Well that was a crazy round of golf lol. Yes he soon suused out it was a joke ball, so to be fair we all took turns in using one. So our scorecards went of the windows. We usually like to play competitively meaning we all like to win the round. So this round turned out purely for the fun of it. Which is usually the way i like to play anyway, i'm one of them guys who can never take anything seriously, just call me the joker lol. I remember a long time ago we had a young labourer and occasionally we use handsaws when it's only one of two lengths to cut in half and saves carrying them to the mill. I got one of our old blunt saws which was due for the bin, but i thought i'd play a joke on the lad and ground off what's left of the teeth on the saw. So it wouldn't cut butter lol. I gave it to him and ask him to cut these two pieces of 2.4 in half, watching him trying to even get a bite from the saw was hilarious, he turned to me and asked if the wood was wet because the saw wasn't cutting lol. Cruel i know but it was so funny watching him struggling and trying to figure out why the saw wasn't cutting and not once did he actually look at the saws teeth, just kept looking at the wood. Well he was young and needed a bit more training lol. I did apologise for playing the joke on him afterwards though and he did see the funny side of it. Seems your a nail gun collector, i love nail guns but i only have one lol. Why so many?, are you like me in that you could never throw away a working tool?. I must have about 50 handsaws in my shed and most of them are ok. I really love using handsaws and like you i have a small collection of saws. a few of them are actually about 40 years old and are classics, i'll never throw them away.

Sounds like fun..messing with the friends. Still too cold for outdoors activity around here, but hopefully it will warm up. Only thing I have planned this weekend is to go out & buy a new "gun"..lol. (nail gun). I have way more of those than the other & I like to upgrade whenever new ones come on the market. I must have 30 by now..think I'll sell off some of the older ones

ok new topic i hate guns lol. Going to play a round of golf tomorrow and this one will be fun, because i managed to get hold of some joke golfballs. Which are slightly weighted to one side, ok to hit but when their on the green they do not roll too straight, my mate is gonna go nuts lol and me and my other mates are gonna convince him his putting isn't too good lol. Just hope he doesn't hit us with a club, when we tell him at the end of the round. Hope he doesn't suss out their joke balls lol. They are actually real golfballs but just not centre balanced. Anything good planned for today or tomorrow?.

Thankfully, I haven't ever had to defend myself with one yet! When you buy a gun, there is a waiting period for a background check, some states require registration, but not in the western states. Permits are required for concealed carry use. I got pulled over in St. Louis last year (traffic) & they asked if I had a gun & I said yes, is that a problem..they said nope, as long as they know & then asked.."What do you carry"..LOL

Well i hope you never have to fire one in anger. Do the guns have to be registered and with permits?.

I used to have some pics of crazy stunts with forklifts, but I have lost them..too bad, they were funny.
Yep..I have guns..I was born & raised in rural Wyoming where shooting guns was a hobby & there are alot of hunters & almost everyone is a gun toting type..even though I live in the city now, I still have a few. Makes me feel better knowing I'm as well armed as the local criminals..lol (its an American thing I think)

I've seen guys trying to balance 40 foot poles on one truck and it's really hilarious, must point not from my yard or my guys lol. I've even seen 1 tonne trucks trying to lift 3 tonne timber packs, these guys were obviously amateurs lol. You really have guns DWM?, i have always wondered how American law stands for owning guns. Not sure if this is right, but i've heard all Americans do have the right to own a gun for family protection. Here in England it's totally illegal to own any form of firing weapon and is an imprisonable offense. Only one exception i can think of, is that farmers here are allowed shotguns with permits to shoot pests and vermin, like foxes and wild rabbits which can ruin crops. Personally i would never ever want to own a gun.

Well...at least they hit your car..& not you. (I do have a few guns laying around just in case this happens to me)..
I'm guessing the police do feel a bit silly about having to escort a pole somewhere..they deserve a donut for that..lol
It would be more fun to balance that long a load on one forklift!..(sounds like something I would try (& fail) to do..

Glad you had a great time, it's always fun in merry Olde England lol. Washed the car the other day and when i come out a couple of hours later, there was two dollops of bird crap on the roof. Do these birds just flying around waiting til you've finished cleaning your car, then come along and crap on it just for fun! lol. That is so annoying, if only i have a gun lol. We did have a little excitement at work, we had to deliver a 36 foot telegraph pole. The longest trailer we have is a 28 footer, on trailers in England your allowed a 4 foot overhang with a long load sign attached to the end of it. So being an 8 foot overhang it had to have a police escort, which our company had to pay for and of cause they weren't happy about that lol. Luckly it was only a short distance to deliver it. Silly thing is, we specialise in long lengths yet we don't have long enough trailers to deliver it. So usually it's delivered by an outside haulage firm, crazy i know, but apparantly it still works out better for our firm by not having extra long trailers to upkeep. It's fun watching the guys putting these long lengths on the trailers though, having to use two forktrucks in unison to each other and takes quite a bit of maneuvering skills. Luckly we have great forktruck drivers here, not including me lol.

Made it back..had a great time...& now back to work..
Anything fun happen in Merry Olde England while I've been away?
