If you learn the hard way , you remember the lesson mate . I learned pretty early on , that nobody was ever going to give me f**k all. So if I wanted anything , I had to earn it . I just can't see how folks don't understand, that if you can't afford to save and buy something, then you can't afford to pay for it afterwards, with a shit load of interest on top . It just baffles me.

I agree with that's tats . Rents are genuinely crippling some people. I've watched a few lads that I work with , go from happily paying rent every month , and being wise with there cash . to having to give up there homes because of rent increases.

I work with a couple of lads , that have had to move out of there rented houses , and move there wife and kids , back in with there parents . They're genuinely trying hard , and genuinely struggling. On the other hand. I know a fella that's 72 now , and hasn't had a job since he was 18. He lives in a council bungalow , and gets enhanced old age pension , as he claims for multiple fictitious illnesses (and has done for years). He always worked casual , and was earning £80.00 per day, when i was earning £50.00 per day on the books. He gets a taxi every morning to the pub when it o

I've just posted again above mate. Lots of people are just soft , and don't see the difference between wanting something , and needing something. They want a 50" telly , but they need food , and lots can't tell the difference. I know lots of lads that are struggling because they don't have enough cash , but I also know a lot of lads that are struggling because they get there priorities wrong , so they feel poor , when they really aren't.

I disagree with some of that wilf. A lot of people are just soft , and can't tolerate any level of personal discomfort. They can't live with a 21" telly for a year , while they save up for a 50" telly . They have to borrow the money to buy it straight away . The reality is , if you can't save up the money to buy it , then you just can't afford it . It's the most basic economics in the world.

Lots of people are just dumb fucks , with no understanding of basic economics .

This is the way I've always seen business , and the way I've always done business . Everyone needs to be happy with the deal .

That's excellent mack. It would end up with a huge squabble in this country .
-
That looks fantastic mack. Is it a good vibe ? , do they all get on OK being so close to each other ? .

You've lived the dream sir.

Bang on the money . They're just pure filth.

That's cool as f**k .

If you fancy something festive , go for the captain Morgan apple spiced rum, and hot chocolate. If you don't absolutely love it , I'll buy you a bottle of kraken.
-
I was never a fan of spiced rums , but I got bought a few different bottles , and they really grow on you after a while. Not exactly spiced , but kraken black cherry is f***ing delicious ( gnasher takes credit for that tip). If you fancy a festive tipple , try a mug of hot chocolate , with a double , captain Morgan apple spiced rum. f**k me it's amazing , but it does get a bit sickly after the third mug .

It's a wonderful thing to see mack. Oh if only we didn't have traitorous faggots running our country.

How f***ing true is that

Absolutely top marks. He's doing what needs to be done. The bed wetters might not like it , but. f**k em !.

Yep, a lot of folks did very nicely out of the whole fiasco. The young couple that lived next door to me , would be drinking red wine on the patio by 9am every morning, and theyd be going at it until teatime. They were loving it . Mind you , I would have probably done the same if I'd had the chance. I remember four of the personal trainers from the council leisure centre , offering to come and work on the bins , rather than being furloughed. They came to the depot to get ppe and have an induction . Two of them just said " f**k that ", and went back home . The other two of the

Fair play to you for looking after those loyal to you mate. A lot of folks really rinsed the system during covid , and now we're all paying for it , and will be paying until we die. I felt sorry for my lad, the company he worked for wouldn't furlough them . He was working three days a week , and earning less than dole money. My daughter lost her job in a pub kitchen, but soon got a job working for the job centre. They all had instructions to just process all claims . She said that most of them were clearly just scammers , but it didn't matter , they just had to get them all pr

I know mate . Some came out of covid with a big smile, and a bulging bank account , but some folks really got the shit end of the stick. I'm still really pissed about it all. My mrs closed her business , and went into full time mask production. The masks were sold for a donation , if you could afford to pay , you paid , if you couldn't afford to pay , they were free( the donations were to help cover some of the the costs of materials) . I called time on it when we saw her masks for sale on Ebay at a tenner each , the c**t selling them had had masks off us for free , to give to an

Thinking about it , although our sick rate can be quite high at work sometimes. It's rarely through bugs , coughs , colds etc . It's usually through damaged , backs , knees , shoulders , or getting hit by cars. Again, thinking about it . Your average binman is probably exposed to more shite in a week , than an average person is exposed to in a lifetime. I remember the big ( outdoor )meeting when covid kicked off . Information was passed down from a government cobra meeting , to the local authority cobra lot . We were told that , were in it until the bitter end ( no furlough for bin

Tell you what , that had never even entered my mind , but f**k me it's a disturbing thought .

That'll do nicely .

Funny you should say that. I needed to go into hospital a couple of years ago for an op. The surgeon was most insistent that every time I visit the hospital, I scrub myself all over , until my skin was sore. He explained that due to my job , I'm probably immune to just about everything, but it stands a good chance that I could bring something into the hospital, that could kill half of the patients , as they're already weakened.
