It pains you being stood up to and called out. 98% of your posts on here are simply deriding others. You are a very sad individual. Called out. Well said, BuddieinEK! It's about time someone called out Faraway for what he really is. He had a cheek putting "Saint" as part of his username, a real Saint wouldn't behave the way he does towards others. He really is a despicable man with a severe chip on his shoulder. He belongs in the Sin Bin, along with a couple of others on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Apologies to the trolls but back on topic.............................. Started watching "Welcome to Wrexham", the story of the Hollywood duo of McEihenney and Reynolds seemingly outrageous bid to take over the Welsh club that had dropped into the 5th tier of English football. I do enjoy an insider football documentary. I can imagine the initial scepticism but, so far, it's all going quite well and the time both these guys put in, not to mention the money, has to be applauded.

As a health & safety manager I was disgusted by the determination of the investigating officer to get a charge in against the poor guy who caused the fire. I was glad the guy was not charged and surprised the crown let it lie rather than going after the factory manager. A vindictive police officer spent a fortune in public money chasing what she thought was an easy charge against a minor player in the event And that burn-test they did in the lab was particularly unscientific. also there was no consideration that the fire might have been started by stray sparks from the lighter the guy used. All down to a ridiculously high level of risk tolerance by the company and historically accepted poor practice. God knows why they banned smoking in there when the key method of classifying a plastic was to set fire to the damn thing I wasn't flabbergasted, I have seen many examples of craziness that eclipse what was shown in that programme.

Minor league stuff How about, a crane operator forgetting to insert the pin that locks the boom before lifting-a man lost his leg from the knee down as a result of being trapped in the collapse but was back at work 2 months later! He did himself out of a lifetime of wages as his compensation because he thought he would be greedy taking more than the standard £150k that the company insurance coughed up a cage hoist designed to take 2 men up a wind turbine being used by 2 standing on top and 2 standing inside as they tied off the cabling around a dozen men getting inside a wind-turbine nacelle (the big box on the top with the sides open) so they can be lifted 90 metres to the top by the cranes a man climbing a wind turbine (90m) with around 60kg of cabling tied to a harness around his waist because he couln't be arsed waiting for the chain hoist to be commissioned a man who swam around the final water tank in a sewage works for a £5 bet, and who then accepted a tenner for swimming in the raw sewage settling tank a man who went looking for a (odourless) nitrogen leak by trying to sniff it out in a wee kiosk in a petrochem plant, luckily when he clinically died for a few seconds from lack of oxygen he collapsed and his head landed just outside the box and the impact caused an exhale/inhale effect that gave him one more breath and brought him back. He wasn't fecking right after it though. apprentices who used to melt ladles of lead and then throw it at each other, one guy's boiler suit went up in flames as they had also filled his pocket with oxygen when he wasn't looking and we had to roll him on the workshop floor to extinguish his ovies. a wee dog was carried off by a large bird of prey that had been brought in by a man who had the contract to keep seagulls away from the sand filters in a water treatment works Maybe I should write my memoirs of a life in H&S, coz there is a whole lot more.

Why don't you ask the Wrexham supporters what they feel about what's happened to their club? As for your assumption, this is an ego trip, whataboutery, like the rest of your post.

No point watching it now as @beyond our ken has told us what took place and what should have happened. 😂 More stories please BoK. Maybe we need a dedicated “mental work colleagues” thread. Many of the incidents I witnessed were as a result of guys being on the bevvy. I’m surprised the guy losing a leg was back at work after two months. Quite a recovery. Was the wee dug ever found?

ALBIONSAINT Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Watched Martin Compstons highland fling episode one tonight. Why oh why they feel the need to ruin perfectly good program formats with woke nonsense is beyond me. First segment a trip to Dunoon ( where they meet a drag artist?) 2nd segment a trip up conic hill with a Muslim girl who states “ there weren’t many like me up the hills” what humans? I wish TV producer’s would get back to creating quality content without shoe horning in every one with a gripe in society. Needless to say I won’t be watching any further episodes.

truesaint Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 New season of 'Black Mirror' has just been released. If you haven't watched any of these, then well worth a watch. The latest series is extremely good and Episode 2 (set is Scotland) has a great 2 liner that will give you a good chuckle. You will know it when you hear it. All Episodes if I remember correctly over the years are individual stories so could start at the latest season and work your way back.

faraway saint Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Just watched the first 2 episodes of Hijack, Apple TV offering. Idris Elba the main character in a well written/acted drama. No need to explain the story but it's bubbling along nicely.
