    Re: Trusting soul or what?

    I get quite a few got one on Monday.
    Often a cup and the coffee is left by the machine, help yourself ! Several have a left a signed cheque for me to fill in.
    Key is nearly always:
    under a brick
    under the dustbin
    on a nail/ledge just inside the shed.
    Decent people to work for.

    Will watch until we win tonight.
    Maybe bad for the state of cricket down under ,as a national side we are as good as we have ben for 20 years,with decent bowlers coming into the side and still more wating in the wings.
    Colligwood,great battler,many thanks for your efforts, inspired us on many occasions when there was a struggle on,cracking competitor who has had no small impact by example alone to the others.

    Not good for the back but no choice,a couple of small squares of carpet with pile downwards under the front feet will assisit,or a smear of washing up liquid on the floor where the feet will slide.

    only when necessary…
    Just wondered what you can carry and what you chose to carry when cycling to jobs,presume you aren’t on a trek madone with tyres at 120psi.
    Was out on my road bike at the weekend training and after an hour my water bottle had turned to slush 🙂

    Re: I should cocoa!

    I am self employed and wouldn’t accept dishonesty in the trade but,are we 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} honest and paying all our taxes ? of course I am,I think,as near as I can get anyway!
    Cash job,not a chance sir,sorry I’ll have to report you for asking as it’s an attempt to defraud customs and excise,supposed to do but don’t.
    If the owner rounds the £76-50 bill to £80 and says keep the change,the difference is duly noted down and submitted with your tax return as tips etc.
    They may give you a bottle of wine or other gifts which also must be valued and submitted with the tax return too,as above.
    Went in the works van to watch the racing etc,mileage and alllowance adjusted of course.
    Is there a man who does 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} by the book ? even if you set out to obeye every rule of law as regards earnings/tips/gifts etc it would be virtually impossible IMO to acheive.
    Worked for a company who gave us nice hampers at Christmas which was great but come February salary the tax on these gifts had to be paid as the company declared it to the revenue,always a downer.

    To defrost you need to switch off,empty freezer and leave door open for a minimum of 36 hours otherwise frost around the evaporator which is behind the back panel in the freezer won’t clear.
