It's the one tool you will see them take home with them but don't be carrying anything else apart from an energy drink in the morning and beer on the way home.
Why is this, why not leave it at work?

The spirit within must be fed and worshipped, lest it become angered, in which case it might give false readings and you'd end up with sloping shelves.
Shrood bunch of lads, builders.

That aside I haven't lost any money. I sold my strat for more than I bought it and can return the Tokai.

:nod: but you know PSRB I still only have a PS3. my wife gets suspicious when she says why don't you buy some new shoes or jeans. I say nooo later I have no money left this month. Oh look here's the postman with my parcels.
I've calmed down with phones though I do have an iPhone 7 now but I waited a while before getting it. and I only got it as my old phone fell apart.

Much the same with me, iPhone 5 died and thought I should probably get a 4G phone, so have the iPhone 7.

Robbery of builders tools, often from their van, is in fact a very lucrative black market business as they can easily be sold on within a very short period of time.

Anyone who has a sign saying that no tools are kept in their van overnight DEFINITELY has tools in their van overnight imo.

Quite. Simply trying too hard.
This type of robbery is rife in Ireland and I believe, knowing of some chaps at my football club who have fallen victim, it is quite the loss to the builder type as basically he is unable to work the next day resulting in a loss of earnings and a resultant large outlay to replace said items.
I expect Sir C to have a comment to make here.

:shrug: It's a tragic situation, sw. Very sad indeed.
I assume the victim simply calls the EU grant hotline and gets showered in more UK taxpayers' money?

No, I think the prescribed course of events is that they ring An Garda Siochana and inform them of the crime, AGS then sympathise and tell them that they know who is responsible, normally travellers, but inform the victim that they can't do anything in the absence of evidence.

That is indeed quite the meal there PSRB, all you are missing is a starter of a Fillet O Fish and 6 Nuggets as a side.
If in the unfortunate event that I am to be sentenced to death this is what I am asking for.

Never been keen on a fish burger, perhaps one of the spicy KFC burgers as an extra. Oh and the nuggets have to be McDonalds, even the elder daughter turns her nose up at BK's effort

Master WES is obsessed by their burgers, and Master WES is a burger monster.
Bacon and cheese burger with lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo, mustard and ketchup, is his choice I believe.

Cheeseburger "all the way" or whatever the appropriate term was for every topping they had. Messy as fúck all the same.
And yes, pricey for what it is.
Preferred Byron when I was last in your city.

Welcome to Fashburger where Fash is King.
What can we have on the menu?
Fashfingers? Fillet O'Fash which is an Irish fish dish served on Fridays.
Every 5 burgers you get 'Fashback' which is my loyalty scheme.
Our meal deal is called the Fash-onplate.

A student ordered a MCDonalds burger on one of those new machines where you can take out what you want your burger to go without
She took out :
the tomato
the lettuce
the goo
the cheese
the patty and the bun
She was charged 99p for a nothing burger
