    Working Contract

    You are being offered a contract of employment which essentially means you can accept or decline it. It used to be (from memory) 13 weeks for you to make your mind up. If you don't accept the terms and your contract, you won't have a job. Legal route for recourse is a nightmare imo. [1] [2]...

    Tempting fete, not for the faint hearted WARNING GRAPHIC!!

    Definately a good reminder to me. I got a nick on an index finger from a powering down electric hand planer last year. I couldn't believe it (for about 0.5 seconds) that I had allowed that to happen. Hope it heals OK for you.
