I'm not arguing but don't you think that that is one long and heavy post for this time in the afternoon on a Monday?
Why do you come on PH if you're not willing to get involved in a good argument???
Debates, even heated ones, are great fun. Arguing is what you do before you walkout the door or they do.

Anyway my position is that that is far too long and involved a post to debate about on a Monday.
Bah humbug!

I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
That wasn't five minutes .......

If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.

I think I'll go next to door to abuse instead.

My Dad works for me and he's like this when he's in a bad mood.

I'll explain how a certain job is going to unfold and he will just nit pick all through it, things like:-
  • Questioning the quantity calculations
  • Questioning the time frame
  • Questioning the working method
  • Questioning the quality of certain items/materials
  • Questioning the selection of certain equipment for a site etc.
Annoys the fk out of me, especially as when I ask "well what do you suggest?" he normally replies with "I don't know, but....". Now I realise it only happens when he's in a bad mood, I just ignore all his attempts to cause confrontation hehe
