"Mates Rates"

Foolish · 13-02-2005, 08:02 PM

322 Members = 322 different trades

whats the first thing you do when you need something ......yellow pages, google or your "little black book"

How about an idea of what you all do for a living ?

It's obvious from the posts that if it has anything to do with "boat's" there is probably someone here that could help, but who.. ?

i dont mean "my grass needs cutting" or "my cars broke down" but if i was to need a new "Prop" or some "repairs to my hull" who should i call ?

Unfortunately i cannot offer any "Marine" help myself , but will offer very good rates to anyone that mentions "Boatmad" on any computer repairs / peripherals or Data recovery ( my speciality )

also good contacts for : Graphic's, boat Importing(USA) & GPS

( as an example i met someone at the "video night" who was willing to take out "Mrs not so foolish" for some boating lessons (away from the river) with "real" waves etc

( yes i still have your number

)

I am also quite good at getting bits for ribs cheap and I can usually lay my hands on a 30 ton lorry load of aggregate/sand or and readymix.

looks like i'm gonna have to spend me extra ££££ on "Google"

Taz · 15-02-2005, 09:48 PM

Mr Foolish will be unavailable to comment to any more posts for the forseeable future (i don't need mooring bollards but the readymix would come in handy!!)
