Fcuk me it’s all these spineless puffs who can’t carry em, anyone remember when they came in pairs and you had to rip the paper off the ends to split em? I did it once and the spreads split my head open, “1 F*****g board ya c**t! That’s no good to us now hurry up or we’ll f**k off home and leave you here loading out and come back tomorrow!” f**k that has anyone ever been to the nechells in Birmingham? I’ve never loaded three floors out with boards, skim and tough coat in my life lol
