    I once found a really good shifter lying in the grass at one of the commercial jobs that I do, so it ended it up in my tool box ......well I mean it was just lying there I assumed that they didn't want it any more. Better than me hitting it with the mower eh ? It's in a safe place now.

    Fleas who either have not an ounce of self expression or are too lazy to actually write their own web page content and pinch mine. And what makes it worse it appears this one may be a member of this forum if the Indy logo on his page is correct. And people wonder why I don't say much on here about webpages and SEO. From now on it is going to be nothing. Lets see if he has the guts to respond to my phone call.
    Cheers

    Gawd Bluey, another one!! So frustrating and annoying.

    Disappointing if they're an Indy as well.

    It is more annoying for the fact that it is not too hard to do some original content and if they had half a brain they would know that Google does not like this type of stuff and will rate the site that mimicks another poorly. Google loves originality not copy cats. But I guess the fact that they are copying the idea and general layout of my site is pointing to the fact they think it is pretty good.

    Well the owner of the page has rung me and we had a chat. Turns out his 16 yr old IT wiz nephew built the page. Nephew needs to understand copyright better. All sorted and we had a bit of a chat about business in the end. The other problem is now I have been alerted by another Indy member of another page with this time word for word verbatim off my site. Also an Indy member it would seem seeing as how his site actully copies the link and wording directly from mine.

    Cmon people. Make your own bloody content for gods sake.

    Ay Bluey old mate !!! - wots this about poaching a blokes name ???? 'ey then ??

    And why is it that when it starts raining and you think "nah, it'll pass, I'll keep working" it just keeps getting heavier.
    So you end up drenched to the skin after 4 hours in the rain with the socks floating in your boots and rain running down the builders cleavage - so you decide to call it quits for the day. And by the time you get home 5 minutes later the rain stops and the missus looks at you like a wuss.?

    Tell me - WHY???
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
    Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.
