Lone working is a different matter tho, as that's my health and my safety, so jog on 🙂.

    Think you can do it with just tap water but rainwater is also RO/DI purity. It's one of the reasons they recommend not drinking it exclusively due to a lack of minerals and such.

    Anyone that says insurance isn't worth the paper it's written on, probably doesn't have it. Whilst I do agree to the sentiment, the HSE and police will not look favourably upon corporate manslaughter and a whole list of other charges they will throw your way.

    I suppose that's more useful than the 3 seashells 😉

    But is it as unique as a snowflake?.

    Oil it and leave it, nothing worse than working on a varnished desk, slippy sliding and like your in an episode of Grange Hill. Just keep it thick enough that you can refinish it if damaged by the kids for example.

    Personally I would guess chain tension is too tight, especially with the description of pushing a chain around. Unless it's 18+ it should almost move in a light breeze.

    I so want to do a 70s esk Chinese impression by changing the Mickey mouse pronunciation to Herro I'm Ricky Mouse.

    Didn't he say he built it from a box, I'd say the guarantee is about as good as a chocolate teapot. Even more so if it's his 2nd.

    Why not tell us what it is!.

    Shot bearing would be my 1st guess.

    I don't think anyone would care in particular, but it always to have a rapport with wherever you're training. Obviously it's a business like any other, it sometimes helps things move smoothly 🙂.

    Erm, is Megan sending you out day labouring?. Anywho, personally I'd bite the bullet and pay the extra. Looks better to keep it all in one spot, even with a night or two in cheap digs 🙂.

    Sadly the world can't all be in management positions. There are also plenty of those that just can't do much better than minimum wage.

    What are you trying to prove, self employed=no overtime, it's just time. Those on low pay do rely on it tho, especially when it comes to paying for holidays or Christmas etc.

    I'm not sure about their tax system, i.was under the assumption most people had to submit their own tax thing in the USA every year, as they don't have a simplistic PAYE. Sure it's the no taxation without representation argument. The IRS already has all your income tax data – so why do Americans still have to file their taxes? THECONVERSATION.COM A tax expert explains why the US continues to use such a complex and costly income tax system.

    It was best described as a country founded by Protestant or Quaker Christians types in a documentary. If you're not working, sleeping or praying you'll burn in hell. It's an engrained mindset that generally those who do well career wise have taught out of them, as a country they lack our history and reason for having so many bank holidays.

    It's an easy fix to put more money into people's pockets if they aren't taxed over time and doesn't impact businesses. You will never change for example the number of bank holidays, you've 300million people to convince, look at the argument for a NHS they had in the 70/80s. They just claimed it was all communist, similar arguments around the whole IRS instead of a simplistic HMRC PAYE system. The holiday thing is mostly the poor, those in middle class and higher government jobs take holidays and those are the ones who go abroad. Those that are poor are almost stigmatized for taking them.
  24. GarethM
    Reality is Trump can't change the holiday mentality, it's hundreds of years of built into the system stupidity. The low cost solution by reducing tax on overtime is an easy fix and hurts nobody.
  25. GarethM
    Go have a look at holiday entitlement over there, especially for the lower paid it's horrendous.
