Brits talkin about Brit stuff

I did the ISA cert arb at home with the workbook and got through ok. The problem is, it only lasts 3 years, unless you get enough points in that period. You get points by passing tests in the ISA mag, but to get enough, you'd have to attend various seminars etc. which cost.

NOt that much. ISA has test sheets for almost all its books--you read the book, take the test, get the ceu's. much better info for less money than seminars, and the book lasts forever, and you can share it.

I let my cert lapse out of carelessness once; cost is not a genuine issue if you look at the big picture.

bad week

before i start the story i aint no aussie.

here is my bad bad week.

left dorset on sunday (weekend away) and got home at 5am, up at 6.30 to go to work, worked fine alday not tired in the slightest.

tuesday driving home in the mog, nodded off and woke up as i ploughed over a bollard, the butt plate pushing it over. snapped the next 3 clean off and smashed both headlights in the process....whoops 220 quid for replacements.

wednesday managed to fu*k the saw on a stick (polesaw) boss reckons another 200, the saw shop is closed at the mo.

friday the battery in the mog went as well.

all in not a good week....sh!t happens though.

having said that the bosses 13 year old son is working with us over the summer. he keeps getting chucked out of school, we are all having great fun shouting at him and giving him grief, making sure he realises how easy school is compared to the real world. he was giving the boss (his dad) grief on monday so the boss told him

'at home i will disipline you like a son, on the job site i will treat you like an employee so get back to work or fu*k off. if you dont do as i say you can find your own way home'

that was 40 miles away from home and he didnt know where he was.

Jamie,It sounds to me like you worked the week for nothing by the time you have paid for the repairs.

 

[jamie]

yep

yep, it was a bit of a ????e week....bollocks.

not too sure what the boss is really thinking, i know he is pissd but he seems in not too bad a fettle.... keeps reminding me though.....

jamie

 

[Thor's Hammer]

imagine if youd been in a transit instead of the mog...
That would have been a lot more expensive...

one of our lads lost a set of Keys & the boss just took £100 out of his pay without asking,which is illeagal.

 

[jamie]

Especially as a set of keys usually costs 35 quid thereabouts....

 

[Ross Turner]

The keys where for anti theft locks on the trailer.

wheel clamp & hitch lock.
