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
-
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
-
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
-
Wow, I thought it would be 6 minimum now days mate.
-
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
-
And they could be mended with a spanner and not a quantum super computer and £18 million quid in parts ! lol
-
That surprises me mate, what they paying price work per 1000 for ordinary face work, like housing estate stuff ?
-
Just to see how busy we was then mate, all at something, communities alive and thriving…..nice isn’t it.
-
I’ll pay you NOT to have to live in Wembley ! lol
-
You can bung me a million sovs if you like and I’ll f**k off if that helps ? lol
-
I’m talking about the Provo’s mate not the original IRA.
-
Brings a whole new meaning to “Do you fancy an Indian tonight ?” lol
-
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 !

Talking of people coming over to Ireland for a handout, Zelensky was over here yesterday shaking his collection tin and did very nicely thank you to the tune of €100,000,000 (one hundred million euro) ! Not a bad days work if you can get it ! lol
-
I can tell you for a fact, no, you wouldn’t rather 2000 pakis ! lol
-
My names WILF and my pronouns are Therm/Sherm and I think you’d see less mentally ill people in f***ing Rampton !
-
I don’t know mate, you have to keep in mind nearly a million people just voted for a pro Hamas, pro immigrant, Marxist Sinn Fein (or Sinbad Fein as I read someone call them yesterday ! lol ) stooge to be president ! There are plenty here have no concept of what this means for them…..a lot of them genuinely see no difference between the Irish diaspora and ten thousand 3rd world fuzzy wuzzys coming over and driving an Uber !
-
@TOMO Have a look for the Esso films “a look at Britain” (may have the title slightly wrong…..they are brilliant mate. My mistake, it was called “Our Native Shore”……
-
Exactly this mate, I do that as well from time to time…..and same as you, it can get you feeling a bit blue but I think it’s also a decent reminder that things wasn’t always this way and so it follows it can be better.
-
First I’ve heard of it……but you never know, basically 6 men sat in a 3 bed semi in Athlone started the provisional IRA campaign we all grew up with so anything can happen.
-
Learned behaviours mate……
-
If the right circumstances combine, anything can happen. As I said, who would have looked at the Soviet Union in 1980 and said “this won’t exist in 10 years” ! Would we have foreseen the Balkans conflict and massacres in Central Europe ? Things you can’t imagine are only ever 3 or 4 steps away……as our successive governments have been proving to us for the last 50 years !
-
You cant change nature mate, we are an island race, have always been basically a bunch of thugs albeit well mannered thugs……just like an African is always, at their core, going to be an African so it is for the European and by degrees, the British. Learned behaviours can be unlearned, politeness and violence…..if we can’t do one, then we do the other, always have.
