I'd be very suspicious of any person claiming to be a scaffolder who didn't have at least half of these....
1, Tattoos on the forearm or neck
2, A complete and utter lack of financial understanding and planning.
3, A mobile phone with a cracked screen.
4, At least a dozen Grandmothers (all of whom die on a sunday night/monday morning)
5, Has had a stint in prison.
6, The unique ability to talk a complex structure (up and down and on the wagon) from the comfort of a bar stool.
7, The CSA after him.
8, A brother/cousin who "is on Trad's"
9, A suprisingly fit girlfriend.
10, At least one staffie.
