Hi all,

How much can i expect to earn as a self employed spark, with regular work coming in ???
Do you guys make a comfortable living from the trade ?

Have any of you noticed things slowing down of late, with the credit crunch kicking in, and the housing market suffering ??

p.s im not a nosey ******* !!! just want to know i made the correct career choice.
 
Thank fuc* for that
totally disagree

carter you write with great knowledge and humour.
i love your descriptions of the useless incumbents that are running this country.
I am now desperate to get the hell out of here.Spain?
living in birmingham i am now in the minority as immigrants outnumber the indigenous population what a f**cking state to get in!!!!
I feel so sad for our kids who seem to be being left behind by more motivated immigrant kids. I dont blame them for trying to better themselves, but why is it always the U.K.
I saw this coming along with many others about 15 years ago but the cretins in goverment only act now


buenos tardes marty:mad:
 
Carter.... you on the tools? Can i come and sit with you at dinner.Most of the lads i work with sit around reading the sport or the star and talk about big brother or play fantasy football manager!!!
 
nice one bane ,has the courage to say what others are thinking,well done;)

Some things defy simple explanation. The current situation is one of those.
Some don't want to hear it but that won't make it go away. (the missus puts up with me because she's equally as clued in and angry:D)
I could keep me mouth shut but then I'd be tacitly condoning the status quo so I can't, I don't and I won't. Ignorance is NOT bliss in this case though it may offer the simpleton's route through it. I have no choice in the matter, for the sake of my lad and his next generation I have to resist it, expose it and keep kicking it in the pods till it collapses in a heap.

ta!

....as much as I hate having to write them! We shouldn't have to waste so much of our limited time, energy and money fighting our own government!!!! The only legitimate function of govt. is to protect the security of porperty rights and the nation's interests and those of its people in areas most suitable to central administration. It must only do this in those matters WE CHOOSE to delegate to them. We allocate them a set amount of OUR MONEY and grant them the authority (ON LOAN) to carry out those duties then tell them to get on with it. As soon as it starts to encroach on matters that are none of its legitimate business (as decided BY US the electorate) then it is acting out of its remit and must be firmly and if needed, violently, slapped back into place.

Governments are phenomenaly bad at doing things and are extremely costly in the achieving of them so they should given the very least to do, doesn't that sound reasonable? because it does to me. It's only peoples willingness to hand huge chunks of their life to an external agency out of idleness that has allowed the *******s to get as far as they have.
Governments will always try to appropriate more power to itself, it's in their nature, they smell the aphrodisiac of power, get a stiff one for free and from then on they can't help themselves. That's why we have to keep a constant watch on their mission creep. I you take your eye off them for a second they will start interfering and legislating your life from under your nose.

I am now desperate to get the hell out of here.Spain?
sigh....:(

...living in birmingham i am now in the minority as immigrants outnumber the indigenous population what a f**cking state to get in!!!!

Worst case projections indicate that the rest of the country is due to reach that condition sometime around 2060 and in any event by around 2110 (ie no matter what we do re immigration) from...
Immigration and ethnic change in low-fertility countries – towards a new demographic transition? by David Coleman, University of Oxford and Sergei Scherbov, Vienna Institute of Demography.

And I have YET to see that statistic on a SINGLE front page. Why could this possibly be do you think! I have my explanation but I'm always keen to hear as many others as are credible.

I feel so sad for our kids who seem to be being left behind by more motivated immigrant kids. I dont blame them for trying to better themselves, but why is it always the U.K.

Same here, it disgusts, enrages and baffles me that a country and a people could do this to themselves. is there something in the water after all?

I saw this coming along with many others about 15 years ago but the cretins in goverment only act now

Take it from me Marty they have no intention of 'acting' unless its acting concerned, there's certainly nothing in any major manifesto that I've seen that has a hope in hell of halting this treason. They are importing a fresh voting bloc as they know that they cant fool the indigenous electors for much longer. Even the trade unions are ripping up their Labour Party memberships in disgust. hopefully they'll smarten up sufficiently to rip their union cards up at the same time as they are tucked up tight in Nu-Lab's bed. But then they don't need to keep the pretence up for much longer than a few more 'parliaments' and the job will be all but complete. That's why I insist that time is the real issue, there is a lot less remaining than folks actually realize.

Did twenty+ on site, have been off site the past five involved in other things but looking to get back at it in near future unless I can extend the current project. Plus, I miss the crack!

