    I did 5 years non stop in blackpool working at sanuk and syndicate before its demise. Had a blast and met some “characters” if you acted a dick and a hardman you got put in your place sharpish. If you held your own and had respect you got on. Watching the prigrammes makes me want to re kindle the badge and have a laugh again but too much hassle these days.

    I used to have a htc one x excellent phone just poor battery life. Ive now got a galaxy note 2 which lasts 2 days without charge as the battery is very high ah and its removable so you can buy even higher ah batterys off ebay. Ive heard good things about a motorolla which has a very good battery all above are android with usb as the charging point.

    To be honest i have to agree with deadly darcy, being a tradesman is a pain sometimes, running about, sitting and working out and pricing, ringing wholesalers, it all eats into your homelife and do you get paid?? No so the customer gets a lot for free tbh, the price of copper changes weekly, so a quote may increase, allways get 3 quotes and obviously ask for past work completions, recommendations, a geezer turning up and sloshing shit water all down your stairs aint on now is it? Or worse leaving a bowl under a leaking trap that hes fit!!!!! (Yes ive sin it bin done)

    Fein cutter is top end and i use one daily when boarders board over my fekking pipes, and for access doors, 12mm ply and double board, no issues mines a corded 110v, although some lads now have the makita 18v cordless variety and they seem to keep up with mine, so il be investing in a cordless one too. Best buy other than my cordless pipe cutter ; )

    The pick up is the higher driving position fo the mrs and the fact the people are seperate from my tools etc, and id end up buying a back for it anyway, looked at a duster and needed a sick bag im afraid ; / just not a looker.

    Our GT only sees 40mph when shes driving, and we probably get 38-45 mpg for a 1.6 petrol, so 30mpg would be acceptable, the insurance quotes we got for a 2.2 antara were 200 cheaper than the GT ; )

    Whats the real time running costs of the tekna TAFKASTR?? Her insurance would be 650py fully comp on a 2.2 top spec antara. And the antara is quite a high insurance group.

    Some decent ideas there, im a tradesman so thats where the pickup has come from used a warrior in the past the newer shape and i fit alright, the rav 4 felt like the steering wheel was at my stomach, and yes it was fully extended and full height,will look at a quashqai and a freelander now ; ), the sportage was waaaayyy to much to buy found one we liked but it was 17k, think the x5 would be too pricy to run and insure for her.

    Van vault bolted to bulkhead or floor, in experience if some shit wants the tools stuff will only slow them down, if they cant get tools theyle take the van instead, just take tools out at night ballache yes but saves waking up to no gear and a few days lost graft.

    Lol i was fitting windows in the pvcu boom when every man and his dog jumped on it, i have worked in pipe fitting/plumbing and ventilation for years now as thats where my money lies, our firm work direct for well known pubs hotels and coffee and spicy chicken suppliers so the main contractors who do all the other trades have to clean up after us the mechanical lads as theyre just subbies

    Rocky mountain, its a company policy and their choice as to “make good” where i work now we dont even sweep up or pack our gear away, the sub contractor tells his labour to do it for us, is that right??? No…. But its bloody brilliant for us!!!! Everybody is different and all op needs to do is ask

    In a word no, I have my tablet linked to my phone via 3g just as fast as my work colleauges dongle, he was very smug with his new ee phone and 4g till he couldent get the 4 g signal and the following week he had run out of data on a £50 pm contract, I’m on 3 I always have signal and 3g and I work all over the UK no issues, there are 2 versions of the ip5 one 4g ready and one 4g out of the box so ask if anyone ever decides to buy one, with three I received an email stating that 3 customers on the one plan get 4g free anyway unlimited as 3 is the “inter netting” company, 3 sold part of the rights to ee for 4g and off com allowing all other networks to release it as its unfair, three will be the only one who will offer unlimited 4g at a reasonable price.

    Dont wanna put a spanner in the works but in my experiance vivaros/primstars and the traffics have all bin nightmares reliability wise, ive worked for a few firms whove had varying models from 02 plates right up to the lates models, turning circles poor, ecu likes to go haywire and cost you a fortune, gearboxes like to shear to pieces and clutches arent the best, this is just my opinion barr one has bin ok which was used as our crew bus (lwb crew cab) and that was a bit knocky, we couldent rape them as they had limiters on them and trackers so no short shifts or 100mph blasts home on a friday, theyve just given back the last one after gearbox number 2 has spit its load out, transits are now flavour of choice!!!! Just my opinion btw not trying to piss on ur chips just a heads up to look and see if its bin well maintained or had any work done to it, the worst culprits seem to be 04-08 vivaro cdti.

    Well the 5s i going to be the iPhone for the masses, (apparently) cheep and cheerful, then the 6 will be released along with the iPad mini 2 and the new new iPad (again).

    As for my 5 its the 3rd one I’ve had, and i still cant connect to any wifi at all, ive even spoke to a wifi engineer who works installing and trouble shooting wifi systems, and he also has the same issue. drops calls and decides on its own whenever to take me back to the home screen and close apps/ whatever i was doing, just lost all faith in apple since i got my ip5 i had a one x previous and loved it, faster bigger screen and better call quality but it got stolen,

    Ip5s going for £300 the xoom tablet voted 5 stars in most tests and dubbed the ipad 3 killer and its running latest os, one x is voted better than the 4s power wise and useability, one x £200-240 on tbay and the xoom tab is 190-250 depending on cond, iv looked avidly into this and my ip5 is just terrible tbh, also the ip5s is out at xmas
