    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Not sure if im grumpy about this yet but got a call at 6 today asking to mow a property in blakes crossing SA, a young girl, looked it up on google and it looks like it might be a display home or homes, first thing she asked was what is my hourly rate, im quoting tomorrow but from the way it sounds i will be competing against other quotes, most people when i quote (99%) want the job done and make a time if their happy with the price, not just a quote and then ill ring you later. hmmmm....

    Give them a price to mow it then and then and a separate, higher price to mow later (because you have to use more fuel and time)

    Sorry Kev, missed this earlier. We lived next door to the local dealer for 14 years. It sucked. Gave up calling the cops. They came, they raided and the courts gave her a slap on the wrist and sent her on her merry way more times than I can count.

    We used to get strung out people looking for a fix getting the house numbers confused and knocking on our door all hours of the day and night. After the children were born we decided enough was enough, we didn't want our kids growing up around that seeing as now HER kids were taking over the family business. Sold up and moved to another neighbourhood.

    Give the police a try...you can do it via crime stoppers and not leave your name. But even if you do leave your name they won't tell the dealers who gave them the info.

    I used to live next door to a smack dealer. They were good enough to do the deals on foot around the corner so noise was never an issue. I didnt mind at all really, they never called the cops when I had a party or played loud music which was pretty much all weekend. It was interesting watching the couple of raids on there house though!

    Yeah, i can't see them proving intent to sell, so he'll be fined for possession. Probably forced into rehab, which in my opinion is just a gathering of users discussing where they can get the best deal from. On the other hand, he's an addict, it will kill him, he'll be having a few kicks with Chris Mainwaring soon

    Wasn't her there to go to rehab in the first place and was trying to smuggle the stuff in? Seems sad (especially now he is a new father) but fitting that he'd end up hitting up with Mainwaring, seeing as it was probably him that introduced him to drugs in the first place.

    Sad waste of a life.

    I'm grumpy that the park break on the SZ fell apart this afternoon. There are now bent linkages/rods, wheel will not move, cannot even start the machine as needs to be in park to start and won't go there. Luckily happened at home so got the tractor FEL to get it on the trailer. Was a mission! Taking back to shop in morning for them to sort out.
