  1. I would not have an anorak, a mechanic asked me would I pull a trailer with a vw golf, I of course answered no, Well he said an anorak is the same engine as a golf with two turbines, just wait another couple of years folk will be dying to get rid of them
  2. I would still have my husky 65, if it hadn't been nicked a fantastic running saw ticked over like a clock.
  3. I always insist on materials paid upfront
  4. Unless I'm mistaken, we all still need to eat and drink on a Sunday, I don't really care if I work a weekend for me if it's for my part time employer then I hate it, I enjoy getting g out to drive and listen to the football on the radio in the motor, And as mentioned more chance of catching people in.
  5. If it's any help to anyone alfie cheyne engineering (ace) is just down the road from me
  6. Paddy and Murphy are rummaging through a skip when paddy finds a mirror, he looks at it and says, Murph, I'm sure I know that person" His friend grabs it off him and says Paddy, you idiot of course you do, it's me"
  7. I have just ordered a 310 echo, looking forward to joining the many on here who say they are great little saws,
  8. Has anyone used this company before, I have a customer looking for this kind of treated posts, I have priced octopost supplier who is nearby me, does anyone have any idea if he delivers to north east Scotland and price and quality of timber.
  9. If I take more than 20 quid to hang a gate, the farmers will tell me two bits of wire are cheaper!
  10. The posts are going to be 3-4 inch rounds supplied by Coventry fencing, the last post and rAil I did the posts were real good bits of timber,
  11. Im thinking Labour price for 4 rails would be £5 per metre, that sounds about right Labour wise with chapper for posts, think I'll charge more for hanging gate though, maybe 50 quid plus the gate jewellery.
  12. Using round posts, the customer prefers them I actually prefer the look of them with round too. I will be driving posts in with a chapper, I have to say that it seems far more per metre than I thought, all the materials are being bought together with other fencing materials so would just be the Labour,
  13. A couple in Australia are taking part in a competition to win a all expenses paid trip to the gold coast, To win the prize they both have to give identical answers to three questions, the wife is at the radio station in a sound proof room. So the husband is asked " question. One, when is the last time you and your wife had sex? " em, I was this morning" Ok number 2, " how long did it last?" " oh that was around an hour" And finally, " where was It?" " oh well that's a bit embarrassing, em her mother is staying with us just now, so I don't know if I can say" You must answer all three to win. " oh, ok well it was on the kitchen table" So they get the wife out of the sound proof booth, and ask her the same question, "Qustion one, it was this morning" well done that's what your husband said. Question two , how long did it last" oh she says , ten minutes" well your man said an hour, but we'll take your answer as the right one and his as 10 mins" So question 3, Where was it, " oh I can't say, " well you have to , your husband answered" oh God, Alex, you didn't tell them did you" To win you must say, the dj says, " oh, well, ........... " up the arse!"
  14. I've suffered from this I likened it to running a race, and I'm catching up with the leader (depression) and just as I caught up it pulled away again, I'm determined not to let it beat me and when I finally get in front it takes all.my energy to stay in front, I can't ease up for a second or it will get ahead of me again. My doctor said it wad the most apt description of it he had ever heard and use that analogy to this day with other sufferers.
  15. If I charged tbat it would be a happy New year I usually take 20 quid to hang a gate, with the hooks on top of that
  16. Just looking for a rough guide on erecting a post and rail fence, four rails, posts at every 1.8 metres, with a wooden gate installed what kind of price should I be looking at per metre, it's for horsey folk, with a general rule of thumb add an extra zero for them!
  17. We haven't got snow yet but we up here get proper snow, we didn't have any last year so must be due some before too long.
  18. Sorry lads you don't know what proper snow is, yeah I watch the news and see the roads to black tracks yet, still causing chaos,
  19. Very frosty today, hardest frost of winter so far, but crisp and dry, nice to go about in.
  20. The same teacher asks the kids to come up with a sentence with the word contagious in it, Sarah, puts her hand up and says " miss, the is an Ebola outbreak in Africa and that is very contagious" very good says teacher who's next? Rebecca puts beforehand up and says "my brother has broken arm but i cant get it because it isn't contagious" again that's excellent, Then wee Johnny puts his hand up and the teacher thinks well surely I'm safe this time I'll chance it. "Ok Johnny, on you go. " well miss, our next door neighbour is painting his shed with a one inch paint brush, and my dad says that it will take the **** ages.
  21. If you send me your email I will email you the one I use when fencing for the Forestry commission if it's satisfactory for them then it should be fine for everyone
  22. Why wasn't Jesus born in Dundee? They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin!
  23. I've 14 days with the expectation of taking 30 days most of my customers are prompt, and repeat customers prompt payers receive prompt attention, I always say. I had a guy due me a four figure sum once went round past and he said he wasn't fit to pay it all so I took payment on the drip, I'm happy to do that as I may need the same myself someday,
  24. We had an old zetor at home, she was a beast brakes were terrible, the wiring, well let's just say I wouldn't like a Slovakian sparky in my house! All wires were white, with writing ok if you understand Slovakia n
  25. I've just finished reading whites New book, if he had the attitude of a winner, the dedication, the discipline, to add to his undeniable ability perhaps he could be revereered as a snooker legend.
