An Angolan recently sent me his CV - he was looking for labouring work.

After the spiel on experience and education he listed his interests...

'Playing football, watching TV, computer games and listening to music'.

I don't think many UK employers would think much of watching TV as a hobby! I said I might try him out...

Haha cooling off period lol, and fancying made me laugh, nasir? Asain builders? Don't get many rd our way. Bet edl didn't ask him to quote their hq lol

Saw a builders van today and it had the fair trade stickers all over it, not the building ones but the far trade you get on chocolate or coffee for third world farmers lol.

We don't do much domestic work only for friends etc, doing a big commercial refit for kiddies soft play centre, one of the houses near by has had a load of work done but guy went with a builder and the work is shocking. Really shocking, work so he's come rd got us in to try and save him. One cut up gable is 4 and a 1/4 inches out of plumb on 2 metres of brick work. He's used 4x2 as roof spars and minging Marley reds tiles

Asain builders - what are they?

As my mate was cutting our hedges this week, 2 pikeys pulled up in white pick-up - Lee gets out of tractor -
" oi mate - we got two punctures off you last year down here."
Lee - "We didn't cut the hedges last year."

farmers with those hedge trimmer yokes on their tractors are people you really don't want to mess with :)

my drive lately to work of late, has took me through whitwell and codicote
2 quintessential English villages, village shops,logs for sale ,2 or 3 pubs in each,women in 4WD who cant drive
I get all misty eyed until i realise my 4 bed semi in luton gets me a 2 bed cottage with no garage or parking in this bucolic idyll

I thought there was quite a famous tag line for one of the Asian building firms.

`You've had the cowboys, now try the Indians `
