Bad habits

[Gary Prentice]

Oils and maybe petrol can cause some serious health problems, or so I was told, when applied to the genitals.

That probably is about used engine oils and oily rags in pockets causing cancer of the scrotum in you mechanics, it's the first recognised industrial cancer discovered in young chimney sweeps as the PICs in engine oil and soot are similar.

I'm 63 now and there's a rookery here where we used to climb up to the nests when I was a kid. We used to take 6" nails to get up to the bottom branches and knock them in with a brick, sorry if anyone ever gets the job of taking them down. I don't know if it's an illusion but they look taller now than they used to then.

 

We did much the same to build tree camps on the common, I go back to find the scots pines but they are quite different now 55 years on.

Also this urgent need to go as you become older is amplified by the sound of running water,

 

Which is why they leave a tap running in the post natal ward.

 

With the risk of dehydration and resulting kidney stones I have a dilemma when on track. The younger guys will go all day and not take a drink but I can't manage more than a couple of hours nowadays. If I don't drink I have a raging headache by mid day.

- I used to top conifers this way before I splashed out on climbing gear.

I don't like chainsaw trousers and the main reason I wear them on occaision is busy body neighbours like the greedy tool who shopped this bloke, 'I'm an assessor, better do the right thing and tell the HSE' nothing to do with him and his job of being well paid for not doing much, just bullying people into being funneled into the lucrative assessment system

That links broken mate - looks ok (and if you cut and paste it would work) but the underlying link is missing a colon.

No, I came across it somewhere else but can't remember where.

So you're happy competing against the Cowboys in the industry?
