  1. I’ve always called them idiot spanners. I have 2 or 3 in the truck like, obviously.

    Absolutely! It’s like repeatedly hitting yourself in the nuts with a hammer for a while. It’s great when you stop!
  3. No. They are just different words for ‘lie’.
  4. Just buy some decent plugs to wear under your muffs.

    I’d agree with most of that Conor, a good freelance climber is a good bang for buck earner, albeit with a limited shelf life. Not many will make it into their 40’s, let alone 50’s. The only insurance you might want to have is personal accident. Anything else is bollocks.

    If she’s worried about the hours I would say she’s looking at the wrong career. As Mick says they tend to be normal, but on crappy hedgecutting jobs they can feel like 30-hour days.

  10. Aye, the government always gets in.
  11. I have to disagree Doug. If you can’t be bothered to get off your arse and vote then I don’t think you’re entitled to an opinion. It’s like the people who come to watch my kids football moaning about the cold because they couldn’t be bothered to put a jumper and a jacket on. It’s -2 and you’re wearing a t-shirt? Sympathy level is pretty low.
  12. That’s not how it works though. I didn’t vote for the twats, but we live in a democracy. Anyone who didn’t vote has forfeited their right to complain for the next five years.

  14. I think a few of those boxes have been ticked for years Rich!
  15. Target market is 20 year olds in Surrey doing overstood buddleia.
  16. Brilliant! Shall we meet at Birchanger Green services? 💪
  17. Hope the MAN comes in at a reasonable price for you Stu. Seems like a good option.
  18. You know they need batteries and charger don’t you? You didn’t, did you? You thought you were getting a right bargain!
  19. Thanks for the heads-up on this mate, just picked one up. Marked as £39 on the shelf, but £22 at the till. Result! Still in the box as it will be my birthday present from the kids.

  21. Spot on 5th, drop it in the right direction now while it’s still relatively easy. And safer.
  22. First 2 in donkeys this morning, lucky first word helped. Yesterday’s 4th word was interesting, can’t believe it wasn’t rejected, especially by Yanks. Not a bad starting word either! S,T and 2 vowels.
  23. That’s great if they will pay it, but I bet they’re not obliged to?
