  1. Aluminum Axe?.. is that like a chocolate fireguard thing?..
  2. not really into science fiction but after looking at a review it looks like it might be a good read or audiobook..
  3. You've got what you should of asked for in the first place, if you'd of said 220 instead of doubling up you more than likely would of been paid on good terms.... in future open your mouth before you think to do any work on trust.. .
  4. You joking, I've more sense than leave a tree surgeon to chop a tree down and then let him tell me how much its gonna cost..
  5. Well whatever you think, the fella should of told his customer how much he wanted for the extra work before went ahead and did it.. its his own fault for being so daft.. If I'm not sure of how much to charge I just tell em we'll work it out afterwards and I'll be as reasonable as I can be... I take the chance that most people are decent and honest and will settle for what I end up charging them... Then again, by all accounts I'm pretty cheap on the whole... maybe thats why it works for me?..
  6. That conifer you chopped down, if he had ten of em in his garden would you price it at 1400 to remove em all?... I'm guessing you wouldn't.. why not, think about it then think why charging 140 for the next one you did might come across as excessive to your customer.. If you got 140 for the first one, you should of asked 70 to 80 for the second seeing as you're there on the job... and why didn't you mention a price to the fella?.. to busy counting your days profits when a few words on the phone might of saved you a lot of shit...
  7. We both could do a Stefan... one of us wouldn't be missed.. can you guess who that might be?..
  8. I changed my mind half way through...
  9. Thats really told me hasn't it!!!!....... I suppose I aught be annoyed, funnily enough no, not a bit of it... Plus, I've better things to do than bandy insults around to retards like you...
  10. Has Trump achieved anything on his trip?.. I usually follow news like this carefully, didn't bother with this one as I knew it would all be hot air at the end of the day... Up to now I hear Trump and Kim will carry on a dialogue going forward..... Trump reminds me of Tommy Robinson in some ways.. He wants to do something about a problem, but can't figure a way forward without tripping over himself doing it.. Like Tommy Robinson, Trump had better learn to take note of good advice going forward and attempt to understand why that advice is worth taking on board.. Going all the way out there to have a photo op isn't the best use of a Presidents time...
  11. What people don't seem to be getting is most people work to get enough to get by.. a small group of people on the spectrum work as long as they can.. a study of London taxi drivers discovered most worked until they reached their weekly needs then put the brakes on.. a very few worked all the hrs they could get in.. Stefan seems to be on the rare spectrum that makes him want to work all the hrs god sends.. it won't matter to Stefan if its stump grinding or running a big business.. he's genetically programmed to keep going.. on the plus side, these are the kind of people that do well in life if measured in financial terms.. its why I'm interested in following his progress. I expect him to do pretty well for himself if he sticks to the task at hand.. He might have just the one grinder for now as he bears down on his debts, but believe me in five years time I expect him to have half a dozen.. and good luck to him if your asking me..
  12. I never liked ABBA but one of my friends loved em, at the time I thought he must be gay LOL's.. only later did I appreciate how good they really were.
  13. proper music.
  14. Well when both players and manager are up to the job you have to look elsewhere.. after doin some ruminating it dawned on me the players were more scarred of winning than losing.. thats been Englands problem for fifty odd years... let em play a crap side and they can run rings round em, put em up in a world cup semi and they crap themselves lest they might win the thing.. I became pretty good at the games psychology at one point.. Bolton were playing in a final to get into the premiership and were losing two nil, forget who they were playing, might of been fulham.. anyways they got a penalty and were ready to bury the match, I new if they missed Bolton would go on to win.. They took the penalty missed and Bolton went on to win.. as soon as they missed the penalty I told all who'd listen in the pub Bolton had just won it.. even in extra time people were asking me if I still felt that way.. just hang on a minute more and you'll see.. Bolton scored in the last couple of minutes of extra time... if memory serves..
  15. Stopped watching years back just after Rooney was selected.. new if he was put in with the rest of the old guard he'd be just as useless as they were in time.. they needed a new crop with a brand new talisman.. none of em more scarred of winning than they were of losing.. Previously to that I have a faint memory of Keegan playing, by the time Gascoin was in I was hooked, it went downhill when I began to understand the psychology of the game.. The Brazilians laughing at David Beckam as they went out at half time..he couldn't understand why they did that.. round about that time I knew these players were just too thick to ever win anything... dumb as rocks.. anyway gave up watching soon after, if you think I'm gonna get worked up only for that shower to disappoint one more time you can stuff it.... No, I wont be watching any of the games, I'm done with the game.... Oh I was good player in my youth, I fancied myself as the new Frank Worthington.. good on the ball, good passer but to greedy for my own good.. when I had the ball I tended to keep it to show everyone how good I was.. got to were I was generally picked last in a lineup with my friends, the rotten bastards..
  16. Yea, its a pity the thieving scumbags put everyone on edge..
  17. pity people are so cynical as I like to gander at photo's of peoples set ups myself... anyways there is a thread that I visit here an there.. forget the name but a few folks have over the years posted up their set ups... makes for a good read as well..
  18. I don't like that text comin and goin at all.. get rid of it or keep it up all the time.. I might suggest moving the woman's pic off the front page as it comes across as facebooky.. put her mug on another page... other that that, thats a good job, nice colour scheme for a girly business..
  19. pissing down at the minute... thank god, sick of the sun.
  20. I wish you'd do a silky fox sort of thread.. a pic here an there of what your up to.. shouldn't take more than a minute every few days.. people are rootin for you to succeed in what you do, least ways I am..
  21. I only use the computer.. and I wont be migrating to a phone.. I can hardly see the numbers never mind be able to type replies on there..
  22. Yea course they are, I mean you think it it must be true.... see, when my internet goes down and I have no way to get on here, I do notice people begin to wonder where I'm at.... perhaps, perhaps some people miss my contribution here an there.. only be a guess mind but still... I do notice and I do wonder.
  23. and he'd already bored bored twice as many people as me haha....... must try harder.
  24. Awe, feel your missing out Felix?.....
