  1. Wordpress seems more like a blog than a website
  2. I'm the same rate regardless of what day it is I just thought I would add another dimension to the thread.
  3. What about weekend work if required? Shelf stackers are probably time and half do we stay at the same rate?
  4. One of my favourites for core is when flat bench pressing or flying bring your legs together and horizontal with your body then raise them 6inch ish then carry out your set/s
  5. Not a fan of planking it can cause unnecessary damage to cartilage between rib and breast if done poorly and also I think it exerts too much pressure on your spine cartilage and discs. When tiring or with poor form you start to sag and pinch a lot of areas on your spine. Not for me but I agree core training can unlock huge gains especially towards balance and strength.
  6. Yes I was just interested in if you priced yourselves per job role or priced on how you value your time i.e. I'm £xyz per day end of.
  7. Just a quick Q, when subbing do you charge different rates if you are grounding, climbing or cutting etc?
  8. I don't employ my wife she works PT and looks after the little 'un BUT surely it's better to employ OH than have them on benefits? ..............
  9. Which path did you walk Silks?
  10. I think you need to keep the faith not every egg is bad!
  11. That's the kind of thing I was getting at but did think it would be illegal to search in such a way however surely during interview process you could still land on such life criteria ..... Is it immoral to do so in your opinion? It really is a mine field!!
  12. It's always an interesting topic this. Do people feel there are a better age range and sets of circumstances to aim for when employing than others I.e 17-25 26-35 36-45 45- Single Married Homeowner Live with parents Kids No kids etc etc We all employ on what we feel is job suitability rather than overall picture, not sure if what I have suggested is legal to do or not but surely 30 year old married with kids and house will give more than a 23 year old single living with parents (not in every instance granted). There maybe better combinations of the ranges given is there any substance to my thoughts or is it a load of rubbish? We all know good workers what are there circumstances? Lastly I have posted this for healthy debate not to be abused or attacked I don't know the answers or if there is a correct one.
  13. I have enough work and get enough work without the need to sign write a van that's all. The vans use is rather an irrelevant comment.
  14. I point them towards who I am working with. I say with as S/E is pretty self explanatory. What I do and the practices I use work for me and the few I subby for when needed and that's the most important thing.
  15. I think Reg will do ok with or without the logo'd shirt it is each to there own I have discreet tops and jacket as said deductible as a uniform for me I force them on no one equally when a few ask me to subby for them I still wear my own I represent myself at all times I wouldn't expect anyone to wear mine nor do I ask them too. I'm with skyhuck on the van mine is blank.
  16. Personally wear my own branded clothing. It does look professional and it is a uniform of sorts I understand some of his points but each to there own. On a side note most customers/clients don't know who's who in this game so 1st impressions count, you can't change them I don't want to come across a scruffy bar steward so I choose branding it's only discreet mind but still doesn't cost a lot either.
  17. If you turn the stress off does it work?
  18. Turn your stress off, do the rollers speed up. Do you have the safety switches on the side on your model?
  19. Ignore my post, thought you was changing the whole back☺️
  20. If you have a tipper van there should be 2 connection points at the back and 1 on the ram undo them and your back will lift off if your new back has different fittings or no fittings cut them off your old back and get a welder to engineer them on your new backs.
  21. Most of the migrants we are taking are not escaping the hell that is the Syrian war! Also how many safe countries are between Syria and the UK?! They are safe in Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany etc etc there is only one reason they seek the UK as there final destination, HANDOUTS. Did it not strike anyone as bizarre last summer that it was all men walking down the railways towards the UK??? Surely these men should be fighting said war and sending the women and children?
  22. I'm pretty much of the same opinion! Mass immigration is not working especially 3rd world immigration as matelot is keen to keep highlighting. Controlled immigration using a points system with no benefits until x amount of years paying into our system should work going forward but like you say it's reversing who's here that is the hard part!
  23. Metrac's are great for bankings as you crab across. Excellent bits of kit with multi uses.
  24. Best post you have offered us yet! At least you have tried to answer the issue at hand this time without ripping other people's thoughts to shreds. Just like the politicians however you also don't have the answers.
  25. Japan and South America had poor economies when mass migration began also English is pretty much the adopted language of the world, not many muslims where interested in learning those languages at the time. We had an NHS they could use if so needed Japan and South America didn't and don't. Remember matelot mass migration started out in search of a better life and after paying smugglers these people didn't have a pot to piss in so the healthcare was a big draw, still is. Am I remembering correctly that you and your family where immigrants at 1 time? Didn't you say you had to move back or am I making that up? Can't remember if so do you resent that?! You are part right in your views that integration is not working and most extremists these days are muslims however surely we can find a fix rather than banish all. Serious question matelot how would you tackle the issue at hand? Please take your time and answer honestly rather than rubbishing other people views and answering with questions.
