It is a shit farm and it isn't. Its a new to the UK design for treating storm water before it goes out to the water courses, in this case the river Loughor. So if your ever down this way in your planet destroying tub you can thank me for helping keep the water quality good for your kids to swim in.

Well it needs it, as far as I remember that river goes through Pontarddulais and that's a complete shithole ?

You seen this thread derailing by @BusBoy...........@Clive @Swagman?

From @boboneleg's workplace to grown men shitting their pants in three steps!

I think he needs a warning shot across his bows via an incomprehensible and confusing PM! 

That's the only thing his kind understands!

Today's work was decent; I work one day a week at the school to help out in the maintenance department. Today we re-roofed one of the concession stands at the football field after the wind blew the roof off, (we have lots of 75-100 mph winds up here in the winter). It was a really cheap style of roofing as well.

Sunny and 20F (-7C) out so it wasn't too bad....

It's a big field for 8 man football (it's what smaller schools here play). No viewing stands as no one ever goes to the games, etc. Some years they don't even have a team as they can't get enough kids to play, The whole team only has 10 players on it (regular school have 40+ players per team).  But it is a nice field. Fake grass as regular grass doesn't grow up here.

But they've also got the floodlights, running track etc......never seen anything on that scale in UK schools.

Where I went to school this was all we had.....worst 5 years or so of my life stuck in this shithole.

At my school we only had enough craft teachers to do third of a year metal work/woodwork/art. Not enough text books for one each, and those we did have had the covers falling off or pages missing. One pad when you played cricket, you made sure you kept the unprotected leg well out of the way, I think we had two bats though.

The school field did have grass.....and lots of mud, so much mud. The running track was paint on grass, that and two goal posts was the sum total of stuff out there. You can see my school on the big screen. My music classroom was in Made in Dagenham. They must have rented it for filming on the cheap as it was demolished a while afterwards. We had a mad scary dwarf as our music teacher, you shit yourself if he looked in your direction. The dreaded Mr Thacker!

I remember telling my dad about how scary he was (my dad was one of the school caretakers) and he laughed and said, do you mean little Lionel?

That's because you went to borstal :classic_laugh: The school i went to had everything.  400m running track, a rugby and football pitch, tennis courts, permanent area for Long jump, high jump cricket court an area set out for javelin discus and hammer throwing. Indoors there were badminton courts multi gym climbing apparatus and i'm sure there is some things i cant remember but never used any of it i hated games i used to accept the dap across the arse for not bringing my gym kit and then me and my mate used to go shooting with his air gun along the Taf on the way home as games was the last two lessons of the day

Yeah rough as arseholes my school. Yet I had to do Latin for a couple of years, Greek was voluntary though so I could avoid that.

 

The only Latin I can remember is the delight on finding out that 'Anus' was an old woman and Salve Nauta was Hello Sailor.

I just remembered because i had so many daps across the arse for missing games. I paid the school a visit one evening after leaving and done a few laps of the running track on my DT175 as payback probably the only time i enjoyed going to school :classic_laugh:
