  1. That CTE230 looks like brilliant tool.
  2. Rotten run of luck, glad the kiddo is ok. (and everyone else of course)
  3. Not a twist I foresaw, but I’ll run with it.
  4. He’s dead Stubs, no happy ending. An ignominious end to a life that started so well but a series of poor choices (he bought a Forst) led to a sordid death in a shabby hostel. Happily the wife is a bit of a sort and found love with a Warrington bus driver. Life finds a way.
  5. Britain chose poorly
  6. Rishi and Javid. 48 hours I reckon.
  7. I had similar with a chipper. Yes you have to charge VAT, you’re a VAT registered company and you must charge VAT on your goods and services. If I’m wrong, fair enough.
  8. Could be right. We will see I guess. I was here in France for the financial crisis of 2008/9. It was no picnic. I don’t see many firms going bankrupt, most just sell off their equipment, pay off their loans, get a job in the pub to tide them over, get caught spit roasting the pub landlady with a mate in the car park on a cocaine bender, divorce the wife who turns the kids against him, then dies choking on his own vomit in a single mens refuge. A tale as old as time.
  9. Good luck for the future Jack, exciting times ahead. Its aerial btw.
  10. Allez oup! IMG_2234.MOV
  11. Yes thanks, we know that Werner von Braun.
  12. In many ways I don’t mind JV. Sometimes I listen and I think ‘how can you be so naive?’ I remember him being astonished that lorry drivers piss in bottles and chuck it out the window. That people can drink as much as a bottle of wine a night. That anyone would drive over a hundred miles an hour just because they wanted to. He is the living embodiment of the metropolitan elite.
  13. Mark and Lard were good. They suffered when they were put on the breakfast slot. Didn’t suit their style.
  14. I only tried the app once, didn’t see the point, but I’m a bit of a stick in the mud. Well done on the changes Steve, smooth transition, looks good.
  15. I’m not getting the jobs I would normally expect to breeze. You’re not alone.
  16. It’s difficult to apply real metrics to quote conversion. I went to look at a job today, few branches off a cherry, bit off a horse chestnut overhanging a neighbour, bit of this, bit of that, awkward drag out of a garden etc. Quoted a price, they shit themselves, far too pricey, fair enough. Some guy with a ladder, Makita and a trailer behind a Kangoo could do it half my price. I’m geared up for bigger work, removals and all that. Question is how many jobs that I’m really in the mix for do I get?
  17. At the moment that tree will have zero impact on your house.
  18. Reversing cameras are the dogs danglies though.
  19. My new truck has so many warning bleeps and stuff, I find myself getting out and it starts going on cos I didn’t put it in park or have the key in my pocket or the door isn’t shut or something and I end up shouting at it ‘what do you want this time?’
  20. Both are good, the shorter version is better though IMO.
  21. I think the trait of not announcing songs as much ‘this is…’ ‘that was…’ is because with digital it’s written on the screen so it’s a bit superfluous to keep saying it.
  22. Yes I knew that.
  23. Yep, I recommend it. Doesn’t get the love and care of the other machines, but never lets me down.
