Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If i get to that stage I'll move to a bungalow. What the hell would happen if you were in one of these things and there was a power cut? It must have happened at some time. I recall an episode of Phoenix Nights where Peter Kaye's character got stuck halfway up the stairs during a power cut which immobilised his stairlift and he couldn't get to the toilet. Suffice to say the smell that met his rescuer, Dave Spikey, was not pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice to say the smell that met his rescuer, Dave Spikey, was not pleasant. I almost ran him over at a pedestrian crossing in Chorley (Dave Spikey). He was crossing against the lights. I would have been blameless. One of life's missed opportunities perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been blameless. One of life's missed opportunities perhaps. Funny bloke Dave Spikey I think. I had a similar experience with Nigel Pavaro (Terry Duckworth in Corrie) quite a few years ago during the Edinburgh Fringe. I was on my way to Meadowbank Stadium where the then Meadowbank Thistle were playing QotS and Mr. Pavaro (and a couple of others) walked across the road in front of me. I had to brake hard but they carried on in ignorance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 A taxi I was in in Edinburgh at the fringe one year nearly knocked Gok Wan down. The driver was too busy pointing him out to us and trying to wave at him and he nearly clipped him as he ran across the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a grateful look though, considering i'd just saved his life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That shitey Tracey chapman fast car remix - I'm starting to think there isn't a popular song in the olden days that hasn't been remixed into some abysmal bland dance tune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Stenna! Is that the aquatic type? Ferry good, I meant Stannah of course. If GD's Mrs finds it surplus to requirements, for any reason, I believe they hold their value quite well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 When old people talk about "the good old days" Really? What the f**k is so good about them? Everything I can think of and read about makes me so glad I was born in the 80s and not years earlier. Also given the number of old guys who abused kids many moons ago, Was it just acceptable to be a creepy paedo back in "the good old days" Fuxake. ^^^^^^^^^^ Raging ^^^^^^^^^^ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's construction for you. Maybe. Or maybe my colleagues and the general public are just eejits. I'm not sure I'm cut out for this "work" thing. I'd be far happier just being given money and not having to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you are in the firing line for suffering morons with your line of work, was pretty bad for myself working on site but you can usually avoid it if you keep your head down. I don't want to ever graduate from uni and I want to live off my Mrs/ mother for ever more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 All the shite of the day rolls to me. Site guys, architects, clients, owners, designers, engineers, suppliers, subcontractors, building control, banking, tax, accountants, all goes through me. I get to listen to the utter nonsense of everyone involved for only £250,000 per annum*. *or possibly slightly less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing sum quick sums here, I make it 36 years until state retirement age, unless they increase it from 67 before then. Oh joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
