Today’s Terry gold:
Carrying a log, tripped on a twig that an ant could have vaulted, went arse-over and somehow managed to throw the log into the canal we were alongside.
Cue poor Tel in his pants up to his knees in west London canal muck fishing it out. The waders that the other groundie was using ALL DAY were hanging up less than 5ft away.
I really really wish I was making this shit up.
For the sake of his dignity I didn’t take a pic. 10 colleagues and a high street of people laughing was bad enough for the poor fucker.
I echo Colin’s sentiments, it’s fine to enjoy this shit but some of these lads really do come from the worst start in life and spent the first half of their lives struggling with the simplest of life skills.
Tel turns up on time every day, is rarely hungover and tries his hardest. I don’t ask for more than that.
My favourite work story is the legend of Tony fucking Rockstar. I told the tale to @General_Lucifer on a ride once and ended up writing it out for him as he loved it so much. Would be better for a podcast than a story tho.
