  1. To be fair lads, Cummings should have been arrested a long time ago by the fashion police.
  2. What an idiot. It’s not from London, it’s from Chynah.
  3. Ah, thanks Joe. Nicely done Andy. I’ve got two cubes. When I’ve made an arse of it with both I put my spikes on.
  4. Andy I just don’t get it? Can you explain better what’s going on? Anything that helps with throwline fuckonery is a definite winner!
  5. Sounds like a very familiar story, back in the day. Before lockdown.
  6. FFS you just can’t win with some people can you? Do you not think it makes sense to test you as well in the circumstances? Unless you’ve not been within 2m of her, in which case I congratulate you on the size of your penis.
  7. 4. People (like me) who aren’t overly bothered about contracting it themselves, but would prefer not to spread it around, especially to people who are higher risk. Mate has just come out of ICU after 5 weeks on a ventilator. The other 2 people in his room (42 and 46) went out the other door. I’m getting on with my life, but I’m not begging for the pubs to open yet either.
  8. Second shot is brilliant mate. Nice to see folk with a sense of humour.
  9. Everyone knows in the future HMRC will be gunning for a load of hairy-arsed tree climbers who have taken this cash. It will be their absolute top priority.
  10. This is all hypothetical, I’ve had a few drinks. No access for machines and won’t pay for machines are two different things? I totally understand you walking away from this job mate, I would have sprinted. ’Accept minimal damage to shed = have your pants down if a flake of sawdust touches it’. Chancers mate, they live and breathe. Previous advice has been spot on. You were right to walk, I wouldn’t look back. BUT Hypothetically this was for your best client. Money no object and genuinely no machine access for crane, tracked MEWP etc.? How would you do it? That split is nasty. It could close or widen at any point. It’s not 35’ either, look at the butt.
  11. Tried to use ours tonight Tommy, we’ve supported them all the way through. I despise the Chinese regime and their lies, but even I’m not thick enough to take it out on people who work hard, integrate well, and haven’t been to CHYNA! for 30 years. 3 hour waiting list, mind, so we had kebabs instead.
  12. 250,000 dead and the NHS totally collapsed but hurrah! we can go for a pint! Loads of twats in Hyde Park today fighting your corner though.
  13. Sorry, I’ve been drinking Budweiser.
  14. No biggy. Me and my crew could have that done in a couple of hours. MS200T yeah! - best saw ever! What are the best jeans for tree work? I’m thinking of giving new-skool a go, how do you tie a Blake’s hitch? Why do you Limey pussies wear helmets?
  15. Fucktards queued for a finger lickin’ 4 hours in Kent earlier this week. Executing anyone more than 10 mins back in that queue would have improved the gene pool a lot. KFC rubbish already appeared in car park next to local woods. Pure scum. I’m not anti-KFC at all, I enjoy a dirty treat now and then, but they are taking the piss. Number plate printed on every wrapper through the drive through, automatic £1000 fine for every piece picked up not in a bin. Sharp see a change then. Dirty bastards.

    Booze

    Nearly everyone I know is. I’m probably drinking the same as ever, but spreading it out over the week a bit more, I’m a traditional Thu-Sun caner.
  17. I’m all for everyone getting back to work wherever possible (I never stopped), but to think C19 only affects coffin dodgers and fatties is simplistic in the extreme. A massive second peak would be horrendous. Childcare is an obvious issue for many, and just throwing open the school gates would be crazy. The economic effect must be considered, but all this has made me think that the Bransons and Bezos et al could be doing a lot more in the future, and I’m far from being a Corbynite.
  18. Everyone going back to work would be a bigger disaster.
  19. Thanks Donnk. That’s the most depressing thing I’ve read this year.
  20. Shame the concrete blocks weren’t placed on the Jimny really.
  21. You don’t half get through some graft Big Lad. Better looking since I last saw you as well.
