Old Boggy Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 The guy in the 9th. picture down looks like he's already lost his left hand. We like tradition here, but cannot see that catching on. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be at the coast fishing. But it will be on New Years Day also. 1 hour ago, K85 said: There free to make there own decisions and the resulting natural selection that is lost with enforced health and safty I honestly can’t recall anyone ever getting hurt. Some busted guns and a small bleeding but never ambulance ride hurt. People sometimes pass out because of the heat mixed with alcohol but nothing explosion related.

panoma1 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Everyone is responsible for their own health and safety, including those they mentor, tutor, manage or supervise! Health and safety regs are there to protect everyone, except those that can be proven responsible for an accident!.....but it can smack a bit of the "nanny state" If PSE is available, it is up to the individual whether he uses it! But if he chooses not to........responsibility should lie with him!....and that is not always the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 That sucks, when I worked at Frito-lay they started making us wear beard nets. It’s was horrible! They said we would have to shave to avoid wearing one which was bull**** because our boss lady had a good 1/4in goatee. But they where scared to asked her to were one. I told them that any man that shaved his beard for a job didn’t deserve the beard or the job. I quickly found new employement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if your in a store you walk out and pop one off in the parking lot. If I owned that gas station, I might hit the pump isolator (fireman’s switch) just before they start popping… Looks like a great tradition, reminds me of the Simpson’s quote “Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it…” Seems far more family friendly than the British tradition of chavs letting off fireworks in the street for most of the month of November.
