Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

It is a reference to 1980s Martini TV/cinema ads featuring a roller-skating waitress. Presumably the scaffolding can be erected 'any time, any place, anywhere'.

The scaffolders gave me all that netting stuff they used when our block was renovated plus some of the boards.
All on the allotment now.

Shout out to JM Scaffolding, Uxbridge.
Top lads, the right balance of footie hoolie lunacy and twisted sense of humour when it comes to winding up their apprentices...

they’re always ripped

to the tits on cheap whizz

(So I've heard)

When I was a youngun quite a few of my mates were scaffolders.

I was out of work for a while and my friend Mark invited me to work with him for a day. I needed a week off after my first day. And I was in good shape back then. Gym muscles ≠ scaffolder muscles

I remember being in awe at how much they earned (compared to me at the time). Swings and roundabouts though. When I broke Mark's leg playing football, he was off work with no pay for about four months.

I guess you could say the job has its ups and downs.

No type of gym fitness replaces work fit.
I climbed trees for 12yrs up until the start of covid when I changed career.
I look the same more or less but am a shadow of my former self when it comes to endurance graft.

Amen. A mix if gym, rugby and publishing definitely wouldn't have qualified me for my current life. The 30 year old me would have needed a long lie down after shifting 20 sleepers up steps as I have just done. Do scaffolders still need the same basic qualification, time spent at Her Majesty's pleasure?

Same here, I took up road cycling after I’d been plastering for a couple of years. Loading plaster boards and bags of thistle up multiple flights of stairs every day does good things for your legs. I could beat pretty much anyone I rode with up hill at 90kg.

Scaff boys are definitely king of the hill

coughs in steel erector

Cheap coke these days.

Do scaffolders still need the same basic qualification...

...being a failed steel erector?

It's like drinking straight TV static

None of this manual stuff compares with wrestling with Excel for 45 mins. Without a break.

Sort-of beams that are propping you up at the moment

And I thought scaffolding was a way of auto-generating project documentation/code structure templates.

Haha

Nice.

...being a failed steel erector?

Isn’t a steel erector just a scaffolder that managed to scrape a C at gcse maths?

As opposed to seven years at medical school for a tree surgeon?

Thanks, enjoyed that. But I'm on a rollercoaster ride between epic wtf and cracking me up

The fuck was all that about?

That bit when he got to the top of the slide & the camera panned down to the badly drawn cock & balls - magnificent
