The amount of work you currently do is inadequate to be able to make a straightforward certification that you can be sure every clients wants in place; it will be interesting if you contest this given what you have already shared.

Really what you're saying is that you're a member of one of the pseud-professional groups; the folk that call themselves professionals, that do their best most of the time, but who ultimately can't be relied upon when things go wrong and who don't stand to lose many pennies if they act with negligence. A bit like real-estate agents I suppose.

Surely you mean like the some or perhaps all of the different types of people an insurance company employs?

<no brand!> nails has just come out with a nail (surprise) that acts in accordance with NZS3604, this is all stuff you already know, of course. So if i specify timber to be joined by a galv framing product in accordance with NZS3604 and a contractor picks those bad boys, jesus be praised, it was all built honky dory!

But, oh no! 3 years later it all fell to pieces because the nails were shit and have been withdrawn from use within B1 and B2, but that's okay! Someone has personally warrantied it! Hurray, we can seek reparations from him!

So, Yea, just like a real estate agent.

But in all seriousness, GT, you are as thick as the two boards to be jointed.

edit: err shouldn't mention names.

سماحه = 'allowing' in Arabic

It isn't the same though. Probably typoed. Ask the user to repost.

A Corpse · 3rd July 2012, 15:53

Yeah I saw the corrected translation suggestion. I figured if there's someone someone who actually speaks the language they might be able to explain any alternate meanings to it rather than a direct translation.

chiquelet · 3rd July 2012, 16:59

Not guilty. Wow. A victory for sociopaths?

Juju · 3rd July 2012, 17:04

No, a victory for a fair legal system. Even if he did do it.

i figured he wouldnt get done. my gut feeling is that he is guilty, but you cant put someone away for life for a gut feeling, and they had fuck all evidence.

Yeah, I mostly agree, although like a lot of people I would have liked to put him away based on my gut.

Although wouldn't a judge have also come to a "reasonable doubt" conclusion, gut or not?

leadinjector · 3rd July 2012, 17:18

yeah, i was referring to your comment, not the outcome, which i agree with.

most people are fuckwits. would not want 12 fuckwits deciding my future tbh.

OJ didn't let that stop him (for his murder charge, anyway).

leadinjector · 3rd July 2012, 17:26

yeah although his blackness was canceled out somewhat by his super famousness

aR Que · 10th July 2012, 16:38

I don't make everything sound like a question, because i never ask questions, because i never not know, what i need to know. FACT.

Someone's kid is at work (i suspect it's the boss mans) which means i'm allowed to bring my dog to work (because i totally asked the missus if i could, she said, no, cause it'd be like bringing a kid, so, BOOM, dogs allowed.) anyway.
He's playing minecraft on a spare PC, i know what minecraft is, though i've never played it, because, as above, i just know. In true style i trolled him in the usual ways
'You winning?'
'It's not a winning game'
'Oh, so you're not winning'
etc.
kid got pretty mad. Guess i wont be getting a raise. :/

p01s0n · 10th July 2012, 16:46

we had someones kid come in last week cause school holidays
he mum like "do you guys mind looking after this guy?" and we're like "lol we aint babysitters but we'll set him up with a game or something he can play on a spare machine"
