Brilliant - an apprentice has got engaged without knowing it
The daft **** bought his gf a ring - she assumed it was an engagement ring
and slapped the "engagement" all over facebook. The first he knew about it what when his mother phoned him and said congratulations. He cannot understand why the gf started crying when he told her that they were not engaged! -- Adam |

Brilliant - an apprentice has got engaged without knowing it
Ids he a bit dippy? I'd have thought such a communication breakdown might
have been avoided through discussing the ring before it was given. Also, what is the point of the ring if it is not for engagement? I think if I had been so daft, it would have been better to go along with it at least for a while and see what transpired. One can after all break off engagements if a better choice presents itself or if relations break down. Now what will happen is that the relationship will end, and she will spread the word about him and anyone in that circle of f friends will be watching for the plonker and see big rad avoid the dippy fool will be writ red and flashing.

But why did you tell another apprentice to buy a handbag ;-) |

Oh, c'mon. You can't just throw that in and not elaborate... Well last weekend one apprentice bought his gf a £80 handbag because his gf demanded that he did- so the usual work banter started "You will be getting it on Saturday night etc (and lots more that you need not know)" when he pointed out that despite been with his gf for 18 months he was still a virgin. It was just like that scene in Police Academy when Tackleberry announced he was a virgin - the whole place went silent for the few second it took him it to say it. The advice given out was for him not to buy her the handbag. But then things got better. The other apprentice who does play amateur football took my advice pretended to be a footballer (at Man Utds training academy) and he lost his virginity on Saturday night. Well done son [1]. But then I found out (I have spies) that he had to wait in the bedroom until his mate had finished with her before he got his chance. Boy have we taken the **** out of him for that (and he has a new name). And finally another apprentice got engaged last week whilst on holiday in Greece. He had a ring especially made for her and she said yes - he proposed in a restaurant and had been planning it for months. So both families went out on Sunday for a double celebration - the engagement and her birthday. Now guess who forgot to but her a birthday present? The row got everyone thrown out of the restaurant. [1] On a stag do where you all have to wear identical t shirts I once took advantage of a gullible lady that I met in a nightclub in Liverpool. She asked if we were on a stag do and I said "No - we are the Red Arrows parachute team". And it worked for me. -- Adam |

The truth is - if they are old enough to shag then they are old enough to get their hands out of their pockets and start to learn how to use tools and do some proper work. Either that of they can **** off and live on benefits or try McDonalds for a job. -- Adam |

Well he says he used a condom - I always tell them to. A few years ago one posted a selfie of himself at the GU clinic. Class move that mate - that will go down well when you next make facebook friends with someone you want to shag. -- Adam |

Yesterday I asked the apprentice "can you pass me that invoice out of the dashboard please?" There were only two items in the dashboard, an invoice and a blank piece of cardboard (used on my orderbook to stop cc to the next page). Need I tell you what item I was given? -- Adam |
