I do beg your pardon.

Understood.
When I was an apprentice back in 1966 I served my time with a very old
school plumber. He was a total **** with me and worked me like a dog.

In his eyes I was a bone idle ******.

Were you a bone idle ******:-)?

This was the days of standing
at the bus stop in the ****ing down rain.

Those days are still there. I still pass an apprentice at the bus stop most
mornings. I could pick him up at his house on my way to work and save him 1
hours travel time. In fact I used to do that until he was late twice (still
in bed) when I arrived to pick him up.


I now give the little **** a blast on my van's horn and show him two fingers
as I pass him in a morning.
