  1. Where I come from there’s this type of car snobbery, as in you will hear people judging people every day if they don’t have some kind of almost new and/or flash motor……the important bit is, none of them have a pot to piss in and anyone with half a brain knows it but they just want to look like they do…..it’s f***ing weird ! So refreshing then when I moved here because that type of car snobbery just don’t exist, at all !……nobody gives a f**k if you have a brand new €100k Land Cruiser or a 20 year old Skoda with the back doors held shut with bailing string ! The roads are shite, the ca
  2. My wife works caring for adults with intellectual disabilities (yes, she has had a lot of practice before anyone says it ! lol ) and I must relate an amazing conversation she had with a new member of staff at work yesterday…… A Kenyan lady has joined the service and yesterday my wife and her got chatting, the Kenyan said to my wife “Is that accent from Essex ?” So my wife says “Yeah, how did you know” and the Kenyan said this: ”Before I moved here me and my family were living in Medway for 5 years but we had to leave England because it’s too dangerous now” She went on “There’s t

    Imho, you are spot on and the people giving you advice are deluded pricks making up fairy tales !
  4. Nice mate, fair play to him to keep going and growing, it’s a hard market to compete in. Ive had a few pals with decent, long standing firms pack up in the last few years but they were commercial/office interiors rather than domestic…..what with working from home and business keeping their money in the bank then add all the extra taxes they just couldn’t see a future. Furnitures a hard one because you need such big square footage to start with and that’s a big expense as you know. Nice to see a lad pushing on and doing well.

    Those automatic headlights !……people who use them should be thrown in the sea !
  6. Fair mate, decades since I had anything to do with stuff like that so I genuinely don’t know.
  7. Exactly like that mate, I used to work a 3 & 1 gang, muck, bricks, blocks and clean up…..I was about 18 ? I have to say, I don’t know if it’s a thing but most (not all) brick layers used to be total pricks…..I was on a job in tower hamlets knocking my pan in and these 3 c**ts was taking the piss and I ended up losing my temper and was chasing them round the scaffold with the shovel, at that moment I’d have cut their f***ing heads off……absolute f***ing pig ignorant trappy c**ts. Funny having a little gathering down below all shouting “calm down, don’t do it” lol The best gang
  8. Do you know his story mate ? He was/is a teacher and was suspended from his job for not buying into the trans gender mental illness…. He then turned up for his job every day saying that it’s wrong he was suspended, they got a restraining order against him and he kept turning up and was nicked. This has been going on for 2 years or so now and he won’t back down. Look at how they have him in chains…..f***ing disgusting ! This is what people keep voting for !!
  9. You have to sell a few chairs to pay the rates on that thing mate ! What sort of stuff does he do ?

    Big recruitment drive for the guards at the minute isn’t it mate, at least the government know what’s coming with all this mass immigration and are trying to get in front of the curve.
  11. My boy does labouring for a brickwork firm in the holidays, make me chuckle when he says “I’m knackered, we had to Load out the scaffolding today” and I’m like “All carried up a ladder ?” And he looks at me like I’m mad and says “Well, no, the bloke with the tele handler puts the packs up there but we have to move them !” lol f***ing tele handler indeed ! lol
  12. Yeah, did that job myself as a kid, on railways jobs everything was massively over engineered and we did a few jobs with those 9inch 7 newton concrete blocks building storage sheds out of them ! f***ing murder, I wouldn’t even try and pick one up now days never mind spend a week moving a thousand of the f***ing thing’s ! I think they banned them in the end ??…..they must have weighed 75lb each.

    It was 5 o’clock in the morning on the way to the Murphy’s pick up point ! lol
  14. So, as I remember a pack is what ? 400/500……I think I remember LBCs being about 344 ? So that works out about 800 to 1200 per thousand ? Is that right ? Some profiles and flat flanks and you’d be earning at that mate surely ? For the blocks, that’s don’t seem like great money that especially for concrete…..200 of those f***ing things a day for less than £200 !…..they could shove that up their arse ! lol
  15. Wow, I thought it would be 6 minimum now days mate.
  16. Emission from my uncles old cortina consisted of the smell of whisky and fags wafting out the window as he drove round town at a 10000000 mph absolutely battered ! lol We used to call him “Monty” (as in General Montgomery) on account of he was the youngest brother and had missed the war so did national service instead ! He would pull up to my pals in town and say “need a lift lads” absolutely reeking of Jonny Walker and my pals were all like “No thanks Monty, we will walk !” lol
  17. And they could be mended with a spanner and not a quantum super computer and £18 million quid in parts ! lol
  18. That surprises me mate, what they paying price work per 1000 for ordinary face work, like housing estate stuff ?
  19. Just to see how busy we was then mate, all at something, communities alive and thriving…..nice isn’t it.

    I’m talking about the Provo’s mate not the original IRA.
  23. Brings a whole new meaning to “Do you fancy an Indian tonight ?” lol
  24. As they say, many a truth told in jest…..we stopped training tradesmen years ago and have reaped the fallout of that. Now all the people with degrees are serving coffee and the lad with no exams and a trowel is copping two grand a week ! kismet !
