Just reading Dells mishap I had to share this .
Doing some work at an energy recycling gas plant Ie extending manholes up to finished road level
"all of them live " entailed about 8 course of brickwork top out .
one in particular was 15 feet deep with two pumps temporary recycling the shit back into the gas plant .
Had to move the pump hoses to enable the completion of the brickwork when it suddenly turned into a sprinkler destroying all the new brickwork ; so in desperation I grabbed the hose and the loose end swung round under pressure and covered me in shite from head to toe
Saved the brickwork though .

I don't know Ron, covered in sh**e and coming up smelling of roses. Good save mate.

That reminds me of when an old chap in the pub years ago asked me how cow shit Fred was doing. Apparently during the 30's or 40's when they were at school that was my Uncle Fred's nickname as he used to milk the cows before going to school, you can probably guess the rest.

Its obligatory for farmers sons to milk the coos before they go to school Roger

As I wrote in an older thread I worked on the farm .... including cows, horses, goats and many pigs .... sooner or later it falls into the ----

As written by a great Italian poet:
from diamonds nothing is born
the flowers come from manure

Correct Ron, usually taking your work clothes off afterwards and then getting changed into school clothes. but by all accounts he wouldn't have had another set of clothes.

Ron.
Im always in the shit. It's just the depth that varies.

I don't need to post owt, just translate the latin,
Said it for years on here !
P oo

Well Mick , the wife is away to America for 5 weeks and I have gutted the downstairs cloaks and the hall , put in new Rads, ripped out the carpets put new flooring down , ordered 4 new windows which will go in next week ,stripped and repapered and she knows now;t about it 3 weeks before she is back and I might be looking for new lodgings

Ron,
I've slopped off to sunny Spain for the winter, Reasonable lodgings can be had in sunny foggy Folkestone until the spring.

Mick

Are you serious ! are you in Spain

If my missus was in the US for 5 weeks I'd be doing something more fun than decorating Ron - among other things visual entertainment involving poles comes to mind...

We all get off in different ways Huw

At least I'm not into elastic belts...

Not now anyway after hearing what can happen.

Im sitting here trying to solve the problem of fixing a mains water stop water valve which has seized ; so I can change the washing basin which some pekin brilliant plumber never included service valves to the pipework. WHY . these items cost about a fiver each retail and a pack of eight for a tenner .

I could tell of a story re elastic braces , an outdoor call of nature and a springy bramble bush to a fishing buddy

Reminds me of this scene from "Kelly's Heroes"..



"Kinda makes ya homesick, don't it?"

Prost!
