Funnily enough, I was thinking about you about 11 yesterday, wondering how it was for folks in your job in such weather. Clearly, the top ones just keeping on keeping on! Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 All 3 hounds done in the dry. Bonus. Need to get some shit shifted off the garden but it's started lobbing it down again. Time for a brew. Quote

Was there yesterday and was watching 4 lads up to their knees in concrete leveling it all out with these big boards on the end of a long pole. I bet that is a shit job in summer never mind winter.

Not sure they can do the pours if the weather is too inclement (cold or wet). A get out of jail free card for them! Quote

A get out of jail free card for them! Well they took the risk yesterday. It wasn't cold but it was windy and the rain came in heavy later. I would still rather do my work in the comfort of the office (remote or at home) than be 12 floors up lugging steel about. That said, when I was younger and working in my Grandads factory there was a quiet satisfaction from doing a hard day's graft. Oh and opening that little brown wage packet on a Thursday lunchtime 😀 Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 At least it will help dry the pitch a bit. Quite like listening to the wind of an evening- strangely relaxing until the tiles start rattling! Quote

MancWanderer Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Ha. Just watched Winterwatch 1963: The Big Freeze I was born at home in Jan 64 and the midwife had to walk fucking miles up Belmont Road because the snow was too deep for the ambulance to take my mum to Townleys Blimey. They just got on with it back in the day. It’s a great watch if you cast a critical eye on it and wonder how today’s wet wipes would have coped Quote

His family currently live protected by the British army. If he feels that strongly about them he should fuck off back to Ireland. All that aside he spends most fixtures against us goading our fanbase, showing his Republican tattoos and running to our fans celebrating when they score. Then moans when he gets stick. The guy is an obnoxious attention seeking bell end. Quote
