I hope he comes back, I for one cant wait for the next instalment of "The Guide to Scaffolding, part two" the one where Jason (Mr Frodo) has to drop his big ben spanner into the river Thames to end the world domination of that firm that brought out trad. In the sequel he is tasked with building the worlds biggest staircase, I believe filming has already started.

That's correct. I saw them filming as I went past the Algerian embassy earlier today.

Now you mention it , I'm sure I saw a small fat fella wearing a headlamp in broad daylight looking at some designs for an enormous staircase or escalator ( may have had the plans on their side) earlier today. Apparently there was big interest in the casting of the production, hundreds applied for the leading role as Mr Frodo, but only a certain number were picked, cant remember how many though ..

Six were picked, including Michael Berryman as Gibbs and Jimmy Krankie as AOM.

Quality, hope AOM has a sense of humour. How come only six were picked ? Thank goodness Garry Adams had the good sense to smell a rat and leave early to deploy couplers elsewhere. Jason ( our hero) persevered, he could almost smell the sand, he wanted the big bucks and knew he would command an army of sycophantic black slaves who would ingratiate his "Guide to scaffolding" unlike everyone else in the uk with a brain. This is getting good Phil , like the old days
 
I still have my sense of humour but tomorrow is day 3 on the champix so it could all change.
 
stick a photo of Jason on your cigarette packet, that will stop you smoking
 
will there be a sequel
maybe take up from when he storms Hadrians wall and heads to the north east of scotland where he takes up a new position of toilet and smokehut gestapo/zonal supervisor only to find that no caant on site wanted the job.
incidentally in his new found power he never got his new best mate garry a start :eek:
 
You could try the inner sleeve of that most fascinating book "The guide to good scaffolding" there is a picture of him wearing the traditional hard hat with head lamp. Simply cut it out and glue it onto your fag packet. Of you could do a Google image search under the heading "Cock with a scaffold spanner and video recorder" either should produce the desired result.
 
ooooooooooo, controversial as ever Den. It would explain the tension.

Hi guys...

Disclaimer: Before i start, im getting drunk and im going to speak from the heart and tell the truth about the 'Algeria' thing... and im also REALLY f.cuing angry... more then i have been in a long time, far more then the threads that have been posted about me of late

This original thread started that:



or found here >>> click here <<<




Now... a good few hundred Scaffolders applied for this job, including Myself and Garry Adams... 6 was picked.

The member Scotontour or, as some might know him as: Craig Stephen is the supposed 'Project Manager' on this project... but to be fair, he couldn't organise a 10 year olds birthday party in McDonalds.

Ive worked for some really really REALLY bad Firms in the past and the 'so-called' communication from this guy has been dreadful... boarding on shiite.

Each of us 6 contacted each other and struck up a friendship.
I grew close to each bloke and i now consider each of the other 5: Ben, James, Graham, Garry and Stuart a friend.
We texted every other day and spoke on the phone a few times a week, including Skype chats.

Craig/Scotontour works for Cape East... which apparently are a 'professional' Company.

Let me set the fact straight: They are a total f.ucking joke.
We, us 6 (inc. Me) had to chase them up, had to ring them, had to sort things out ourselves... something that THEY should have done, from the start.

Cape East and the Management that Craig Stevens offers is the biggest farcical waste of time ive ever known in all the years i have been Scaffolding...


In the last few months, which i should have already been in Algeria working, had to chase them up for everything... They was late sorting our Visa's, they was late sorting everything.

First, they dumped Stuart... without even offering an explanation nor a sorry... then Garry pulled out, due to the job not seeming all it was.

Which left us to the last 4. Myself, Ben, Graham and James.
We ALL stuck in there, all remained loyal and hopefull that this job would come off.
(Even after Garry left the crew... and i KNEW that if a Scaffolder of Garrys standing had second thoughts = something was wrong)

We all paid money on things for the trip.
We all f.ucked our existing employers about...
We all messed our families about.
We all made ourselves look stupid, by believing this was a 'so-called' opportunity.

It was not...
It was a **** take.
It was a f.ucking joke.
It was a debacle of epic proportions.

The Algeria job is NOT going to happen and if it does, id hate to think that the monkies working for Cape East, ie: Craig Steven and Brian Summers would even be-able to guarantee our safety and wellbeing, if we did go... let alone make sure our wages were paid into the bank each month.



I posted this thread as a fore-warning to others looking to work for Cape East and Scotontour/Craig Stevens.

Beware this man.
He brings ignorance and incompetence to a whole new level...


I mean, even after Garry pulled out, some 3/4 weeks ago they STILL sent him an email today, explaining the job was off for the next week, maybe indefinitely.

How thick are these c.unts??? :worried:
Do they not communicate?
Not even a little??? :suspicious:



So, for me the Algeria job is off, for good.
I will NOT be going... and ill continue to work as i have been for D&R (Rail Div.) in London, until another job comes up abroad.



I dont care about 'burnt bridges' nor do i care about comebacks.
My Spanner on site does my talking and im VERY confident in my abilities at work to post this thread with my head held high.
Theres not a Firm in the world who will stop earning money for myself or my kids... f.uck Cape East and f.uck Craig.


I only feel sorry for those other guys... my new friends who have given up and joacked in alot more then me, to be let down time and time again for these knobs who are running the LNG/Arzew Algeria job.



I still like to keep in contact with my new found mates, Garry, James, Ben, Graham and Stuart.
I WILL keep in contact with them.



Replies?
I dont give a f.uck...

Comments?
I dont give a f.uck...

Sarcasm?
I dont give a f.uck...



All i care about is that the guys here KNOW what putting time, effort and faith into Cape east means...

It means NOTHING.


They are NOT to be trusted.




Thanks for your time.
Jason Gibbs.

I think the OP is worth a re-quote :D
