    Only thing you tore apart was ya arm! And now probably ya bank account! But as long as you looked good... Cough and snigger!!!!
    You can stick to your story all you like but a true ripper never blames his thongs, oops, I mean shoes!

    We've all had those. sometimes it's best to just cut your losses, go home, have a few too many beers and start fresh tomorrow. Although with the way the grass is growing now it can be hard to catch up.

    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

    Have to say my afternoon went better than my morning. Ending the day on a positive is always better. Makes you a little more relaxed to go home and confront 'the noise' !

    Prospective client called on Saturday to arrange a quote for today. Arrived at site. Job already done. WTF? Says his father did it over the weekend. Courtesy, people. Common, decent courtesy.

    Also, got a stone chip in the windscreen heading down the F3. By the time I arrived at the first site it had a >180 mm crack. Time for a new windscreen. Meh. First one in my lifetime, so the odds are good.

    Not happy, Jan.

    Brushcutting between 2 shipping containers 3 feet apart. And cracker dust under the grass. Like riding through a swarm of bee's at 100km an hour.
