I found a meme looking round the internet the other day and it suits this thread down to the ground. I had to laugh in the queue at the supermarket when a lad went past in his check flannel and blue cut off jeans with beard and topknot with head shaved up the sides, tan work boots. The young woman in front of me looked at him and after he passed she said "knob". I nearly cracked up.

I predict the next big thing in self-developement for men will be actual lumberjack camps for recovering lumbersexuals. Real Work - the final frontier... Pay through the nose-ring to camp out with other web developer guys in the woods, learn to do manly things with axes and maybe build something out of logs. All under the fatherly care of a genuine retired lumberjack.

'next big thing'? I have a contract up at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum (176 acres), big firms like HSBC, Citi Group etc. pay the museum to send their top brass there to work along side us groundsmen for the day on team building exercises. Basically they turn up in their finest North Face jackets, cargo pants, and shiny new work (style) boots, and designer stubble for a days hard graft with the men, lambs to the slaughter:thumbup:

Priceless :thumbup:

 

We had a factory manager at the factory I used to work in who suggested a grounds clean up on a Saturday morning, paid as overtime. I took up the offer and sure enough on the morning of the clean up there he was in jeans and safety boots. I was sceptical to say the least but credit where it's due he mucked right in, even in the worst places like right down in the stream and the icing on the cake was that he had 2 department managers with him (a couple of c..... to put it bluntly). A free fry up was on offer and when we met up to go to the canteen there he was with hands looking like he's been gathering spuds.

 

I was well impressed right up to the point where he washed his hands before eating...... :biggrin:
