I just knew it - I did know you from somewhere: you're that ************** who sold me my last car

Denn

well you really needed that car you said so "I REALLY WANT THIS CAR" is what you said so I said "Look mate its a peice of crap seriously the floorpans got rust you can see the road under your feet so much ol Fred Flinstone would be right at home in it, the steering wheel comes of in your hands the gear stick pops out in 2nd the mirrors drop and well the seat is non adjustable from flat down and way back YOU DONT WANT THIS CAR" but you persisted "YOU DONT KNOW ME! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I WANT" and I said "mate all I know is you dont want this car" Then you said "Bloody stinking car salesmen give me the utter shytes" so I said

"look lets take a gander at this one over here mate... a lovely pre 1950 ex Peter Brock king of the mountain Torana mate shes a bloody rippa got a 256 double overhead V12 motor from a Jag straight from the mother country shes got crossflow manifolds out is tailpipes JUST LOOKAT IT! and owned by me own grandmother! tottled down to the shops in it used only once a month and garaged in the chook house with the 150 chooks for the rest of the time comes without wheels tyres gearbox or axles yours for a bloody good price" You mate then hummed and haaed all over the shop so what was I to do eh?

I sold you the car!!! man bloody customers damned ungrateful buggars... here I am just doin me job an tryin to earn a decent wage floggin GOOD vehicles to the punters an all I gets is bloody insults...

ahem I know I am I only paid the cost of the car trailer to get it to the yard from a bloke who thought I was a car wrecker!! Brillaint business this


NO seriously Ive been givin this blokes new ubeaut workbench a bit of thought since I wrote my resume up there... oh I havent heard from him yet ...bit of a worry when you think about it since ol Kev made megga bucks with just that style

And I wonder why he hasnt posted any pics of this wonderous workbench here yet? I mean this is wood workbench HEAVEN this forum if its gonna be shown anywhere it should be RIGHT HERE... but Im still prepared to go with it... he also hasnt yet told me how much per hour hes gonna pay me for me time an effort... but Im still prepared to give it me best shot I do need a new career path


Anyways Im waitin Im here Im ready Im willing... and nothing but silence?? yeah typical bloody employer!!

Triton and others generally offer their demonstrators "freebies" as well as cash payment for demonstrations. In other words, you provide your demonstrators with say your workbench and accessories to use in their own homes (quickest way for them to become super-familiar with the products) which they get to keep as their own PROVIDED they continue to be available as demonstrators. Are you offering something similar?????? or just cash and the goods stay at Bunnings/ local distributor????????

Triton approached me via my woodworking club as did Vermont American - going back a few years now. Didn't take up the offer but a scan of the VA catalogue fills me with regret!!!!!!!!!!

Look forward to seeing the product....any previews available on the Net????

Chippygal on the Tweed

oooh geeez now that hurts... a chippygal in Tweeds gets an offer like that and sob I sob Ive NEVER gotten an offer an this nob wont answer me or talk to us ...strewth I think Im gonna go eat worms now

I mean strike me roan... offer you the tools AND money?? GOOD GREIF!!! someone show me how to rope these offers in!!!

As i am just an apprentice at this whole forum / blog thing please excuse me for not following the correct forum procedure
Sorry i havent got back to the people that have sent PMs and posts been a busy week.
Will endeavour to get back to people early next week.
TV ads go to air on the weekend so the product will be out there for people to see.
Happy to get feed back from men/ women with your experience with wood working products. How is the best way to do this .... short of giving away heaps of product ?
Happy to donate one for a prize draw on this forum??
Also committed the the wood show in Melbourne so product will be on display there for you to evaluate.
Product also in Bunnings now under Kincrome Zoom ,so happy for people to post there thoughts on this forum and i will respond .
If i can answer any more questions , post and i will respond

good onya. thats a really good way to get cheap advertising to a wide range of ww across the country

another way is a web site

Looked on Bunnings website and searched but couldn't find this product. Looked elsewhere but could only find a Kincrome workbench that has a steel frame and a 39mm top...... Surely THAT doesn't warrant a nation-wide ad campaign? Maybe the "Zoom" is something special?????? The anticipation is killing me!!!!!! Gotta be one somewhere on the Net that I can look at???? In the meantime I'll just go back to the shed and make shavings until all is revealed.....

Done the same thing Kerry could only come up with spanners wrenches and such and a couple of adds for a metal workbench???

Maybe if you hoist a pic in here Darren?

I mean if Im gonna stand out like dogs knuts at Bunnys and flog these things then I bedda know what they look like right? RIGHT!!

Oh in light of workplace agreement policies and fairness... I will accept a workbench AND $25 per hour I will work 5 hours a day 5 days a week 2 hours on Saturdays at double time any other hours at triple time (hours of work are my choice) I will of course require one half hour break every 2 hours of work and one meal per shift provided at your cost you will also supply PPE including but not restricted to gloves (if needed) eye protection (if needed) ear protection (if required) and uniforms including steel capped boots... I will cover fuel costs

Now thats fair aint it? All I want is a fair go mate thats all everyones entitled to a fair go eh mate! ... gawd I LOVE those bloody adds!!


Ooops I just noticed in the "New Product Releases" a "Zone Hardware Mahogany Workbench
F/L 5820075"... nah you said Zoom... buggared if I can find it then

Not sayin or implyin your pullin our chain just that I cant find the thing!! So bein as were pretty visiual sorta people and your askin us to stand up and flog them for you how about a pic of one eh? that would be good you know???

Cheers

Shane, somehow I do not think that this is what Johnny meant by "work choices" . Maybe little Kev would make those arrangements compulsory eh.
