Claimed his dad served in WW2 and no reason to disbelieve at the time so raised £300 for RBL in his memory,then found out he lied kenbo.Challenged a few times since and he always runs or claims he can't read my posts?

correct s.kenbo, stewy isn't techie as he tells us often when starting yet another 'I'm not techie' post, as an avenue to post another after-time. He can't even locate his last 3 months, let alone his portal.
that's funny stewy you use the word 'respect' I doubt there's a single person who views your threads and respects you. I'd be staggered if the money you receive to bet was accrued off your own bat. If you were a light bulb you'd be half a watt. |

By:
That’s irrelevant, Glen, got nothing to do with him editing bets.
A bit odd imo that you’d raise money for a charity in the memory of Stew’s Dad too. |

Not sure who called him out about the amount of bricks he used to carry in his hod,maybe big Mart,but yet another fallacy?

I’m pretty sure that was Chav the first time he mentioned it. He did say on this thread that he possibly exaggerated though.

I get what you say Kenbo,it was a spat between him and shafter where stew was claiming his dads service and shafter was disparaging the forces so did it just to wind Steve up.At least the RBL benefitted which probably cheesed both off,stew being proven a liar and Steves dislike of uniformed service persons!!

By:
how many did stewy fit in his, 200?!
I don't think stewyb edits his bets, never accused him of such. |
|
By:
True, Glen. Every donation to them remembers them all I suppose.

Swifty he has a simple template which does not require a great deal of technical skill!!! i.e Clair Grogans,not one single photo of his screen and he runs every time suggested!!
|

By:
Think he said 20. I’ve heard of brick nobbers taking up to 30 bricks up a ladder using a board and their head!
|
|
By:
I don't have any doubt his bets are real, no one could seriously make up the way he punts. It's all or nothing

s'kenbo, my uncle used to do it that way, he lost 3 inches in height over the years!

No idea how many guys would carry kenbo,just remember him being taken to task and then admitting he lied.I worked on the side for a few days when based in Colchester to help out a civvy mate,bottom of North Hill,new insurance company building.Vaguely remember the little compy's they had and how much they talked about how much a good hod carrier could earn just for being quick and strong.
The ones I remember were mostly wiry rather than big guys? |
|
By:
the dealer, with stewy it's just random (well, very probably the fav), compulsive, reckless stuff. He gets his high off it, most on here are embarrassed for him I'd have thought.
CagliariG, I believe they are now banned, at least on the big sites, H&S. |
|
By:
I’ve not used one much myself. I was 16y/o when I first used one and hated it. Awkward to carry, sore on your shoulder and not a very quick way to work. Most ex hod carriers are sixty plus now and look years older!

Loading bays on scaffold now. The forklift puts two packs of bricks on there and you wheel a band of bricks round on a sack truck. Takes 15 minutes to load out 1000 bricks instead of a day.
No ladder any more either. A staircase on each lift. |
|
By:
s.kenbo, are you still in the game?
|
|
By:
Yes, mate. You been in it?
|

By:
still at the bullying wanxershaft you scuxmmy fook
give it a rest you chavvy wanxer |

If you're body holds up building work's a good job, well it used to be!
ye, many moons ago, my dad was a carpenter/builder ,so I laboured for a few brickies in my time, and tiled plenty of roofs. |

TBF knoxy,shafter has this one nailed!!?

By:
100% swifty,
spends all his time trying to convince everyone he is knowledgeable winning punter but doesn't know what a horses OR handicap mark is. Wins a few Bob yesterday, says a couple of small bets at the night meeting, then punts over a grand. Now apparently he does his own ratings! Who gets off peddling that **** ? Add the famous 5, the burner phones, the dog man etc Haven't a clue why he does it or feels the need to constantly after time. I'm going to sit on my hands from now, no point he will never change. |

Dreadful thread..full of…well you know…..smell of a dirty bar room brawl…

It is a decent game to be in, Swifty. My mate has just had to retire at 55 y/o. His back has been going every year for the last ten. He’s fecked. I don’t want to be like that in ten years time. .
|
|
By:
the dealer,some of the stuff he comes out with , in all my years I've never known anyone be soooooo desperate to impress. You are right though, it's best to leave alone, it's a mental disorder, I wouldn't know what type exactly, leave that one to the shrinks.

By:
s.kenbo, the back is the big killer, especially if you're tall, everything starts on the ground and it's a long way to bend down! Building work (and osteo and rheumatoid arthritis) certainly have ruined my Dad's retirement. I'd get out whilst things still work OK if you can.

Needs more of an intellect than a lifetime as a losing/punting driver Quixall,most could point and steer!!!

By:
ace, a great holiday job in your teens. Better than sitting on yer lazy fat arse all day.
|
|
By:
I can’t really afford to get out yet, Swifty. Anything else I’d do would pay half what I’m getting now. May have to reevaluate in five years.

By:
Brickies Labrador. What a clown!
|

By:
pretty disrespectful coming from the ex-tanker-driver dogger himself.
Earn what you can while the body allows s.kenbo. Then switch to betfair full-time! |

You’ve got some sense of humour!
