Forty Year Old Businessman Tells All.

As many of you know, I am no longer with the postal service. I am now a 40 year old businessman.

One part of my business is the hauling away of rubbish. I go to peoples' houses, load their crap into my trailer and they give me fat skads of cash. Most people's crap is just that, crap. Yesterday, however, a customer gave me some very prime crap indeed.

Not only did they offer me a cold drink and a hand loading the trailer (both of which I declined thankyou very much), they also gave me:
-a Bailey Industrial Extending Ladder (3.7m extends to 5.1m),
-a four person dome tent (better than the one my beloved already owns which is currently on loan of unspecified duration to brother-in-law),
-new storage crates for the van,
-four beech folding garden chairs (at least one of which I intend to spend tomorrow night in, happy new year everybody),
-various gardening implements(to be used by my business),
-lengths of chain (various link sizes),
-some nifty plumbing gear,
-assorted handy stuff of no consequence,
-an irrigation system,
-the dearest little skateboard,
-and (strap yourselves into the green seat of envy everybody) a fuck-off-big Dawn engineering vice.

Did I mention they also gave me money?

On an entirely unrelated note, if anybody wants to borrow, rent or buy a Bailey Industrial Extending Ladder(3.7m, flops out to be a real beauty*) feel free to contact me.

Lucky bastard!

I have a bunch of green waste - trimmed branches, garden stuff - that needs carting away... am I within your area?

You might be surprised...

Ooh, does the nifty plumbing gear include a kitchen tap with an outside thread, or an adapter to turn one with an inside thread into one with an outside thread?

Happy birthday anyway.

My storage space downstairs is full of ladders, but thanks anyway.
