when i was living in nelson, i used to get a guy called
ANDY (..yep great name that!!!) to work on my bucket, good rates!
now where does he live?...
well the last time i saw him was was working from home, just down the road from the "black Cat"... past the new round-about and over the "bridge".. and a couple of houses down from there... if you get to parkers rd, you have gone about 500m too far.....

hope this helps

while being dicked around by my sister's friends van with blown head gasket I came across her motorbike store which I won't name but she mentioned that she pays them in fresh herbs. Seemed like nice guys keen for a chat. Couldn't believe it when the fella with crooked teeth goes 'South America eh. I'd love to go to Chile, really amazing geography...'. In Mot though.

actually they're probably bloody cheap labour too. Do you want me to ask my sister to give them a call or is it too far? (a bit easier for me to do 40kmh when I have no job kids etc.)
