I mostly do too. But working it out like that would have made the job about £2k and he wouldn't have worn it so do you want the job or not? It was an easy job at the end of the day and it paid OK

It's handy enough to talk to other people even if it's only while you Marshall your own thoughts.

It certainly is. End of the day, I could have got into a pissing contest about the £90 but I charged him £580 to strip 2 m^2 of tiles, dry it out, replaster the wall, put 2m^2 of tiles back on and paint it, then £180 to supply and fit a £100 shower unit and leaving the place like I was never...

The difference is that malt man didn't do it for a laugh.

I'm not taking any more on now til after Xmas. I've got one bathroom to tile and that's me. Then I'm painting my flat and I'm going to sit in it and get drunk until it's time to go to rammy.

Yes he paid me on the requested day. Takes an extra day to get here. For some reason, Irish banks don't clear transfers on the same day. I'll be more careful about how I word that next time.

@JessThePlasterer tell him what a petty man I am.

Send him a sausage fingers while you're about it. He'll like that.

He does it be getting off his own arse and not asking momma to pick up after him like he's ten. Kick him out. He'll soon get motivated to look for a job. And if all else fails, there's a perfectly good Parachute Regiment there. Taking unwanted children since 1942

Did you like it?

Well he wants to make sure you do it right doesn't he. You never know, @Andy g might show up.

But it is pronounced with a v. Stop wi yer fuckin miver will yer?

I thought mither was a real word until Word kept underlining it in red and I looked it up.

He has replied. I'm not desperate. I'm indignant. You don't understand what I'm like when a customer is slow to pay. They hope you'll go away but I text and ring them about every 3 hrs. Morning noon and night until they realise that the only way to make it stop is to cough up. I never threaten...

So here we go...I'll now hound him night and day. I'll lay siege to his mental health.

By the time you'd paid yourself to post all this shite chef, you could have paid a plasterer to put half a dozen boards up ten times over. Just saying like

Top intro bro

75 and I'll take it

No. No. Nononononono. No f**k**g way not that time no. I spent a bit of time in Aldershot and a bit of time in Chivnor. Apart from that, Germany. In fact, I had such a good time in BAOR UKLF(G) That I quit rather than take a UK garrison posting

Depends where you live in UK

What he's going to get now is the full force of Stevio stupidity when he can't understand why he hasn't been paid. Morning Aramus. Did you pay me yesterday thanks Steve. Afternoon Aramus did you get my text this morning. I was asking if you paid me yesterday. Morning Aramus did you pay me...

I'll do it for nowt if you want.

On that we agree. I call the customer by his first name to his face and I refer to the current one as Mr McGonagal when I speak of them to other trades. Call me old fashioned

Texts count in court.

Not yet. He will. I'll text him tomorrow at close of play if he doesn't and rescind my offer. Only costs €25 to take someone to district court here and at the very least, that'd cost him a 400 mile drive to defend it. He knows that.

I told him £30 a day. I knew it would be more than 3 days and that would be profit. My mistake was one word. I said "it's" I should have said "I need"

Oops

Oh I'll do that alright. And then some.

You've spelt Steven wrong you illiterate f@#£_&g f@#£&r

Not quite. I told him £30 a day. Anyway, on this occasion, I've decided to learn from it and be clearer in future.

I stated £30 a day. Looking back I should probably have been more iron clad about renting from me. Looking at it, I'm going to accept that I may lose the profit on this one. I'm going to explain to the customer that what he thinks is fair means me working for nowt which was never my intention...

@Andy g

It was by text. He had his quote but then he said hurry up. I said I can't unless you want to pay for a dehumidifier and they're £30 a day. He said do it. And now he wants my discount.

Yes but the bastards have a website and telephones

Simple. He went to the hire shop and they told him £30 a day hire for 3 days get the rest of the week free. So now he thinks he's been unfairly billed.

I understand that the quote was the quote but more or less the question rephrased is - do you think the £90 on a thousand quid job is worth the pissing contest?

Couldn't blame her for that.

I quoted him £580 plus plumbing. He asked me for a dehumidifier to speed the job up. I quoted him £30 a day and it was at the job 6 days. £180. But now he has my bill and he doesn't want to pay £180 because he knows I paid £90. So he feels I've pulled the wool and he's digging his heels in.

Customer has been behind me and isn't happy about what he feels is overcharging him on a dehumidifier. Basically I quoted him £30 a day for it and he's found that I'll only have paid for the first 3 days when the machine was on the job 6, so the way he figures, my price is £90 heavy. It's...

Have you got any idea how hard the shite you post is to read?

Follow my advice

You couldn't be more wrong. The victims of the p**i nonces thought they were people's girlfriends. That's a huge part of why the authorities found it all so impenetrable that they gave up. We had all this months ago. It's why @gps blew up and f**k*d off.

It's actually two different types of nonces. If you watch any of the Catch-a-Nonce programmes you'll see that Muslims are proportionately represented. The gangs that made the news weren't of that type at all and it was the inaction of the apparatus that drew the real fury. Plus, those...

@The Hobo yep.... Bam bam...OW... That'll teach you to follow the joist properly. I wish I had three arms. Get on with it.

when I first started work no screws only what they called jagged clouts that was a nail with a coarse galvanised shank meant to stop nail working loose on ceilings all fixed every 4 inch Yep. The top of my head is flat and I'm deaf from boarding in the 90s

Tis. Her water bowl anyway. I don't live with a woman so not for me plastic tat with pictures of little bones and paw prints on it.

Oh well that good isn't it? Why don't you just say there is a snagger. It's called the customer.

I bet you site monkeys wouldn't even put a tight coat of bonding over that. There's no snaggers behind you on domestic work you know. Bish bosh that'll do. This is the man's house we're talking about here. You animal.
