Nice photo of your wife
hello jason springs to mind
There's bragging, and then there's the superscaff you occasionally see in the pub, belt with several tools (usually brand new or hardly used) slung over the shoulder, with a designer rip on that shoulder of an immaculately clean t-shirt which is 1 size too small to show off their impressive muscles as they hold their beergut in...
After 3 pints of Stella they're the best scaffolder that ever existed, have done hanging scaffolds 1000 feet up with no harness on (in high winds and snow of course), and will pick a fight with anyone who they think they can take on (usually some skinny ***** in a suit who's nervously looking at them).
The few workmates who they came in with are looking down at their pint wishing he'd feck off so they could enjoy themselves, trying to find an excuse to get away from him and find another pub hoping he doesn't follow them.
I've come across a few of these over the years... :laugh:
