[64SWAMPRAT]

@ramblinrocker That's exactly right my fellow scaffold builder. it's bread on the table for the family and whoever built this would go hungry in this business.

[bez696969]

does that look like its running up a touch to you....at the end the lads had no hats no vis and you wonder why the fucking job is on the floor...

[bez696969]

does that look like its running up a touch to you....

[bishopdante]

That is a big ass mess, how on earth they managed that I have no idea, that's super shoddy results right there! I hope nobody found themselves under that. Very heavy.

[dylana87]

the old forget to tie in trick aye...

[kingdeadly1]

WOOPS I forgot to tie it in. Who did the mathematic calculations for this. It's not very difficult to figure out what's right and whats wrong for tie ins or buttresses. FUCKING FIRED.

[64SWAMPRAT]

you think that's bad...try working with a bunch of mexicans that can't speak a lick of english....you tell them to put a tie in and they start tying their fucking shoes to run for the border.

[kingdeadly1]

@64SWAMPRAT

That's fucking awesome.

[sechazarreta]

@64SWAMPRAT dud Im mexican and I can tell u than Im better than you asshole because we are good workers than all the fucking americans

[64SWAMPRAT]

@sechazarreta you're right sechazarreta. most mexicans I've met are good workers. the problem is that most of them have worked throughout their life earning low wages and thinks it's o.k. to cross the border and screw over our unions that work hard at getting us Americans better wages to give our families better lives. either join us in union or GET THE FUCK OUT....

[rabbithog]

any site where you have polish, romanian,albanian, ukranian, russian,nigerian, IRISH(MAYO),is bound to be a bad site to work on, KEEP THE SITES ENGLISH

[scaffarobbo]

These guys are comming over here with no knowledge of tube and fitting scaffolding . Sheeted scaffolds should have at least 50% physical ties , do they teach this in eastern europe I doubt it . These companies should be banned as well as fined .

[pugtronix]

Fucking hell, I thought I worked for a shit company!

[feralferret]

Anybody hurt?

[flowergardenpond]

Way to go Tom! And nothing like a good slagging match! Who makes the best cup of tea?

[defenderization]

This as got cheap labour written all over it. Nice roof chop on the mini.

[SebaChorzow]

Heh. It was Admiral Scaffolding from Wimbledon. Few years ago, before we (Poland) joined EU I just to work for them shortly, during my study in London. I can even recognize some guys in the movie. I really fuckin hated this dangerous, hard and responsible job. Admiral employ mostly people from Poland, Russia, Ukrain etc. - cheap and fast workers. When I workd for them I have'nt need any permits, no skills exam, nothing, just 2 health hands. I'm not surprised that it happens.

[apeks1971]

your right Seba,funny thing was Admiral reckoned they were not responsible for the collapse,ha ha ha ,they even asked me to drill more hilti holes in the wall so it looked like there was more hiltis even when the HSE were doing their checks,fuck knows how they get work

[TheTeebo]

That's what happens when you use cheap labour from Eastern Europe!

[apeks1971]

220 ft long and 4 lifts high,4 ties on 1st lift only and monoflexed,only a matter of time before it went,you should had seen the rest of the job on front side??terrible,2 days to put it back up and sorry to say 2 polish scaffs and 1 russian put it up,they are still on that firm too

[GTAnikoliberty]

pozdro dla piotra i ani :D

[crazemelon]

[jimmyfurn]

[jimmyfurn]

[shaunaye]

fukin polish

[tuleb]

not surprising fucking thick scaffolders spending more time talking about scaffolding than concentrating on doing their simple mindnumbingly boring job properly,fucking prima donnas, theyre labourers and nothing more,you can hear them on any night out in the town critisising the scaffolding on buildings they pass, big fun,

[shannonbowman]

Tx for not labeling anyone! Your to old for this trash talk. Your are what you speak. Have a super day?!?!?!?!?!?

[tuleb]

that should read "too old" not "to" fuckwit

[fshcake]

not lyndonds boys that 4 sure

[plswifty]

I wonder if CAPES had any thing to do with it?

[mischief83]

it was most prob tied in!

do u know how many jobs ive gone to strike and i stand there stunned its still standing!!!!

its mainly brick cleaners(uk restore's the worst!),painters and pointers who move tubes and take out ties

[popeyescaff]

thats wat happens wen other trades fuk about on are job : oh this tube is in ma way no 1 wil notice.... brickies wat tits

[sammydjr06]

The things people will do just to get a bit of overtime :)

[cannibaltime]

cheap labour

[daveybaby10]

combination of no ties and fucking monoflex turns the job into a big sail and on a narrow street meens its a wind tunnel!!!,schoolboy errors!!!!!!!!

[dougquaid2084]

couldnt agree more sponsmith, the building game is flooded with the pricks

[sponsmith]

German scaffolders are better??? I think not Fritz.

All you cunts can do is play around with stupid system shit and grow silly blonde moustaches!

Someone must have taken the ties out. Probably some stupid Polish labourer.

[WarCry3R19]

german scaffold builder do it better, we are the best of the best ;)

[icecube2T8]

what scaffold firm was it ?????????

[apeks1971]

Admiral Scaffolding mate

[voytass83]

[laupnag]

[10084037]
