  1. Done some huge Coldstores in the past mate, steel, cladding, roofing etc.. plus some supermarkets, mainly tescos... out of the big main builder shit now, not my game anymore...this is a big job but great client, 2 weekly pay, materials when they drop, never feel too exposed... Life's a doddle with a cladboy and crane though, you'd be lucky to do 200m2 on this pitch of roof handling them, put on around 700m2 yesterday, if wasn't for the rooflights you'd be looking at 1000 - 1200m2 a day...keeps the boys happy as they all live area!! Lol
  2. Big lump on yesterday, sets us up nicely for a week in the sun!
  3. Lost your rag... I presume you mean temper and not your worms!
  4. Should be a good scrap, I think you may have introduced me to Inoue on here a good few years back, straight away watched everything I could on you tube, then told my bother to watch him... He is different class, for me the best pound for pound (I know Crawford so perhaps equally lol).. I'm away for a week next week and flying when this is on, will catch up on landing....

    We had a real good one down here mate, followed the local beagle packs... Could ring her anytime of night.. sadly she died a few years back, not found anyone like her since tbh, really was into working dogs, she kept lurchers and a couple of terriers as well .
  7. I tell my lad not to get involved in all that shit as well mate and he's only 18, it's not worth the aggro but we're old and as youngsters didn't give a f**k...I'm the same though, will avoid aggro as much as possible as 1 it hurts more now and 2 I don't want to spend a day in a cell for that bullshit ..but I'd still struggle to walk away from a bully being a bully, particularly if it was to a girl... Maybe should walk the other way, but it's instinct not to and I think most decent lads are the same
  8. Love the pubs in Ireland mate, spent a lot of time in Black Rock and Dundalk, where my family are from, and had great nights plus those you think back to and realise you were lucky! Lol My mum was over with my cousins for Paddy's day, sent me videos of the live music in the, the march etc..looked brilliant.. not been over for a few years, but hopefully will get over to see family and have a few Guinness's later this year
  9. Got to agree, I don't go in town much anymore, but enjoy a pint in our old local haunts, get to see lads you haven't seen in a while and catch up, we host up here alot now so tend to habe my good mates abd family around in our bar more than going out. My old man ran a pub in North Devon for 15 years or so, first few years were mental, lots of locals liked to pick a fight with us Townies! Lol .. it was good fun as a young bloke, birds loved us and the blokes hated it lol... Twice spent a night in the cells for sticking up for people, I hate a bully and struggle to walk away from that type
  10. Telegram for Mr mongo Me Mongo... Loved that film as a kid lol
  11. Eat it whilst it's fresh, crab linguine with chilli, garlic and coriander...
  12. One of the lads who works for us his Mrs works in Brixham picking crabs, she worked last night and he brought me in this today.. As fresh as you can get the best sandwich around imo
  13. Absolutely bizarre.. the bloke was so weird as well, plus the bloke who starred in it and wrote it is the person it all happened too...mental
  14. Got to agree, I think it may actually happen this time, I can't see Fury risking the backlash of pulling out again, plus like you say these last 3 pr 4 fights if they all get made are huge pay days that he won't be able to resist.

    I think yours is faulty mate lol
  16. Said for years earning money buys you time, which is priceless.. great stuff mate
  17. Anytime mate, look forward to it, I'll make sure the bar is well stocked! Lol
  18. Yeah it's nearly always "I wish I travelled more" or "I wish I'd moved to...."... I think education is amazing if followed through to the end and utilised to it's potential, fantastic, I think it's a complete waste of time if it's 4 years on the piss to scrape a degree of sorts and start looking for work at £25k a year at 24 years old ... I love listening and working with educated people, my accountant is 73 years old and maybe the sharpest man I've ever known with numbers, I've known him a lot of years and still am amazed at some of the planning, financial advice, dare i say "dodges" he talks
  19. Tank for me is the better all round boxer, but I think Garcia would be more comfortable at welterweight so not sure Tank would gain much by following him up the weight classes,, I'm guessing Garcia will fight Haney again at a catch weight then move up to welter, Crawford is way too much for him at that weight as is Ennis imo, I can't see any of them moving up a class abd troubling Crawford tbh
  20. I'm the same mate, every city we go to we go in the cathedral, I'm not religious just something about them. There's a decent little art shop in cathedral yard, worth a look. Glad you got about and enjoyed it mate, it's a nice part of the world, you should've given me a shout I would've come and met you for a cuppa...
  21. Haha...yeah, wasn't perhaps the best phrasing when handing out compliments lol
  22. Good on your daughter mate, sounds a good screw. Your lad will find his way, they all do in the end mate... I know what you mean about construction, but make him more rounded, look at Estimating, QS work, Draftsman etc, you can learn a trade and off shoot into other parts of it... I know you've done well in the game so he'll be learning off you anyway.
  23. The 2nd pic with the coffee is looking at Lympstone/Topsham over the River Exe estuary, the first pic with the boats is the Exeter canal at Turf Locks, that's where the canal ends and enters the river mouth near Powderham Castle. I grew up near Topsham right on the river, loads of good memories on the canal and river mate.. Where abouts on the Exe where you?
  24. Many things will take you far beyond the "average" tradesman mate, yes a good degree can be one of those things, but I honestly think a lot of it is mindset. There are only so many top surgeons, top lawyers etc all have dedicated to study and their career, fantastic I tip my hat to them.... but like you say there are loads of people who go to University purely to appease pushy parents, or as it's the driven option at college (we are witnessing it now with Finley, his teachers can not work out why he wouldn't want to go). I guess I see it from point of view of successful working class, bu
