wrong road

when i was a lad my mum and dad moved house and we joined a new club, it was called /North road flying club.so we thought right train north as we did 50 miles we trained.came to the first race and we found out the fly south lol, didnt have race progams back then

back then ????? how long ago was it mark.....

Can remember a club flyer always trained his birds south route and raced north route and won

about 38 years ago lol

well i haveing a rest from the decorateing back to it in the morning

dont mention decorating mark, nearly finished the living room then its onto the kitchen.....all this while im supervising a nieghbours drive being flagged as i organised for it to be done, wish id have kept out of it....lol

that,ll teach you for sticking your nose in

i know ian, but with me putting a mate of mine on the job im responsible to make sure he does the job right, or it makes me look bad......youre right tho, should have kept out of it.......

That's the problem with asking a friend to do a job for someone

Anything goes wrong you are first port of call

however if your competant then youve got nothing to worry about

Yes your right Ian

But there's always that possibility that there may be that one thing go wrong

what could possibly go wrong with paving got every faith in you david

not me thats doing the job ian, neighbour wanted it doing and altho i am a qualified bricklayer and laying flags is easy really, its not something i relish doing really....its not for me, i suffer from back problems now and then so i didnt want to injure it doing these flags when i could be laid up for two weeks.....
i got a mate of mine to do it who i get work for now and then but the only thing is you have to watch him and make sure he does it right because if he can cut corners he will.....and it doesnt make me look good to the nieghbours. as it happens hes pulled a bit of a fast one with them and got paid so it looks like ill have to finish a couple of bits off for them as its down to me for getting him to do it for them, should have kept out of it and let them get a firm in to do it.......

always backfires doesnt it

Well what did i say??????????????????????????????

The only time i get work done for any neighbour is if i can do it myself and yes i love slabbing, tarmacing, block paving all civil engineering work even though i am a qualified carpenter and joiner

Forgot to say this stops people talking about you which i hate tell me to my face and i am o.k

what doyou mean don nobody has said anything just talking about doing favours for people then it backfires on you , by the way iam also a time served carpenter and joiner

sometimes its best just to stay out of things like this when nieghbours or family are involved......as it always comes back to bite you on the backside if/when something isnt done quite right.

i think don has got the wrong end of the stick

No what i am saying if if it not right then the first line of call is the person who recommended the person to do the job

ok don just a misunderstanding

yes true don, ive said it before that i wont get involved but i always do......give someone a chance to make a bit of money but its not worth the agro in the end as if/when it goes wrong the finger points at me.... good job ive got a thick skin...(and head)
