  1. Lovely, could you show them the way to Sudbury? I'm sure they are about here, but I haven't seen any for a good while.
  2. I can't remember the last time I saw an English Partridge around these parts.
  3. No.
  4. My brother had a fizzer brand new, cost him £199 with 1 years tax and insurance. He did have a look at getting one a few years back... until he found out what sort of money they are making.
  5. Les, if wit was shit you'd be constipated.
  6. Bloody French leaving their oversized shotties about, it's a bleeding good job it got fired away from you/the machine. Wait till Les sees this, he'll have one of his hilarious gags about playing with your balls at work.
  7. Correct, and the same money when not using my equipment, hand/power tools aside.
  8. We are supposed to know if he's looking for a hot hatch or a 4 door saloon to get the kids in the back, or a 4x4 to get about in the countryside. No snide comments mind. Oh well. that didn't last long. I think he just likes looking at pictures and dreaming of... only if.
  9. My eldest brother had one, iirc you and him are only few years part.
  10. That's probably gone well over his head.
  11. Did you read the job advert?
  12. Indeed, one of those blokes who knew his onions and had a classic sense of humour.
  13. I watched one of his shows years ago, the person interviewing him asked, "What was the worst day you had when you were a steeplejoke? He replied, "it was when I'd climbed to the top of the tower and realised I'd forgotten my cigarettes"😂
  14. I think it could be Special Brew, because he's very special.
  15. I'm proud to say I have the same shovel I had when I did my apprenticeship, it's still like new.
  16. How long after the mewp got bogged down were you aware of the situation? If it was hours after, why weren't you told earliear? What did you advise the lads on site to do when you did find out about the situation? As for your original question, I wouldn't dream of asking for payment if lads I employed 'lost' a day through at least one of theirs actions. It seems you want to charge someone for one of your employees cock up's, surely you know that isn't the way forward?
  17. ‘Bloody foreigners, staying over there avoiding our jobs’ bemoans Wetherspoons’ Tim Martin NEWSTHUMP.COM Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin has today criticised the EU for raising a load of workshy fops unwilling to come over... Smiley.
  18. She was a dirty bugger.
  19. My mates a farmer, he had to diversify so he started growing dildos, big mistake, he ended up with squatters
  20. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Now swap out duck for (add your own expletive) and you've got the likes of Tim Martin.
  21. I'm absolutely gutted he's struggling to find staff.
  22. I will keep it in mind if I do feel the urge to murder someone, "yes my Lord, Stubby on the interweb said it was ok to murder people on a Wednesday if I'd got these socks on", I'm sure that would cover it.
  23. I'm a lot more risk averse now I'm getting older, I'll stay in the box, just in case.
  24. It is a Wednesday and I've got blue socks on, should I stay home this evening?
  25. The big sites will turn a blind eye when it suits them, I was working for another company a while back on a Bloor homes site, one of the company's new lads didn't have a CSCS card, when he was knocked back we said we are off then, the bloke running the site soon changed his mind.
