Who needs a man to clear snow?? The only 'man' you need is John Deere with a blade on the front for winter and a mower deck for summer ;)

Get a chain saw fer yer logs (or a hunky neighbour with a big chopper ;) ) and yer set :thumbsup:

She also wants a 'pool boy'... next she'll be wanting a gardener... and a plumber and an electrician and yes, a hunky neighbour with a big chopper. Pretty soon she'll be sending FedEx parcels to herself so the local delivery man with the nice package knocks on her door. I know her type. All too well.... :unsure: ;)

Okay ladies you've got me sussed. But worth a try, hey? :rofl:

I am truly flattered. Well I would be, if I didn't get the impression that the big draw is the beer rather than my feminine wiles. Story of my life. :rofl:

Mrs_P won't let me anywhere near a snow shovel or the bloody lawn mower, I think she's worried about my pension cheque. ;):p:rofl:

Justifiably so I'm afraid.:blink::(

Thank you for your interest in this position.
Please forward your resume and references by PM detailing relevant experience and qualifications. First interviews will be held in Vancouver in the summer. Only successful applicants will be contacted. Full role profile available upon request. :rofl::p

My sudden, supreme, and frankly unexpected, eligibility means I have to resort to a strict recruitment process. I'm working on an outline of the benefits package but it will include beer allowance and full use of a John Deere snow blower on Sundays.:rofl:
