hi sean you having neck problems already fellah?do you think its caused by poling?im 39 now and my shoulders are building up and im getting a neck like tysons after 6 months wfp!!no neck problems though.

hope it gets better soon pal.its frustrating not being able to work esp when you have a lot on.its really chucking it down here and windy just like yesterday.

ill be able to work all day tommorrow and saturday though so a 4 day week is not so bad earnings wise.


best wishes
