Friday night saftness sets in...

Useless trivial banter....

Are you a fashion icon in your safety gear..?B-)

or do you just look a prat !? :(

Do your colours clash?

Are you a Hi-vis vest / big chunky Jacket / waistcoat / T-shirt or other type of bod..?

Do you go the whole hog and have the trousers as well?

Are you a Hi Vis Yellow or Orange sort of person?

What colour is your helmet? (oops sorry vicar), :p Hard hatBlushing White / Blue / Other

Plain black boots / Brown / Snazzy Trainer type footwear ?

And when you have all this on.. Does your bum look big in it??? :D :eek: ; \

p.s.

I is just a boring Yellow waistcoat & white hat sort of guy! :p :|

 
well i made a fashion mistake of allowing g/f to flick through PE mag...

when she came to the Snickers ad she looks at me and say 'you should get some of this, it looks great' with a lustful look on her face... so i goes and get all togged up

walks in living room holding my drill in my hand, she looked up and laughed her head off......

good stuff though but i had to sleep with four lady customers just to get me confidence over this knock back..... (joke)

 
Got all except the trousis in shiny, hi viz yellow. Trouble is, the t shirts have been washed with kids sports kit and not exactly the original yellow any more, and the jacket is certainly past it's prime. I don't THINK I look a pratt, but sure looks scruffy. I'm hoping the powers that be will get round to issuing some new stuff soon. Boots are trainers with toe caps in a nice green that doesn't match or coordinate with anything! Not sure what colour my helmet is, but I do know it's in the van (somewhere......)

 
Helmet = one white hard hat & one (starts to mumble)luminous pink pacific helmet with eye sheild & torch

Eye ware = Edge safety specs

Vizzy = yellow waist coat type

Water proofs = Hi viz yellow jacket & trousers

Footware = Dewalt & cat safety boots & bog standard black trainers.

Gloves = None

Mask = sillicone Half Mask with filter.

Trousers = Snickers in twotone blue

 
New , excellent pair of "Groundworker" safety boots, lightwieght, tan colour. Scruffy old jeans, blue sweat shirts , blue hard hat and viz waistcoat in van somewhere. Had a Snickers bomber jacket for ten years now, seems to be indestructible black material, must be space suit material. Need a new one.

One thing I take seriously is a bin in the van for face masks( can't take that loft lagging !!!) a respirator type mask,(saves your glasses steaming up with the paper ones)

Safety goggles, and hard shell knee pads (Can't kneel without them these days, knees shot now !! :( ) Blimey how sad is this :(

We never knew! There's no need to hide these things. We now have the only *** on the forum? ;) JL assures me the leather pants are just a comfort thing :)

A drugs company gave me a hi-viz wastecoat with 'VET' on the back in big letters. Have it in my car but have not needed to wear it :D

more like the drug dealer gave you a hi-viz with 'VET' on the back so you could say that ketamine you have is really for your job and not for other purposes....

When they talk about ketamine on the news they always call it a 'horse tranquilizer', to make it sound nasty and dangerous. We use it on horses but also on puppies and kittens as it's really really safe! :^O

It is used in people in combination with other drugs and at accident scenes for people in sever pain (often when they call a doctor to an accident scene). It doesn't lower blood pressure like most other strong painkillers and sedatives.

:D

 
Blimey...

thats quite a lot of reply to a bit of mindless drivel!
