May 14, 20188 yr Author know feck all about dry stone walling :P You’d probably still more than the cowboy who tried to price up the job this wkend.
May 14, 20188 yr I've done a couple of courses up Smithills and know the principles. Wouldn't do it as paid work though as I'm hardly qualified. I did it through the Lancashire dry stone walling association; the local governing body which is part of a country wide one. http://www.lancashirebranchdswa.org.uk Have a look and see if they have any links or recommends. It's quite enjoyable and therapeutic, bit like a a 3d jigsaw you make up as you go along.

May 15, 20188 yr Author In much the same way pebble dashing is... Though my depraved mind can't quite picture the scenario where "Dry Stone Walling" could be used as some kind of sexual euphemism. ....cue Gonzo!!

Dry Stone Walling The art of bumming somebody, through a glory hole, and applying talc as soon as any moisture starts to appear, thus keeping the penis and the anal passage dry and friction to a maximum "How did you get on last night" "Brilliant, I received a proper dry stone walling"
May 15, 20188 yr Author Dry Stone Walling The art of bumming somebody, through a glory hole, and applying talc as soon as any moisture starts to appear, thus keeping the penis and the anal passage dry and friction to a maximum "How did you get on last night" "Brilliant, I received a proper dry stone walling" I was about to doth my cap your way Sweep before I contemplated this image of "Dry Stone Walling" you suggested. I'm confused about the "moisture" that starts to appear? Speaking as someone not entirely familiar on the workings of bumming i though it would be rather dry and lacking moisture generally? Or are we talking some form of bum/poo juice....? Edited May 15, 20188 yr by jimmyjoojar
May 15, 20188 yr Sounds like when your missus isn't talking to you. "After several nights on the ale, wheater'so wife dry stone walled him"

May 15, 20188 yr Author blood and bum sweat You did ask..... I did... BTW, that would make a most excellent title for album. "New in at number 4, Blood and Bum Sweat by the Dry Stone Wallers...."
May 15, 20188 yr Mate of me and Gumbo’s Dad used to do this. His work was excellent However, a few years ago he fucked off to live in scotland on a boat so that’s of absolutely no use whatsoever Soz

June 8, 20188 yr Author As it happens I found a cracking lad who just finished the job this week. Very good job, so good infact I promised i'd pass on his details to anyone who might be interested. I know that's not likely here but if anyone DOES needs any dry stone walling done drop me a PM.
June 8, 20188 yr Sat on my arse all day in an office, I've often though it's one of those types of jobs I sort of wished I did for a living. I bet the reality of it is absolutely shit though
June 8, 20188 yr Mick- definitely one of those weather dependent things. On your own in beautiful surroundings, sun shining, creating something magnificent that will last for years. Or on your own, pissing down, windy as fuck and freezing. Can't feel your fingers whilst handling wet stones in deep sluch. Miles from a bog a decent desperate for a shit.

Or on your own, pissing down, windy as fuck and freezing. Can't feel your fingers whilst handling wet stones in deep sluch. Miles from a bog a decent desperate for a shit. Bit like all outdoors jobs. It was ace being on site on days like today especially as the Engineer i didn't do any real work apart from pitching in moving cones and stuff. It was shit being on site in frezzing pissing down rain especially as the engineer i had no work to do.

Come and see me in jan pal
June 8, 20188 yr I dunno if i would class mine as an outdoor job, Leave the machine and everything outside and the pipes run into the house, winds a nightmare, rain, snow was horrid, and it's one of those jobs where you sweat liken crazy, go outside like today and you feel your going to melt, when its cold, your sweaty and freezing...
