Could this be the most expensive plumber in Auckland?

[crazybigal]

check out this crazy fool! only in dorkland!

[ManDownUnder]

My first thought would be that he's going to charge too much - and choose someone else.

[Finn]

Good on him. It's obviously working cause I just tried to call him to fix my shitter. The line was busy.

[crazybigal]

hhaa classic!
i can just see it, "would you like the gold plated or silver toilet flusher sir?"

all the plumbers in dunedin drive bentleys

[Flyingpony]

I think it'll destroy his business, since I would view this has being a person who charges too much.

Then again, this also goes to prove I'm in the wrong business if he can afford a cash purchase of this machine after all other costs within 6 months of business.

Hmm, wonder if I can change careers and how long it'll take before I'm a registered dude ... being a plumber doesn't look like hard work, especially around 10am, 12pm and 3pm.

[RC1]

he could probabally claim it as a buisness expence so wont cost him fark all

[0arbreaka]

One word; Remuera

[vifferman]

$60/day for petroleum distillates!:shit:

Dude, read the article.

He was a property developer here and in the UK. He could undoubtedly have afforded to retire comfortably, but prefers to occupy himself with a trade.

Good on him, and I like his sense of humour.

I'm reminded of the London stockbroker in the news a few years back who had a 2-week break between jobs and spent it working on a rubbish truck because he didn't like sitting around doing nothing.

[bugjuice]

then I can charge for stuff like this!!

The plumber I can understand... the rubbish trucks? That guy is a munta... I've worked on them before and they stink enough to make any normal person wretch! I'll thinking I'll stick to code :yes:

[bugjuice]

Now now. We all know you're chasing the rainbow...

[jrandom]

He was a stockbroker, remember.

Morally speaking, the rubbish trucks would have been like taking a bubble bath.

You ain't never said 'no' to me yet, babe.

Gotta spread the bling before you get it again etc etc

[oldrider]

It's all about taking the risk, those that can do, those that can't teach and those that have not the slightest idea, grizzle to everybody else while they consume themselves with envy. :yes:

The latter two groups vote Labour (or some other left wing party) so that their government can legislate to punish the guy's like the plumber for making a profit from the risk he took and the hard work he did.

And so the beat goes on. :Punk: Clever plumber, in my book. :yes: John.

[Timber020]

I like his humour, and I can understand where he comes from, on my time off I sometimes do other jobs or types of work for shits and giggles. Operating diggers, bit of panelbeating, assisting in teaching. Even if I became rich I think I would still do what I do now, just be more picky on what jobs I do.

[Guitana]

Well contrary to poular beleif wading through a pool of rich persons shite is not as pleasant as one might think!!!Why not drive to the job in style.When you think about it hes a smart bastard he just got free advertising and every rich spanker in Auckland is probably gonna use him damn the cost.After all theres nothing more repulsive to a rich person than a hairy arsed geezer in low rider jeans with an arse crack like the manawatu gorge parking his oil dripping toyota hiace on the mansions drive!!!!!
The neighbours will never know you've blocked the sewer pipes in your Remuera Mansion after a hot curry at the local swanky indian restaurant!!Great disguise!!
He'll probably have a fleet of them this time next year,you just got my vote for tradie of the year!!
Good luck getting the shit stains out of the carpet at your next service and detail!!!!!

Oh yeah and to all you KBers out there be very wary of Bentleys going cheap in the next three years!!!

[LXS]

Yeah good on him for doing something different, goes to show you don't always have to follow the Jones's.

Any publicity is good publicity :rockon:
