  1. Fair points.
  2. I'd never order frogs legs again, last time I ordered them they kicked all the chips of me plate.
  3. Acab! I haven't seen that for years, trademark tattooed across the fingers of the feral, the feckless and the long term useless back in the day.
  4. I was thinking the same earlier, when we buried my mate a few months back if anyone would of tried to stop people comforting his mother they would have ended up in the hole with my mate.
  5. Cornard?
  6. Cheers Rich, I got asked today but couldn't remember.
  7. You'd have looked just bonnie in that back in the day, I'm sure.
  8. Remind me what towing weight we lost from our license when we sent them away years back, on a 7.5t.
  9. Hang on, Hancock announced that PHE had been pulled out of track n trace weeks back and it was all being outsourced to third party contractors.
  10. Prisons have been locked down for months, they'll spend 23 hours a day behind their doors and be out in a week.
  11. No.
  12. The bit about, "how many arbs are in your area" always makes me smile, It's a bit like buying a new car and then noticing there are loads of them about. How many drainage vans do you see about?, very few I would think?, yet in the village I live in there are three of us to my knowledge.
  13. When I used to freelance on site the rules still stood, half a day Saturday for a full days money, in affect double time. Price work is totally different, if anyone is quoting price work they should be pricing in a better rate for weekends. Or they can join the race to the bottom.
  14. When I worked the sites almost every trade was freelance, Saturday was always bonus day. Start about 8ish and be away by 12:00, weighed n paid.
  15. You've been in the joinery trade all these years and never been on a site Saturday mornings from 08:00-12:00 and got a full days money? T'was standard issue when I did site work.
  16. Possibly because if you compared it with the trades you mention the argument wouldn't stand up. In the 25 years I was on the books for different companies I was always paid 1.5 or double for working weekends.
  17. Glad you've got it gobby, I can only presume there was much swearing involved.
  18. If you need any more of the wet stuff n grey skies I've got loads of it I would be happy to send your way.
  19. Very true although this one wasn't really a drinker, her father on the other hand who was a professional jokey was a raving alcoholic. Those long dark nights need filling somehow.
  20. Used to kick about with one for 7 years, in fact she's the reason I stayed in Suffolk. Just don't let them loose on the red wine, turns the nicest Swedish lass into a feisty little piece of work.
  21. Tw*ts the pair of 'em, I'm not one for advocating people loosing their job, but she needs to collect her cards, I don't really care about Stanley not wearing a covering, but it doesn't set a great example.
  22. One rule for the plebs... Where's this chaps fine?
  23. I can't remember what it feels like having dashing good looks, bit like the fella in the above photo, I presume.
  24. Can't wait for the pictures, oh, and tell your youngest son not to lean on your handy work.
