The Remarkable CM Community Thread

Great video watching those 5 scatters roll in, only wish they were on my screen :p

I managed 1-4 in the bonus earlier this week and the ladybird was centre of reel 5, basically missed all 5 by one reel position, I was of course of my sad little 10p bets lol :oops:

MY guess will be 1,234 feet please :D

Edit just re-read the rules lol :o :o: - 37612.32 centimetres please!

Needs to be in cm mate, not feet
 
Also was on the spanner’s last year in London, was a few miles from Heathrow.

Have worked in Heathrow terminals 2 and 3 before.
Very easy work as they use mostly aluminium gear for their internal works. But all atmosphere there is a bit crazy. You can get 80 quid fine for not having the front of your hi-viz vest done up, also if you have a temporary pass you must always be visible to one who has a permanent air pass. If you want to go for a fag - be prepared for a 15min walk and only together with someone who has a blue pass.
My first week there was nuts as I don't like such prison rules, but later on, got accustomed to it as the money was good :D

I was just outside, isleworth.

Done Canary Wharf, and numerous others in the city.

also worked on Cambridge uni, that was a nightmare as everything had to be sheeted and protected.

also was hell on when we drilled into the buildings to tie in haha, never mind the labourers dropping 20’s all over the place.

the locals as well topped out at chest height on some of them, stripping it was a nightmare for some of the lads not used to 20’s having came straight from offshore where a 16 is the biggest you get unless it’s a design job with aly.

At the moment I'm back to that company I mentioned before which mostly uses dog bones, no longs and literally all 13ft boards are clipped. When they come across a splay scaffold they go nuts as they haven't got a clue how to joint it properly together... :D

What company is that?

I had the same issue when I was in London last year with splay’s, the London lads where clueless, all had them impact drills and where clueless mate, also every sleeve had to be spliced even If they where set out correctly not in the same bays.

We used them dog bones too, wasn’t a fan.
Prefer the old tube and fitting any day.

was a agency I was on for who my mates got, got a decent day rate and the hours and weekends where on.

Was a nice change from offshore but a lot harder graft haha.

I said previously, but you probably forgot, it's Lee Marley Scaffolding&Bricklying. It's a big company which always has work, but their management is 20-year-olds without scaffolding background. It's quite fun to work there... :laugh: , the only plus is that my work is only 6 min away from my station and with the money I get, I king of happy enough...
 
18,288. 600ft approx
Just shy of Canary Wharf ,-)

I worked a week on night shift on Canary Wharf before quitting due to spending the daytime online and not sleeping enough ready for the nightshift. Was so tired probably spent 75% of the time there climbing the 8329 ladders like donkey kong.
Was not a scaff, was not a tradesman of any kind, literally the most useless DIY guy they could possibly have found on the planet to employ. Was not even legally old enough to be there lol. Step dad was a carpenter there who got me the job.

I learnt nothing except that while at the top of a building high amongst the clouds, it's not really a good idea to walk backwards if sweeping the floor. Especially if you haven't slept much and had smoked a fat blunt before going up there. Someone shouted my name as I was trying to look like I was worth the £130 a night they were paying me. I stopped sweeping when hearing my name, looked behind me and there was nothing to see but dots on the ground below, far far away. Close one.

Toilets were amusing, empty cans of stella and fosters left on the floor in almost every cubical.
I tightened a few bolts using a spanner that was probably bigger than I was, while sitting on some scaffolding pipe with no safety harness. Nearly slipped off that too. Though the bolts didn't really move and since I was having trouble remembering if it's clockwise or counter clockwise, I can't really say if my effort had a positive or negative impact. Afaik no massive building has collapsed there yet. So at least that's good.


Also, wtg guntis!

Lefty loosey, righty righty lol
 
@Guntis
Good choice dude. Got me a 70cl JD from sainsburys last night, the usual yearly xmas offer where it is reduced from £26 to £16. Suprisingly even woke up with over half a bottle left too.
But yeah, the pretend carpenter job - probably wise that I didn't keep it up. I actually wrote tube but after careful consideration replaced it with the word pipe instead. :(
 
Ok, here I'm again and again with the 5 scatter win on Lucky Lady's Charm! :D

So, in order to win 3 prizes by £50 (or equivalent in other currency), you need to guess a height in centimetres - the highest point at I have ever worked.

I won't be able to prove it of course, but there will be 100% honesty from my side!

Clue: My main source of income is scaffolding, and the longest tube we scaffolders use is 21 feet or 6.4008 m or 640.08 centimetres, I'm not in the USA, Canada, Dubai or anywhere in Asia. I work in London UK which can give you a rough idea of how high their buildings and scaffolds are.

Use your calculators or counting frames! ;)

The competition finishes on Tuesday at 21.00 BST.

Rules: 50+posts, only one answer.

Good luck!

Was hoping for an uneducated community as we sure dont seem to know much about slots and i googled the Shard straight away so i will now guess 12,000 cm which seems lowly but still a good height for a scaffie......the further the better :p

Congrats on your win!

Oh and thanks for the comp.

From my experience, the lower to the ground the better! Money is the same as if you would work 1000 feet up in the air plus it's safer. :)
 
It is not forbidden to be lucky - give it your try, mate! :)
Fair enough... But i did my research so i will probably win again.
I googled "Guntis scaffolding" and found this picture.

If im not mistaken thats Mount Everest, which would make the highest place you have worked somewhere around: 884 800 cm above sea level.
You already have my paypal adress, thanks in advance.
 
Ill sit on the sidelines for this one @Guntis
I won on your last comp and from bambers comp, but didnt manage to pass it on.
Its too much pressure, i cant handle it.

Don’t be such a fanny, place a guess mate! I’m pretty sure my fellow scaff would appreciate it.

I was having a dig at scaffies having worked on sites with a few gangs over the years.

Albeit a cheap and obviously poor oneI.......It was really funny in my head last night.

Probably one of these I deserve...........

And breakfast fast as i am speaking like Yoda......
 
@ternur, my music fellow where are? :confused: Haven't seen you guess yet!

I was summoned? Been busy with work I was drunk.

So you managed to win again G? That's great, WTG!

I'll take a guess since this is Guntis money, it's like fairy dust. I don't know if this has already been guessed, but I'll go with 20299.7 cm (since it equals 666 ft).

Thanks again for the comp Santa :thumbsup:
