splayed temp roof.

We had to do an emergency job in Ladbrooke Grove on the Notting Hill Carnival weekend , we where all getting stuck in to when the Predator disappeared , turn up an hour later steaming drunk , he had found a stall selling Rum punch .

he used to smoke weed from 6 in the morning and one morning we where in the cafe having breakfast at about 6.30 , when the cafe fella asked the predator what he wanted for breakfast he asked for Apple crumble and ice cream :laugh::laugh: , bring back the old days , always a good laugh to be had

was working for FK Pylon years ago and the sight insisted on hard hats ( old school days )
there was a Jamaican fella there called the Predator with huge dread locks and the hard hat would go on his head , so he pulled the webbing out the hat and tied it around his chin with a piece of string , i can still see the mad man now what a sight he looked

Pretty sure I came across him. His dreadlocks were so huge his hard hat looked like a childs party hat held on with elastic.
 
"bent spigots"

hahahaha, came across this years ago, one of the old boys had done his splay like that, rough as **** and you had to run for cover when you slackened off the transoms cos the ledger came flying out at you and nearly took your head off, dodgy is an understatement :D
