  1. Big shoes, you was close.mind.
  2. You know what they say about men with big feet.
  3. I had a ship called dignity.
  4. Get some, although I dont have any, I wear Crocks indoor, with socks, because I'm a rebel.
  5. Never truer words spoken, I hate working, I get out of my pit at silly o'clock because I have to, not because I want to. If I had enough money I'd never work again, but I don't so I have to put the miles and hours in.
  6. I've been on my own a long time, most of the time work finds me. When it doesn't I'm on the phone for freelance work at the earliest opportunity.
  7. Fair point, although it wouldn't bother me if I was looking for contractors. Craig could have rang yesterday at a decent hour to arrange work for Monday, perhaps I've missed the point but if I was skint I'd be ringing folk at the earliest opportunity.
  8. Unless they've had the nuts weided on to stop them getting lifted for scrap.
  9. I'm lost on this one, do you want/need the graft to feed you and your family or not?
  10. Same age as me, all bar a few months. You ain't hungry anymore, were you ever? The man needs contractors, get down there and work with the man. I genuinely dindnt mean one of my earlier posts to sound harsh but I'm getting the feeling I should now, why haven't you spoken to him this afternoon? , if you are as skint as you say you are surely you would have rang him, I'm ranting because I've been hungry before, why aren't you getting out there?
  11. Have you rang him, what did he say?
  12. It's a fair argument.
  13. Ring the fella then and tell him your predicament, ask him politely if he can weigh you in each day to start with, that way you could get a B&B.
  14. Sleep in the car, you'll have a week of suffering. If the man has a decent bone in his body he'll pay you by the day to start with, it's not difficult. Do you honestly want the graft? No one ever said life was easy, are you shying away from this work because you can't afford to get there in the first place?
  15. Go down there once, do a weeks graft, ask the man if you can get the first days pay at the end of it to see you through, sleep in the van then get B&B, Plenty of bedding needed, but needs must. Beggars can't be choosers. That might sound harsh but it's not ment that way, get on and get a living. Crack on and get down there,
  16. It is a Abloy lock used by the water authority, smack it with a hammer and it'll fall apart. Failing that get an Abloy pick.
  17. Probably shouldn't poke my nose in but, Newcastle to Guisborough, hour?, if I didn't travel that far I wouldn't eat.
  18. Absolutely lashing it down for the last couple of hours.
  19. Yep, that's why she walked like a woman and talked like a man.
  20. There is a girl, I met in a club in old Soho where you drink Champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola. couldn't help it.
  21. Stop tormenting TVI, we don't want Stubbys misfortune ending in a ruck.
  22. If you didn't spend so much time arguing with folk on the internet you'd have more time to chat to friends all over the country, I'm out until tomorrow, got to call my mate in Ireland back.
  23. I'm sure those of us who don't have a tv have much better things to do with our time, this time of year I'd prefer to ramble on with friends all over the country on the phone than watch the box, conversation stimulates the mind.
  24. He should know better, the old git.
  25. Cross posted with similar views, mate.
