  2. Amazing ! Lol Funny enough I also had a job as a kid doing the cladding on two massive old Zepplin hangers in Bedford….but that was all scaffold and standing on the roof of that didn’t bother me at all……other than they used to do explosive testing in them and it took ages to climb down, wait for them to set off the explosion and then climb all the way back up again. I had a very near miss on that job, was tec screwing sheets to the side about halfway down, heard a noise above me and quickly pulled my arms back to my sides as a sheet of Steel came down like a guillotine. Never se
  3. Comes with the territory in our game, but I'll be honest and say over the last few years I think a load more about heights than I ever did, getting older I suppose. Been up in all sorts from man baskets on the end of crane (with a twat of an old steel erctor swinging it when we were 100ft in the air for a laugh, not funny) , to the biggest mobile cherry picker you can drive yourself, we needed it to go out and over a building not for the height but the reach.. but being younger me and my brother thought we'd take it in the middle of the car park and take it to the top height (think it was
  4. Have you got someone you can go out with thats got a dog doing the buisness? It wouldn't hurt to go out for a few runs with your pup watching on the lead and give them individual slips as sometime as the thought of another dog being there encourages them to pick a rabbit up just simply because they want it first. Soon has the pups caught a rabbit take it on its own from then on. Although the thought of healthy competition can be good to encourage the catch having a second dog there can knacker the retrieve. Also it helps if you get yourself into a position where the rabbits ar

  9. I did my iPaf licence for Kenya for a steel fix job that came our way It was all on some high end machinery in Basildon then when we got out there I was using a machine held together with tights as a fan belt and hadn’t been greased in 10’years wasn’t brilliant
  10. Must admit mate I'm not one for hights....I keep telling Ken rabbits don't live on roofs...but he shouts no but pigeons do...now get up there shreck...lol Few months back we did a job that requires a lorry cherry picker ....now I have the certs to drive the small ones....but this thing is operated by the driver of the truck....he's in the basket with you.... f**k me I shat myself....it went that high...I was so scared I sat in the basket going up and over the roof....he must of thought I was a right pussy.....on top of this he's Polish....the hole time we were up there...not only is
  11. I like them , haven’t seen the the Gerry cinnamon at t in the park ? also there two young black kids watching queen at live aid which is quite humbling as they get right into it
  12. Many years ago I had a job in one of those cradles, the old type where you pull yourself up and down one end at a time and the rope is gripped by wrapping it back over itself so that’s it’s your weight gripping it and stopping you from falling !!…….swung about all over the show. This was all in the days before safety lines and harness and all that caper, you just lowered yourself off the edge of a roof into the f***ing thing…..two boards in a wire frame box the “handrail” of which barely reached the cheeks of my arse ! lol 1 morning of that 10 floors up in North London and I crawled
  13. Yes mate I have I think that was the first bit of film them yanks watched....it blew there minds.... That scaffolding at the top....f**k me just two boards all way round.... Funnily enough I did roof top safety course last week...only goes up 10 meters...just playing at it comparison...lol

  17. NO NO NO !!! Hes a misogynist, fascist , racist, nazi dictator !!!! Tongue in cheek of course How refreshing for a politician to say it as he sees it, even if you disagree with him, ( I agreed with just about everything he said ), instead of the usual obfuscation, lies and evasion we normally get ! I watched it live from start to finish and was almost cheering ! Cheers.
  18. A changing world and society probably why it's picked up more . My eldest daughter the mother to my grandson who is on the spectrum along with her sister and the old woman are convinced i have some slight form of it as i don't follow the crowd and am more than happy in my own company most of the time.
  19. There's two yank construction workers....who now think Fred Dibnah is a God....they have done reactions to lots of old film with Fred on....they just can't believe he went up the outside of those chimneys on ladder...
  20. Some night that was last night in there....went in early on the early bird ticket 10.30....by midnight it was rammed...must of been 4000 in there....we stayed till around 2.30....by then we was bolloxed
  21. Watched “The Don” At the UN…..amazing ! He don’t give two fucks ! lol…….and why should he, he knows what America is and what it can do. The look on those peoples faces was a picture !……and he was bang on the money, he just said it out loud like most of us do in a daily basis “Europe is being destroyed”
  22. Whilst I agree with the gist of that mate, I think we also have to take into account that as the years have gone on it has become more recognised and as such more diagnosed. Looking at my boy he displays many traits I did as a kid or I look at my younger daughter and she is definitely on the spectrum in many ways, but when I was a kid and she was a kid it was just thought of as someone’s quirks and as long as you could function and get by nobody thought much of it, it’s when you can’t function at something everyone else is doing it presents a problem and that, along with better understand
