Grass looking like I need to start cutting it again. ?
Cut mine two weeks ago - going to give it another trim during lunch break today - too nice a day to be sitting in the house working all day.

Mine only takes 10-15 minutes to cut with rechargable electric mower - in two months time I'm moving house and will have approximately 8 times the amount of grass to cut - electric mower won't be enough for that.

The Mrs has bulbs in the front lawn.....
So I have to strip around Daffs and Tulips without decapitating any....
I hate cutting grass as it is.....this just makes it 10 times worse...

First Men's Medal this weekend. So from tomorrow we reinstate electric trolleys and the mandatory use of mats is also rescinded...amazing timing considering the amount of rain we had on Wednesday and how wet the course still is.

Last game of the season tomorrow, playing 3rd bottom so would have been a really good laugh. Just found out they’ve forfeited the game, 2nd time in 3 weeks that has happened ?
On a related football-based note. I've joined a Thursday night football game, where teams are picked by captains each week, and individual wins for each player are tracked in a league table. Somehow I was top before this week having won in 7 out of 8 weeks, but last night my team was sabotaged by our own player. One of this week's captains got someone in to replace a last minute drop-out, then didn't even pick his own mate when they picked teams, so alarm bells were ringing. He played left side of defence for my team, disappeared completely for the first goal allowing a back post tap-in, then went in goal and let the ball through his legs for their second goal, third goal he passed it straight to the opposition and they scored again. Then he twisted his knee trying to keep the ball in play having let it roll straight under his foot, and had to sit out the rest of the game so we were a man short. When he went off we were 3-1 down and we lost 4-3 in the end so we did better without him!

I would keep quiet if you mean you may have to get one powered by an ICE.......the guys of the electric car thread can see this one too you know! :ROFLMAO:

Why is that shocking?

What’s the take home pay after business expenses and tax?

Don’t bother, people not in the building game would have no idea of the cost of running vans, offices, staff, insurances, subscriptions to trade bodies, cost of bank overdrafts, as well as National insurance and pension contributions. They just think you stick the whole lot in your pocket. ?‍♂️

It's not just the building game people think like that, any self employed tradesmen is looked down on like that. Everyone wants everything for next to nothing, apart from when it comes to their wages.
