Bless him, but his natural wariness does beg the question what have you done to him before Lee?

 

[LankyWill]

Being foreign, I'd never heard of monkey puzzle clips till now, so here's a pic. But have been sent out to find a few other things ...

I only found out they even had a special name quite recently when one of the guys in the wholesalers told me. To begin with I thought it was a windup or at best a colloquialism like 'monkey spunk' (Yellow 77), 'monkey $**t' (Trefolex) or 'monkey glue' (Gorilla glue).

'monkey spunk' (Yellow 77)

So who was the first person to look at Yellow 77 and say "That just looks like monkey spunk..."? How did they know what monkey spunk looked like????

My dad used to love that. Used to make his own. I'd go to the market for him and get 1lb stewing steak & 1.5lb cow heel pieces.

My old works consisted of two separate buildings. Once asked one of the lads to go and get a box of infra-red light from the other building. He came back with a cardboard box in is hands.. "There's nothing in it...". I told him that he had let out all the light and to go back and get some more. He came back about 15 mins later, empty handed. "They have run out of infra-red light, will infra-blue do?".. Yep... So off he trots and comes back with another cardboard box, this time unopened..

Some guy I used to work for had a theory that every branch of KFC had an elephant out the back of the frying area, with a migrant worker furiously, um, 'extracting' the mayonnaise-like substance from this elephant for the chicken burgers.
