BIGBADBOB, we dont need another superscaff in the forum, people on here was having a joke about where you might or might not have worked and you insult, do your self a favour and dont post anything insulting.
PS. You are my hero, and i bet your great at supervising erections, especially when taking 1!

You SERIOUSLY need to get a sense of humour, pal.
Where you have been is impressive, but Scaffolding is Scaffolding, whether your working in Monte Carlo or Carlisle... Whats important is that you work hard, work well, do a good job, be friendly and most importantly EARN MONEY.
You dont have to be a travelling man to earn well, or work on/erect decent jobs.
I myself have worked on some of thee biggest building sites in the world (albeit they were all in England) and i have worked on a Scaffold that was about 600ft high on top of one of the biggest buildings in the country... do you see me going on about it?
No - i just come here and take the piss and try to make the forum as fun, as it should be.
Sort yourself out and stop taking things so seriously.
Or the boys here will just make you look stupid.

i agree BBB there will always be a wee bit of jealousy from the been nowhere going nowhere guys still banging up 20 x 20s for Trads in the pouring rain.
I can't, they don't call me hop-up Al for nothing.:embarrest:
In all seriousness, chasing the cash is fine done it for a few years myself and spent most of them regretting spending so long knocking my pan in for a local firm and not getting the reward I thought I deserved but now I have met a lot of guys that chased and chased all over the world and didn't look up until serious illness stopped them and when they finally did look around they realised there families had grown up without them and their wives prefer it when they are not there. Different strokes for different folks and just because you have done a hanger at what ever hundreds of feet above shark infested waters doesn't mean that much however interesting it was. Work shouldn't define you and hopefully now there is more to life than being a scaff, I now work to live not live to work.

Bob.
If i offended you, by making jest of your post then i apologise.
Im only messing about.
Unless its complaining about some shiit firm i used to work for or when Foreigners take the piss over here and get away with it - most of my posts are usually just silly pisstake ones, like the 'Im a Celebrity' one.
I have no doubt that it WILL be topped.
And as for TRADS... i only managed 3 square a day, due to me being young and f.ucking useless when i was on there, lol.

thats some cv bob got to hand it to you there,done bits and bobs" no punn intended"in holland and in LA but south east asia and new zealand are something else.i can only presume that you have been in supervisory and middle management positions for a while.
i also agree to the broadening of horizons when on your travels,great way to see the world and earn a couple of bob at the same time
as for the layhar i used it at nigg bay and had to chop it to **** due to it being rig construction and the standardisation of the sizes,i done a hanger in holland round the top of a hydrocracker with cuplock and it does have all the componenets that layhar has as does plus8 which i have used quite a bit on some cracking jobs but at the end of the day nothing comes near traditionaltube and fitting
