    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

    Looking in my local newspaper and finding an ad that states, Lawnmowing $20 per hour or fixed quote price.

    Another beer or 2 and I might call this bloke and give him a gob full. Actually I might call him and ask for my lawns to be mowed. Why am I bothering if I can get it done for that price. I will leave my trailer sitting out the front and when he asks about it I will tell him, I would rather pay someone at that price........gives me an idea........why am I working so hard!

    There are lotssssssss of lawns I need done........

    Pulled in to a servo in a small town (Georgetown QLD) and these Harley riders had filled up their bikes. They left the bikes standing beside the bowser and two of them were talking on their mobile phones while standing about 2 metres away from the bowsers. I pulled up and made it pretty clear that I couldn't get to the bowser to fill my car up. One guy was really engrossed in his conversation and didn't even realise what was going on until the lady who owns the servo came out and gave him an ear full.

    "Turn that bloody phone off and move your bike so other people can use the bowser !!" That put a smile on my face.

    So then he walks over to the bike still talking with his phone tucked under his ear, gets on it and rolls it out of the way.

    UNBELIEVABLE !!

    This perhaps???

    http://mornington-peninsula-leader.w...in-mornington/

    A PARTNERSHIP against crime between international franchiser Jim’s Group, Victoria police and Neighbourhood Watch will make residents feel safer.

    Launched last Wednesday evening at Peninsula Community Theatre, the partnership will be trialled on the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston until February.

    Mornington police’s detective Acting Sen-Sgt Michael Lamb said the new partnership will “supply another set of eyes and ears in the community”.

    “There are 150 franchisees in 31 businesses who have clients in Frankston and on the peninsula and who stop at places for periods of time, often when people aren’t home,” Sen-Sgt Lamb said.

    “They will now be looking for suspicious activities and reporting it to Crime Stoppers. It’s a simple but hopefully effective idea which will make people feel safer.”

    Jim’s Group franchisees - which include cleaning, mowing, painting, plumbing and roofing businesses - will also have Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch signage on their vans to also help deter criminal activity.

    The new initiative comes as the State Government says it is “still committed” to reinstating street-by-street crime statistics.

    I wont go into too much detail yet but lets just say he is getting a bit smarter in his old age. Whether it affects a few or many time will tell. If your paying attention to whats going on you will come across what he is doing.
