haha, i know that tunnell, they train concrete sprayers out there, im living out beside it and pas it every day! shit hole!! you want the dollors you do the shit i suppose, im spraying concrete ground support with the past few years as there is way more demand for sprayers than sparkys and better bucks but your right its a shit job!! any lad working on sites at a labour end gets it tough, still it pays well so if ya stick it for a few years and cover the overheads you can afford to take less money closer to home. thats my plan anyway! not wanting to be an old man and still lugging a bag around

The wife took my Jill to the vets for the jab as soon as she started to swell and she was told there is 50/50 chance of it working as it was going to take up to ten days for it to work and in that time she could be cought, in my last reply bob I stated first thing in tomorrow ( today ) would be best,and tbo mate the Jill would have more chance of taking in more dirt down I the rabbit warrens even more so with ticks starting to show and it's not really worth the risk ATB mark
