Usually a Ford Orion on fire somewhere in L/H.

Elf & Safety - wankers!

Elf & Safety - wankers!

 

I know what you mean, but H & S regulations (which haven't changed regarding bonfires since I was a lad as far as I'm aware) are there to protect idiots basically. Any organisation that used to have bonfires but no longer do so because of 'elf and safety issues' are either a) using it as an excuse, or are that incompetent that they probably shouldn't be allowed to have one.

 

A risk assessment for a public bonfire would go something like this:

 

1) What is the hazard - a big fuck off bonfire.

2) What is the risk - we put it too close to a building, or allow people to get too close to it, both of which may cause harm/damage.

3) What is the control measure - Don't put the fire too close to a building, and don't let unauthorised persons near it.

 

Not fucking difficult.

 

Don't blame H & S legislation for spoiling fun, blame incompetent morons and ambulance chasing lawyers.

Thats the vicious circle.

 

Those parasitic twats will jump up and down at the slightest chink in the armour and use it as a H&S issue. I could write a risk assesment for getting out of bed and crossing the road for a bottle of milk and some cunt would pull it to bits with a 'what if' scenario. Even ifs its a million to one chance, some smarmy cunt in a court of law will make it out to be the most obvious of risks becuase in their world there is no such thing as an accident and the HSE are cut from the same cloth.

 

These cunts make my fucking teeth itch.

 

A charity organisation or local sports club run by voulunteers would probably love one but are terrified of something going wrong and the finger of blame being pointed at them as individuals.

There is a beltin one on Atherton Collieries, they have it on every year, a good do with food and a bar.

Am I allowed one in my new back yard though?

 

Yes. Just take reasonable measures to make sure no-one gets hurt.

Point taken entirely. I dont work for the HSE (for the avoidance of doubt!) I work for a company which maintains window-cleaning cradles, safety lines etc on roofs, so we spend our time working at height. My H & S training is basically there to give a case for the 'defence' as it were, when carrying out Risk Assessments / Method Statements. Having said that, I have seen so many muppets doing so many stupid things that I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to H & S stuff. Its frustrating, you can't legislate for idiots, but you are legally obliged to protect them. I suppose at the end of the day companies are legally obliged to train people to do what they do, and rightly so. I gather that you dig big holes, and I daresay you do it properly and safely; problem is, others don't and then we all suffer. But it's not the law at fault, it's bad employers that fuck it all for us. And the lawyers obviously, twatsticks!

Swan on Totty Road is normally a good one.

 

 

If you can hang on to Saturday, get along to our eldest's cubs & scouts bash in Greenmount - always a good 'un.

Sounds like a top 'do'. I was a cub then a Scout, 6th Worsley in Walkden, our bommy night used to fund the thing for the whole year. Proper bar with keg ale in the scout hut, barbecue outside, pie and peas, it was always rammed! Remember one year, the bonfire started leaning towards the (entirely wooden) scout hut, fire brigade was called to keep an eye on things. Bar didn't shut, mind, no-one evacuated..

 

Good luck with your eldests do, I have nothing but fond memories of our bommy nights.

 

I am now outed as an ex-Scout and a H & S person. My God, I might as well own up to supporting Bury next..

Totally agree.

 

I'll take the Pepsi test with any other contractor. I've spent nigh on ?50k on training and certification over the last 3 years and everyone who works for us has a rake of tickets in every task they work on. We do regular inductions and tool box talks, everyone has their own training plan. It often counts for fuck all though because Billy Dickhead working out of a van with next to no insurance or tickets will still be 20% cheaper and its wankers like this I have to compete with.

 

Trouble is, the more you provide, the more there is to pull to bits.

 

Example.....everyone of our lads has NVQ2 Plant Operations, on top of CPCS tickets to operate whatever they operate. Part of the NVQ is banksman and slinger signaller work. Some cunt in a suit who does not know shit from clay then decides lowering pipes into a trench is a LOLER operation (lifting regs). So by rights, I have to provide a "fully qualified" slinger signaller - this is a 4 day course aimed at crane operators. Its like having a driving license but needing a pilots license to drive a car.

 

So to keep the peace I get one. He's got a ticket, but has not got a fucking clue about lowering pipes into a trench. Day 1 he's overseeing this operation, lowers a pipe into the trench and nearly takes a lads head off whilst the bloke who should have been doing it, and has been for 30 years, is sweeping the fucking brew room.

 

But jobs a good un becuase he's got a ticket.

 

It's fucking bollocks but I feel a tad better now.

 

smiffs

not drinking this weekend and grumpy as a fucker

Smiffs, I think you've got anger issues and a problem dealing with authority.

 

Were you bullied as a child?

There was one cunt 2 years above me but once I got to 15 stone and 6 foot tall by 14 year old he soon fucked off

 

Beleive it or not I have a very submissive nature.

 

I just have a short tolerance threshold with fucking idiots and enjoy venting my frustrations on here. Tis often my therapy.
