heres a joke to celebrate finishing work early on a friday

Q.whats the hardest part of roller skatting

A. telling your parents you are gay


Peteff - 10/12/04 at 04:19 PM

It probably works better in the original Welsh.


Alan B - 10/12/04 at 04:30 PM

Me too......way over my head........


Hellfire - 10/12/04 at 04:40 PM

Hmmm?


skinny - 10/12/04 at 04:58 PM

maybe that says more about you guys than you realise! or have i missed some sort of irony in the last few posts... :p

without wishing to be pedantic about spelling, perhaps changing skatting to skating might help someone out?

Erm...sorry, says what about us?

Does the original joke imply that there some correlation between skating and homosexuality, and that it is common knowledge?

Again.....sorry way over my head again...

And yes I'm fully aware of the meaning of scat, though I assumed that "skating" was the intended word.

I'm in Llantrisant quite a lot as that is where all my family is. My parents emigrated to Berkshire


farmboy - 11/12/04 at 03:48 PM

well i was a student in cardiff, i did town planning (dont ask me why) what about you. this year i get to earn a pitance on a placement year at cardiff council.

so free planning advice if anyone wants it, but dont expect anything useful.


Peteff - 11/12/04 at 05:19 PM

Nobody ever does. . My mate's an Architect/Technician and he hates Planners and Quantity Surveyors. Very often he'll draw a job out and have calcs checked by an engineer to make sure it works, then he submits the plan and they want everything changing. Power trip we reckon. I helped on a roof job where the timbers we were using were 7"x3", they wanted them all reinforcing with steel [ beams with bolts at 2 foot intervals. The reason for that was in case we had heavy snow.

Volvorsport - 11/12/04 at 05:32 PM

yeah , roofing situations have to be able to with stand 12 inches of snow minimum , which is quite a bit of weight on a roof thats under engineered , altho 7x3 wold have been ok . Having reroofed quite a few garages with GRP , ive seen some total disasters.

the man with the job at the planners - whats the difference of cold roof / warm roof and the insulation value that buiders have to build to ?


Peteff - 11/12/04 at 05:48 PM

This was a roof with a 40* pitch, not a flat roof and timbers spanning14' which they were well in spec for. Cold roof is not ventilated, no eaves or ridge vents so permeable felting is needed under the tiles. It applies to pitch rooves with a loft space, warm roof is vented. Don't know why it's called that though.


farmboy - 11/12/04 at 06:33 PM

that's not a planner who said to do that, that's a building inspector. completly different job


Peteff - 11/12/04 at 06:49 PM

I'll apologise then. To all planners but not the QS's. edit :- If you'd said ballroom dancing I would have understood it.

Scat is excrement, jazz singing is on a par with it. I've heard Cleo Layne, nuff said. edit :- type scat in google and be prepared for some horrible sights.

[Edited on 11/12/04 by Peteff]


stephen_gusterson - 12/12/04 at 12:20 AM

Alan B - 15/12/04 at 09:47 PM

Yep...agreed.......

So......what is the joke about?

Anyone????


type r1 - 19/12/04 at 02:44 PM

farmboy,

i'm an ace rollerskater and i'm also 6'4" and very definitely heterosexual.

is it fair to assume that because you live in wales that you commit acts of bestiality with sheep?

thought not.

dom.


liam.mccaffrey - 19/12/04 at 03:49 PM

he was only having a jibe, i sense you are offended?

i'm welsh and i know some of the best welsh sheep jokes going,

anyone know why welsh people always ask for velcro gloves for christmas?
