[GB_Groundworks]

6 builders trying to build a roman villa using traditional methods, looks worthy of a watch

The cart didn't last long!

[Tony McC]

That bloody labourer wouldn't last long working for me.

As my owld feller used to say, you'd need an x-ray to find any work in that boy!

Loved it, especially the way the ganger was winding up the suit.

Made him look a right tit
:laugh:

[lutonlagerlout]

we had a labourer Malcolm and my old man used to go mad when he stood staring into the mixer
"stop staring or you'll get effing memorised"
we laughed so much i didnt have the heart to tell him its mesmerised :;):

There was a great review of the programme in yesterday's Grauniad by Sam Wollaston. He made the very valid point that anyone who begins every sentence with "Look!......", like your man Professor Sir Lord Dai Daffyd Elwyn Ogwen Glyndwr Jones, is very definitely getting wound up!

watched it last week, oh dear
where did they get this motley crew from
looks like they went to the joke club and put an ad up for "hopefuls"
that carpenter needs a dash of something in his tea
crystal meth i reckon

the bofin loesing the plot

[haggistini]

losing

[lutonlagerlout]

looks like i was right about the chipie
mind you i felt sorry for him,i have had to cut green oak for the surrounds of a trout lake and it is a pig to work with,N.B. they cheated and got it all in pre sawn in the end

also the foreman jim, OH dear :;):
jim is very fond of himself and loves to criticize others,what jim actually does apart from being a traffic warden in the wrong job i dont know,the site seems to move a lot better when hes not there

the labourer looks like he might turn out not bad and the plumber with the long hair seems a decent sort.
the suit needs a personality transplant,

long hair spent night after night doing designs and he dismissed them offhand,
hes the architect,why isnt he doing the design of the mosaic floor?
a lot more watchable than all the reality cowboy stuff though
