Be incredibly lazy and not be ashamed?

It's bad enough that you're from Lancaster. You have plenty to be ashamed about. :wink: :lol:

Don't feel bad, my mother is from Westhoughton, near Bolton, home of the "cayeads". If you don't know the story, it involved a Westhoughton farmer who found one of his cows had somehow got its head stuck in the fence that surrounded the field. To solve the problem, he cut off the cows head (cayead). Now, it can be argued that the fence was worth more than the cow, so the farmer was smart after all. Either way, that is the most interesting story I can share concerning my heritage. How humiliating is that? :wink:


@emmcee. I assume you are telling me you are a stripper and typo'd you're reply in the quote. If so, the forum demands proof of your stripping talents. :wink:

Lmao, fair enough




Iam a formwork stripper this is what my day job is, strip what carpenters make. This is called drop stripping, where you remove all frames and back props and excess timber and leave it all resting on one prop and bearer. Stand back and hit it with a long bearer and watch it all fall. Highly illegal in the industry, but fast as hell. Just spend the next 3 hrs de nailing and stacking materials.

Nice. I've done that on person projects and once had someone do it to a raised deck I was standing on at the time.

Lets see... My talents. I'm real good a breaking stuff. I mean real good.
I can read drunk. 500+ novels in the past two years.
I can fix almost anything, provided that I wasn't the one who broke it of course.
I have a phenomenal success rate in transplanting "acquired bamboo"
Good at making random yard art and paving my yard.