Christ bail out chap, go for a walk, anything but Big Brother! Been there, got bored, didn't learn anything other than how tediuosly ignorant most people are, they'll vote in droves for a fantasy one while a real one ticks away in their chip & PIN passport. If that sounds arrogant well so what. it's the truth. Spare chair there Piggy and it's ÂŁ1:50 in the tea kitty.

You'd think that wouldn't you but surprisingly not, who says men can't multi-task, pah!

OMG. Carter - do you go to work or just try and re-write war and peace on this forum?
Just responding to the thread Cirrus as comprehensively as possible. It's a complicated subject so it's a long response. T'aint War & Peace I just scribble down what's been worked out years ago. piece of ----.

Spend some time with the missus - I reckon she deserves it if she has to contend with half of the droning on that we have to put up with!:p

We have rarely been more than fifty feet apart in the last 5yrs. ---- do I need a holiday!

Oh no not global warming

The Vikings settled in Greenland in 997. At that time Greenland had a favourable climate for farming.

Around the year 1000 the climate began to cool 'global cooling'.
Rather than adapt to the prevailing conditions the Vikings moved south to warmer climates.

At this time, the media and some scientist blamed Vikings for global cooling, because they refused to use 4* fuel in their ships, also they would not use incandescent lamps in their huts, they preferred the low energy 11w lamps (this is not the reason Vikings were a bit dim)

The Earth was cooling, and carbon footprints show they did not burn enough fossil fuel. I myself conducted an experiment to prove the theory. I first took a plaster cast of a Viking footprint and then took fossil samples, using a carbon dating agency, I could establish without doubt, Viking toes were shrinking which proves conclusively the Earth was cooling (cool objects tend to contract) known as 'Thermal Contraction'.

However I was unable to confirm if this global cooling was down to Viking activity.
'Erik the Red', the Viking explorer said in the year 1000, 'we are Vikings we will not use leaded fuel, we are 'Green Vikings'. Vikings of course were a notorious war like people, politicians of the day did not argue with Vikings!
However, I may be telling a white lie.

Vikings were in fact a generally peaceful bunch, who preferred farming to raping and pillaging.
BBC reporters at time made a big issue of the fact, that Vikings were responsible for global cooling, and that they should not go marauding around the North Atlantic in 'Green Ships' (unless working for the Beeb) without taking responsibility for their actions, stating 'ethical Viking man is a curse on society'

Mr Blareiski, the world leader at the time; insisted a stealth tax would cure global cooling problems, and immediately instigated a 10 groat boat tax on all 'Green Viking Ships'. However, he reduced the duty VAT-(Viking Added Tax) on ale, grog, mead, beans and cabbage so as to encourage Vikings to drink and eat more and thus ensure more greenhouse gas (methane) reaches the atmosphere through Viking farts. He also relaxed licensing laws, allowing 24-hour drinking in Viking pubs.

Mr Camoroniski, the leader of the opposition, said 'In years to come, perhaps the year 2007' icebergs will be floating up the Thames, the Pacific ocean will be no more than 9 inches deep (due to sea level falling) and residents in New York City, will not be able to see the top of the Empire State Building, due to snow drifts.' He has however agreed to do his bit, he has installed a coal fired power station on his roof with a maximum output of 1kw.

Mr Algoreiski, the renown scientist, (he turned to science after failing to beat Mr Bushski in the new world elections) said' My aim now is to prove to Vikings how dangerous global cooling will be in the future. I will be making a film outlining my science. 'Cool Dude' will be released on the 5 Feb 1001
AD 1000

Greenhouse Gases
Water Vapour 95.000% (Viking Saunas, Bathing 0.000000001%)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 3.618% (Viking Longboats 0.00001%)
Methane (CH4) 0.360% (Viking Farting 0.350%)
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) 0.950% (Viking Barbecues 0.002%)
CFC's 0.072% (Viking Hairspray 0.02%)

By the way, no matter what any tree hugger says, (or the bbc, or millibandit) water vapour is the major greenhouse gas by a massive amount and not co2

:D :D

Closer than you can possibly imagine :eek:

:D :D

Stuff the megaphone, talk's cheap and loud enough, all I need is the mandate then you'd have something to turn the news on FOR.

Another nail hit squarely on the head. :)

That is one of the funniest things I've read for a f*cking long time Wattsup. :cool:
