    Twitchy - malingering so and so.

    I've had some experience with some lazy people, some really lazy people and then people that just make me wonder how the hell the work up the effort to breathe. But today, with no word of a lie I have witnessed the bar being raised to a new level.

    now I admit, given that the vehicle is auto, v8 disco and it has aircon and Ive got to change the powersteering box (which is now out with the arm off after snapping my puller), the auto cooler lines, service the auto and change the VC for the fan. I can understand the concept of trying to get out of working on it but even with this considered this is by far the best effort I've seen to get out of doing some productive work on a vehicle.


    So at about 10:15ish I roll round and there he is semi collapsed on the floor in front of the sink what appeared to be mid heart attack. Ambo called, kids taken to my place and the disco driven round when the ambo took him away to the hospital with his swmbo following in their other car.

    Inconsiderate bastard didn't even have the decency to make the coffee before having a hearty.

    (hes actually OK and is currently in hospital waiting on test results and should be out later tonight, more info as I get it)

    Jeez, some blokes will do anything to get out of work!







    Wish him all the best and I hope he makes a full recovery - he's too young for that sort of shenanigans!
