Edit; forgot to say he’s Scottish, so I’m sat here with my England shirt on with the telly/Sky plus on pause just before the time Gazza scored ‘‘that’’ goal against Scotland Euro 96, to put on, …just as he walks through the door, to set the mood.
Sounds like the traditional Christmas day punch up waiting to happen, don’t forget you’re getting on a bit now mate (all wind and ■■■■) so watch yourself
All this planning goes out the window if it turns out he wears skinny jeans, shirt buttoned to the top, big glasses, crap beard and doesn’t know what football is.
At that point Robroy strips off and declares the family are naturists!
That’s maybe one way to scare of daddy’s little princess’s suitor…
wrighty:
I am tipping cream in Westbury this morning, don’t know what I’m doing after this yet but finish tomorrow for two days off then back in over the new year…
triple-time no doubt?
Oh yes wouldn’t be doing it otherwise, tipped Westbury swapped trailers at Stoke now waiting to tip at Foston…would still rather be sat at home with the family eating Christmas dinner but that will have to wait till tomorrow.

Nah I was only joking, the lad is spot on to be fair, and we get on great…I’m a nice guy you know. :
And less of the ‘‘wind and ■■■■’’ Big Roy, not blowing my own trumpet here, but never been known to be one for coming second…(leave it Dipperdave. )
I don’t think my daughter would forgive me if I stripped off Evil, she and her elder sister have never forgiven me for coming downstairs in my mankini for a laugh 5 Christmases ago.

I’m not the world’s greatest football fan, but that was an absolutely epic goal. I was on the boat from Harwich to Turku when that was on, and there were a couple of Scotsmen with us, watching. They didn’t half go quiet.

The first time I used the cooker at home I broke one of the knobs off and the first time I used the washing machine I broke that too. So I’m banned from the kitchen.
Mr Albion used to cook, on account of me being useless in a kitchen. He rang one Sunday afternoon from the pub to ask me to put the oven on to warm up. In short, it cost £80.00 to fix and 3 weeks later we had to get a new oven
I was going to put up a video of the amazing goals Scotland scored against England as revenge for robroys baiting of a fellow Scot but it appears none of them have been caught on camera…

You keep looking bud, and best of luck with that one.

I think the main problem is that the last time Scotland scored against England, cameras hadnt been invented
I was talking to a mate on the phone last night, he is on a 4 on 4 off rota. He has no ties so did not mind working Christmas and Boxing day at all.
The job was take a trailer down to Kent for one drop, reload and and leave it to ship out, change over and back.
When he discovered his firm (small firm 4 trucks) intended to pay him normal time because it was ‘his rota’ he told them he was not prepared to do so, but had no problem working it, but only for a FAIR rate of pay under the circumstances.
They told him they would get one of the other drivers to do it, but they all said no as they had kids at home.
He got double and a half time for Christmas, (tried for treble but compromised) night out plus a tenner, and double time for Boxing Day running back in…turned out a decent earner in the end, then he had 4 days off…result.
It just goes to prove that they do try it on, and will allow and encourage a driver to proceed with whatever he is daft enough to do.
It also proves that it is an option to say no provisionally but then negotiate.
