Title: I've Got A New Job!!!
Post by: Mike, Lord of the Spammers! on September 10, 2008, 04:17:40 PM
This will be the first Full Time job I've had in about 4 years :)

It's at a local school as a groundsman, and general dogs body, but the money's ok, I can fit it around my boy and I get my own shed :D

Please excuse my exuberance :-[

WiFi seems to be pretty ubiquitous in schools these days.  Apart from the very middle class ones, where they read in the Daily Mail that it eats your brain.

Well knives are illegal to have on school premises, but I'm reasonably certain I can get away with having a Farmer on me out side the actual school :)

LMAO! I have never heard Bob's voice but somehow I can hear him saying that! :D

I worked many conventions and their were always camera's around and I never liked it, it
felt like I was a bug on a slide under a microscope, and I was a good boy!

Now for the 64,000$ question, how much are you using your MT/SAKs?! :think:

maybe for/by X-mas I'll get one, it's really the ultimate SAK.

a friend has a "super" like Champ, I forget which model, all I know
is it has more tools then the reg and is bigger (not that monster one).

No, no new thread's yet (I haven't started one for a while now :-[) but yeah it's great to have one again, as they really are excellent bushie blades :)
Title: Re: I've Got A New Job!!!
Post by: WhichDawg on October 13, 2008, 10:54:31 PM
they are IMO in the top of the list of great blades.

You can get it "now"
You can get it for a good deal (compared to other great blades)
It has great balance
It has great steel
It's not too small, not to big
and it feels very good in your hand (big or little paw).

may I make a suggestion, could you paint it ugly or scratch it up, this way
you can never sell it!

Mike I would only say this as I know you and you know I am not dis-respecting your cousin or anything.  But Duckman, Mike said he was "just on the limit alcohol wise", this means that he may have done nothing at all wrong and that it was just a tragic accident.

All I am saying is, without more information, which Mike may or may not want to share, we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions and hoping that "the guy got what he deserves" IMO.

Mike is our friend, ergo, his cousin is our friend.

This leaves 'the other guy' as a faceless enemy we may freely loath.


don't take hate away from us!

Well just to clarify, he was just on the limit for alchol (far as I'm concerned you don't drink and drive period) but he was also just over the speed limit too :-\

The real tragidy was that it took about 3 months for her to die from her injuries, which was hell on ice for my family :(

I don't think saying that he hopes the guy gets what he deserves is jumping to any conclusions.  For instance, if it were just an accident and the guy is a saint, then maybe he deserves all the riches in the world or something...

Jumping to conclusions would be stating what the guy deserves, without knowing any of the facts.

Very true that, however there was a comment later on about believing in karma and all that jazz so I took that comment as I did.

All I wanted to say was that from the info we had the guy may have done absolutely nothing at all wrong.  Just on the legal limit is still legal.
