A couple of stories from when we were out on site before my holidays - I think.
This is mainly to give me some time to gather my thoughts regarding the three weeks of mayhem – which I think I need a holiday to recover from :)
Stripped for Action :)
When we are out and about we occasionally have our lunch in one of the numerous picnic sites scattered about the county , this is mainly because they sometimes have stalls selling tea , and of course - toilet facilities , and these stops can have amusing consequences ………………………….
We stopped at one the other day , and saw there was no tea stall , so we left one of our guy’s - D.T. to guard the vehicles/ equipment , while we went to try a and find one .
Now it was a hot day and D.T. was as usual stripped to the waist wearing his jeans tucked in to his rigger boots , and we thought nothing of it as we went off in search of a drink .
We came back about 10 minutes later and saw D.T. holding court with a group of
guys , now D.T being D.T he was totally oblivious of the fact that these guys were obviously gay , and his attire probably singled him out as one of the gang in their minds :)
We stopped and all these guys seemed to scatter leaving a bewildered D.T. alone
and I’m sure he still didn’t really know what was going on , and we weren’t about to tell him :)
YOU WEREN’T THERE MAN !!!
One of my workmate Chris had a bit of a motorcycle accident a few years ago and has got a bit of a limp because of it.
So this particular day we were out and about , and had called in to the local shop to buy some food , and as usual Chris wandered in last in .He was just about to get served when the lady behind the counter mentioned his leg , and just before he could get a word out a certain person who was just going out of the door shouted
………………….. “he took a mortar round in ‘Nam …………”
One hour later Chris eventually got out of the shop :)
There are several other stories , but these all relate to toilet functions and our obvious lack of facilities on the road , thus I’m not sure they are entirely appropriate on here , so I’ll leave those to your “fertile imagination” :)
