Reminds mi o when tha worra bin lid n the days o the owd fist feights thy ad wi the mob from another street n befoor tha got stuck in one o thi so called mates angin back wud say, "I,ll owd thi coo-at Dave."
Glad tha Gorrit oreight Bob, deffo an in depth good read. All oreight ere Bob, still ploddin on n elpin Samantha ta soort out the gaff she,s just moved into, like fukkin DIY Dave these days. Duz tha remember that early gogglebox DIY prog from the 60s wi gogglebox andyman Barry Bucknall? Poor fukker live on air cut the end of iz finger off when using a big fukk off screwdriver purrin a screw inta a piece o wood, not really funny but laffed mi bollox off! Screwy Drives Lives! Ope all ok at your end.
I always say a job's not a good'n unless my blood's on it! Clumsiest bastard in the world where tools are concerned and made a few trips to casualty after having arguments berween my bench saw and my fingers!
2lb lump ammer n bolster chisel fer me Pat, especially when chasin out brick or stonework ta fix lead n felt upstands when tha misses the chisel n twats thi German band! OUCH! Ya Bastard!
Remember when daughter 2 moved into a flat in Dover, the previous occupant was a heavy smoker, I got the job o painting out the whole gaff. Not pleasant washing badly stained ceilings with sugar soap, and nicotine running down your arms ended up looking like a chink!
Av gorra pic someweer Pat o when while runnin the gyms a gorra job modellin fer n industrial equipment owdin a cowd chisel fitted wi a rubber bread hook guard in mi left German band wi a lump ammer in mi reight german band ready ta twat away, wuz about 83/4ish a think. Gud job tha can only see mi arms in the ad! Al see if a can find it n purrit on mi avatar fer a laff. Back in the day Bob thy allus thought that the owd battlecruisers wo painted yella till some fukker decided ta spruce up the joint n stick some whitewesh on the walls, then tha realised that the original shade wuz nicotine yella!
Nah Don,just bad hand eye co-ordination in my case. That's why I'm shite at darts or any game involving bats and balls,including snooker/pool! I have to really concentrate even cutting vegetables and bread etc or I risk cutting myself. Half of it is the continual cold injuries suffered throughout my time seving Her Maj being told all the time that only Hats wore gloves,so the fingers and toes are fairly remote from the rest of me and even reaching for a pint in the pub has often gone wrong when it gets shoved over rather than gripped,with everyone assuming I'm drunk when I've only started my second pint! Ah the joys of veteranhood!
Dave a few years back I painted the ceiling of a social club it was badly stained by nicotine, good tip paint over it with Blue Circle stabilising solution leave to dry for 12 hours then paint over it jobs a goodun! Ceiling white as driven snow with a couple of coats of good emulsion.
The worst I can remember seeing was the nurses rest room on one of the wards in the Ulster Hospital where an ex girlfriend worked years ago. The place stank of fags and the walls and ceiling were yellow with nicotene which also ran down the windows in the condensation so you could barely see out of them!
Never had that problem down our Pit, to gassy to smoke. Remember an old Deputy who during the war in Egypt got pissed and had two eyes tattooed on his arse. In the pit showers he would shout out can somebody get that coal out of my eye's!
