Though I have memories of England losing to West Germany in the quarter finals of the ‘70 WC The first game I remember really clearly was England’s World Cup qualifier against the Poles in ‘73. To use an old football cliche, it’s deja vu all over again.

Well, you put your money where your mouth is, can’t argue with that.
-
I guess, on reflection, it might be because I exude an aura of “don’t come near me or talk to me, I’m busy you bastards”
-
It’s mostly in my head anyway.

I’ve nothing against the “while you’re here brigade” I hate it when they wait till I’m not there to ask for extras from the others.

Not their job Stubs. They are in an awkward situation, today was a case in point. I sent the hired man off to grind a lime stump while I went off for some emergency chipper repair. The deal was fell the stick, roll it out the way, grind the stump. The client got him to ring it up and halve the rings, difficult for him to argue.

When you’re not on the job and the client wangles extras out of the lad(s) who can’t say no or negotiate extra money.

For that money you could have a half decent s/h 6” towbehind, a quad to pull it and enough left to pay for surgery to repair the splits in your sides laughing at anyone who pays 19k for that.

Piece of crap.

2 or 3 nil to England.

Maritime pine? -
I used farmers when I was in the UK, but as Bob says they need to be treated right. The most recent one sold firewood so he got he got all that, chip to the power stations, so that worked out well. At any moment the situation can change, burning of rubbish was getting more problematic by the time I left (2005) One problem I had was one of the lads arriving late and speeding through the farm yard, sending the farmer (who had young children) mental.

stump killer Whats the flavor of the month for stump killer?

I thought the glyphosate based ‘ecoplugs’ were de rigueur at the moment. -
Go to the search function and put in ‘training’ you will find a myriad of threads for people in your boots. Good luck.

What for? You’re not wearing them to the disco.

I know, he’s a completely irony free zone.

How many hours do you put into your business?
Mick Dempsey replied to Stefan Palokangas's topic in General chat
He has been posting this sort of stuff for years. Telling us how he was going to sell his house to buy a big cherry picker take over the world etc. He received some good advice re. pricing etc. Turned out he bottled that and carried on twiddling levers When it was just a post as part of a thread he was mostly ignored or laughed at. His original post on this thread was boasting, and changing the thread title from “how to grow your business” to “how many hours do you work?” Doesn’t change that. -
The owners of the tree are a firm of solicitors, according to the article. Which will be handy.

Maybe Ronaldo’s performance will start a kind of arms race, inspiring Messi to great deeds, like they do in La Liga. 4 games today, this could be a punishing month for marital harmony.

Maybe have a shot at the Euros, who knows?
