    While we are on the subject and just in case you guys haven't seen the "Jokes R Us" thread yet, we can buy 5 kg bags of Cousins Ice up here in N.Q. at the servo or supermarket legally no questions asked. We don't have to hide it inside ourselves or "suitcase it" as they say in prison.

    Thats no good mate!

    I now have a winch, extra ropes, battery air compressor etc for those situations.

    hitting up means you inject the drugs. you do not hit up ice, you smoke it. when you saw him snorting it would have been cocaine or meth (cocaine better for you than meth). thats what you do with herion. so he is not hitting up. if he was a smack addict he would not have been able to play footy fool stop! clearly he was off ilegal drugs for the time he was at richmond. they tested him 3 times per week, including hair folicoles... no chance to get out of that one (even though he shaved his head b4 he started, the folicoles they test are beneath the skin)! half the reporters condemming him would dabble in recreational drugs on the weekends. personaly i just feel sorry for him and his family. people do get off this sort of s%^t. i have seen it first hand. make no mistake it can be done. giving up the smokes is physically harder. the hardest part is giving up the culture.

    sorry to be a prik, but there are more drugs in jail than outside of jail.... go in with a fondness for the green stuff, and come out addicted to herion or meth.

    Losing a good customer to a young gun charging $25 cash for a fortnightly lawn mow is it wrong for me to dob him in to the tax man? I also have two other customers next to this customer so i'm waiting for those calls too. My customer rang saying i'm so sorry but its too good a deal i'm going to try him out but if it doesn't work out do u mind if i get u to mow it again.

    Last time I had that happen, they were back after 2 cuts, and my response was sure I'll do it, but at 10 bucks more than before thank you

    Definitely. It will save you having to put the price up later so may as well do it now.

    I carry rope with me but a winch would be awesome! Been times I could of used one thats for sure but it wouldnt of helped in this situation. Wheel wouldnt spin at all, brake was locked on and had to lift azz end of the machine to move it anywhere.

    I was fully looked after today though. Took machine in this morning, they stripped wheel, break etc down, part was ordered, delivered in afternoon and I picked machine up late this arvo! Unreal!
    That was Karls Mowers! Way above and beyond what I or anyone could of expected! I should also mention Col at Nuban Mowers. They look after me as well, big time!
    Makes life much easier knowing you can rely on good dealers to basically drop everything and get contractors back out working!

    You'd need a beer or six after using a Tirfor. Done that too many times when out 4WDing.
