who should be working...

I know I should be working but I keep logging back in here to post or read, how many of the rest of you are meant to be gerring some work done?

Who is in an actual office (not home office, one that has a boss) and has to minimize the screen depending on who walks past.

Haha, yes technically I should be working, but no boss.

Technically I should be fast asleep between night shifts.

Unfortunately I am off work on the injury roster until the New Year.
Work have advised me I can't return until I have seen the Occ. Health team on the 6th January.

Hope the injury is not too bad, might as well enjoy the extended break, I take it you enjoyed a beer with breakfast!

I should be working,But its our winter season and although the weather is good its not the time for sailshades, Roll on may.

On the plus side, I still get welding work.

P.S. If anyone wants a sailshade give us a call

I've sub-contracted a few sailshades over the years Chris but over here they tend to get vandalised unless they're for domestic use.

That is a worldwide problem breeze (Kids will be kids) oh sorry, i meant cunts. As you will know they are not meant to be set on fire etc,etc. But as a product for school play areas they are fantastic.
But there is always the risk of vandals. At the moment most of my work (sailshade side) has been for domestic use, And mainly spanish/german clients. They just seem more open to the idea style wise.

I had chat with a guy on his hols over here, He might have some ideas for you. He owns a company called Arc-Can,His name is colin putick, He is a very forward thinking fella, maybe he has an answer to the vandal problem........

I have a feeling I spoke with him a couple of years back when he was first starting up but after looking at the products I saw they just couldn't survive in the sort of places we work. It's a real shame because they look fantastic and the prices are always good.

I have a copy of his new brochure here, And your right his stuff is realy well engineered, Maybe you could ask for his ideas for your probs, Hey you never know, He could have a shade made of chainmail...........

Does he have anything made from the skin of exploited African slave children?

Only on his sofa, walls, and kitchen cooker splashback......

But no carpet though...let's face it it, who needs the kids under your feet all day and night?

Chris, where are you based ? If we were staying in our house we would definitely get something like your product. We have a huge outdoor deck, which is about 22 x 22, and when the heat builds up it can be unbearable. Last sumer we had a couple of days in the 40 degree range which was not fun.

Back to the question...I do all my posting in the evening as we can't get onto messageboards at work.

Admit it Wendy you are like me, too conscientious right? I mean we have economies to keep moving along and all that good stuff.

Pete, we live in lanzarote, I know that you can buy them in canada as sail shade world have dealers/instalers worldwide.

If you type in sailshades in canada you will find loads for sure....

Thanks Chris, I once visisted Fuertaventura (sp) a number of years ago, it was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it especially the nude beaches, except for the few Beluga Whales that had beached!!

Hey pete, Are you sure they were Whales and not German tourist?

Spot on Chris, Husband and Wife in their late 20's, baby, and the mother-in-law, not a pretty sight!!!

I could murder for a beer.
No alcohol has passed these, dry pursed lips for over 2 weeks due to being on anti-bionics.

Now that really is a kick in the nads, time off and not able to turn it into beer time!
