Went to a mate’s 60th birthday last night. 60th, fucking hell.

 

6 hours of free bar and no hangover this morning though. I might still have it.

 

What were you drinking though John Smith's?

Brother of mine , who fancied himself as an all-rounder in the building trade and in the absence of any wire strippers , and also believing the power was off decided it would be a good idea to bare a couple of cables with his teeth. 

You can guess the rest ! 

Is this him?

My uncle's mate was being a smart arse once with a welding torch, instead of putting the mask on he took the black eye visor out and held it over his eyes while he welded something with his other hand. When he finished all his face was burned except for a perfectly rectangular patch around his eyes.

Mostly Stone & Wood Pacific Ale, but also a couple of pints of Wolf of the Willows XPA.

 

Here’s the thing though, after my earlier 60th party post, I went to the shops. The girl in the green grocers asked me what I’d been up to over the weekend. “Went to a mates birthday party says I, bit depressing that I actually have a friend who is 60”.

”Oh, have you had your 60th yet?”

For fucks sake.

In Turkey designer sunglasses are the welders go to eye protection.

They are however very good on h&s signage, no-one takes any notice. Not a compo culture here either.

Australia's former PM who was heavily into cosplay publicity stunts had a go at welding
