The Hornet's Nest

Hooooray - that has made my day "The future is..... "

 

Weeeeeh Heeeeeeey - this is my 2,000 th post here all round

 

May i ask what i am being carefull of?

 

BHD, I do not know. A post somewhere in french, spænska and írska and I replied. I am sure you wrote this comment but pehaps I am incorrect.

 

I am just fiddling around with the profile at the moment, and thought i would have something different.

 

Happy Birthday, Mme ofh .

 

She is out at the moment, tucking into cake no doubt, but I will pass on your good wishes SLB.

 

Back frm the daily grind on the way back ,my bike started making ominious noises,engine and gearbox strip at the weekend I fear still at least I wont miss any proper football!)

 

I became an accountant to avoid being a mechanic As a kid watching my dad laying underneath his car on freezing cold ground with oil dripping in his face and shearing his knuckles trying to get nuts and bolts loose told me I watned to earn enough to pay someone else to do that for me

 

Accountants for me, rank alongside lawyers and estate agents , sometimes necessary but all are evil!!

Actually Fair play , I have told my sons not to go into engineering ,so one is a Lecky least he will keep his hands clean

 

Out here because its so difficult to get a tradesman and so expensive if you do find one , Most Noggys do most things themselves! car maintenance , House maintenance such as plumbing etc You have to give it a go yourself!! I have learnt a lot the last few years!
In the UK I would have done some OT and then paid a tradesman,not here!

 

I went into it by accident really - always good with numbers and not really sure what it was I wanted to do

 

My Father was an accountant , One grandfather was a chartered accountant! So I joined the RAF

 

No accountants in our family...all welders, sheep rustlers, con artists and wine samplers with the occasional vicar, teacher and architect thrown in

 

Sounds like a proper lineage Theo

 

OOps 20 mins past bed time , you bad lot keeping me up playing with the comp.

 

Night all!

 

I have an ancestor who was hung for passing a forged 10/- note. He along with a fellow crook were sent to the gallows in Cambridge. A third felon had some money that he used to get himself deported to Oz.

 

Night N- on earlies?

 

My dad and his brothers were all police marksmen.
My granddad was a bank robber - he died surrounded by his family
