Seems one of my ex colleagues done a cracking job of parking his crane upside down this morning.

thankfully he was ok and only suffered minor injuries, dented pride and shi*ty underpants.

Must be the start of another Ice age. Mammoths being killed off again. Serious though, lucky escape.

Hi Paul.

I was head hunted by the Blue and Yellow team. Currently i am on garden leave (decorating duties and start with Ainscough on 14th November.

Mammoet UK, i wouldnt be suprised if theyre only here in a small prescence by the beginning of the new year. Theyve got rid of so many cranes in the last 6 months.

The oppurtunity couldnt have come at a better time for me. I was quite expecting a letter regarding redundancys before christmas.

Onwards and upwards eh.... Smile

Oh, goodness me, well I guess if it's worked out for the best and Mammoet UK are looking a little shaky with even the possibility of a redundancy letter then making the move was probably the best thing to do.

Onwards and upwards indeed!.
