    That's some of the best brick and blockwork I've seen.

    They look like a couple of interesting characters those guys. Makes you wonder where the cash comes from to build something like that.

    LOL mate 2000 years of donations is where the money comes from. The Monks told me people die and leave everything they have to the church (Buying their stairway to heaven) they had 2 open days when I was there and people came from all over the world I saw one guy write out a $10,000.00 cheque

    I did my white card last month... you have to do a 1 day course and do an open book exam (15 questions from memory) at the end... can't remember how many you have to get right to pass.

    Point is.... didn't learn a thing... i guess i understand commonsense, but a few there were struggling

    Simmo.

    Yep Raining here mate

    Simmo changed a bit didnt have to pass when I did it just had to be there and pay but it was all just common sense stuff.

    I had an argument once with an OH&S guy on a site who puled us all in the shed because we didn't have safety glasses on. My argument was they fog up he said his didnt but when I explained we are hot from working and the weather is cold causing them to fog up and I asked for him to put it in writing so if someone fell off a scaffold cz they couldnt see I had someone to sue he said he would get back to me but never saw him again. He was a pimple faced kid that only had what he had learnt in theory and had no experience outside that.
