Re: Sale of goods and services act meets possibly mad custom
A good a case as any for a forum on “Contract conditions”
and maybe a “Do’s & Don’ts” when talking to a customer
Getting to the stage where we all have to treat each other as pigs and
just grunt,“As anything you do or say may be taken down as evidence and used against you”
Getting down to the stage where if you cant repair it you have to give them a replacement
Personally, the hope of her successfully chasing down that one depends on the adjudicator, the weather, whether he got a root last night, the letter of the law, and of course here’s you losing money defending such Frivolous and Vexatious actions.
Gettying easier to just give away free machines.
Forget trying to fix them and expecting paymentIts not the working for nothing that annoy’s me
It’s those who deliberately set out to de-fraud me or to minimise my worth.
I run a free help advice phone line to save people money.
I’ve been accused by a magistrate of being a parasite because I trade off the brand names
He got it wrong as I won on appeal.And who was he to throw stones, is he not a parasitical creature making his money off of the misfortune of others.
At least I don’t kill my hostI too hate money and feel guilty for charging people, not just the call outs
I would love to work for nothing but unfortunately the bank, the goverment, the petrol station, the wholesaler, the…………., the…………… and the………… etc etc etc etc etc etc don’t return the favour.
So I’m forced to charge for my services
Sometimes I just feel like going to the beach, right Goatboy
cause that gives me a lead in
A goat walks into the bar.
The bartender says, “hey, you can’t come in here.”
The goat looks around and sees several other goats sitting at the bar. “What about them?” he says.
“They’re allowed,” the bartender says, “but we don’t serve kids.”
and
a goat goes into a jobcenter and asks the clerk, in perfectly good english, for some work.
the clerk, amazed, flicks through his files and suggests he might want to try the circus.
“me?”, replies the goat, “what might the circus want with a appliance engineer”
or maybe

Add the $30 taxes and freight we cop down under

Because she didn’t get something done at no cost
Re: Fisher & Paykel Smartdrive 701 fix
Ian Solder another feed
wire this time to the centre pin and off course so far so good. Looks
very rough and absolutely cost a lot more in more time than simply
replacing a $41 component. However, a very nice feeling by way of
accomplishment.Just in passing I now have a better understanding of the Hall effect and
the use of micro sensors.
(http://content.honeywell.com/sensing/pr … llbook.pdf)I read that the motors are also desirable as wind turbines so had a bit

Fisher and Paykel
Ah yes, my wife married me because I had one of those “Automatic Washing Machines”
Her next washing machine was an old wringer that didn’t even have a pump. You drained it by dropping the hose. I must have had some other attributes
Reagan answered, “I had forgotten about that.”
“I don’t know what that would have been about,” Reagan said.
Reagan responded, “I don’t have a memory of that.”

“Here, then, was my opening if I chose to widen it.
It was almost certain that Reagan told Soviet jokes which he loved so much.
Which ones did Reagan recall on that occasion?
Was it the one many heard him repeat many times: about a Soviet who, having been told that a refrigerator repair man would come to his apartment in ten years, sheepishly inquires whether that would be in the morning or the afternoon, because, you see, he had a plumber scheduled for the same day?
Or the one featuring a commemorative Brezhnev stamp which did not stick because people spat on the wrong side?
Could it have been the one about the professional propagandist who, asked about the difference between capitalism and socialism, answered smugly: “Capitalism, comrades, is exploitation of man by man. Under socialism, it is the other way around.”
Or was it, from Reagan’s favorite émigré comedian Yakov Smirnoff, the Soviet Express credit card motto: “Don’t leave home!”
And how about the one on the difference between the Soviet and American constitution—both guaranteeing freedom of speech but the American one providing for freedom after speech as well?
And I could almost hear Reagan asking: “Have your heard the one about the Sahara desert under socialism? First the sand is rationed—and then it disappears completely.”
With deference to all my Gay buddies and those easily offended….
Have you heard the one about the two gay guys having sex and the house starts burning down.
Which one gets out first?
Why the gay guy on the bottom of course
He’s already got his shit packed
Hell I’m so disgusted with all the sports that I’m taking up drinking
I’m off on holiday Friday till Monday week

Anybody don’t think I can go the distance on this website : :lesson: :con: :lesson: :lesson: :con: :con: :lesson: ❓ :sleep:
I’ll get some advise from my wife on that one, although she’d rather I didn’t play with the boys here on this goddam web site.
“But it’s just so goooood honey
I’ve finally found someone who understands me”What’s all that sniggering
Probably get banned first

Thanks for listening and may God be with me
I’ve resisted the temptation to reply to Yurtesen.
And of course he’s operating in the public forum whilst so many of us have to deal with customers like this one to one on a weekly basis, like the chap who was going to destoy my business because I wouldn’t do as he wanted which was attempt a repair that was not commercially, economically and mechanically viable, and would have caused guarantee problems.
And the death threats because once we replaced their timer we find that the gearbox has seized.
Do you guys do an apprenticeship, have any formal qualifications, or have to be licensed?
Here any Tom, Dick, or Harry can set up shop without having to do any of the above
We also mark up genuine spares at 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} net on cost, irrespective of what the maunfacturers “list price” tries to dictate, and a lot more on pattern spares 😉
Love that. me 33.33{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on genuine, normally 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on pattern, and to up to 300{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on hoses.
Check your local hardware if they sell the hoses and what they charge

Re: Amusing Anecdotes & Other Tales
A bloke, walking down the street hand in hand with a penguin.
A police car screeches to a halt next to them and the policeman asks “what are you doing with the penguin?”Well!..I am taking it for a walk” came the reply.
Police: “I think that it would be in your interests to take it directly to the zoo!”
THe man obliged and took the penguin directly to the zoo.
Next day….The man was walking down the street with the penguin still by his side.
The police came by, stopping then reversing up…
“We thought that we told you to take the penguin to the zoo yesterday! said the policeman.I did! officer!…was the reply….He realy enjoyed it too!…today I am taking him to see a movie at the cinema
