Emlyn did a great Job chopping several hundred polystyrene tiles "off" so we could start metal work on the ceiling. I confess I did suggest to him that he should use "head and shoulders" given the dandruff propblem he obviously had, but he assured me that he didn't actually have any hair and it really was the disintegrating tiles that made us feel like we were in Santa's grotto. In this next episode you will see a glimpse of Emlyn's artistry (now in his michael angelo phase), and the soothing tones of a John B C playing ( I think??) his concerto for Makita HR2470WX/2.
Beautiful I'm sure you agree. However there is something even more beautiful... and that is the way that John D was operating the sweeper system. The more mess Emlyn created the more John was inclined to mix it with concrete dust and scoop it into a beautifully neat pile of mess. I'm sure you will appreciate from the video how talented John is at this... we are hoping to make a short documentary on his technique, which has been honed over many years, and should be passed onto future generations.
Isn't it a beautiful techniqe? Especially when operating the vertical sweep to overcome the extension cable, this is the kind of supreme operation we miss with the less experienced members of the team.
Well that's probably enough sarcasm for one day, but before Igor switches the light out on the basement for this evening, maybe I should give you a refresher course on some basik Ukrainski. The kind of stuff that would get you through a stint on the team.
UKRAINIANSKI U.K.SKI---------------------
"SCHNIPS PACEBA" " Could I possibly borrow the metal cutting implements please
old fellow, thank you awfully "
"JOHN ?" "Where has John gone ? I think there are several more things we
need him to go and buy from the shopping center."
"CHOOT CHOOT" "You need to bash the big piece of metal a little bit with that
club hammer mate, otherwise it well aint straight !"
"Chai, coffee, BISKWITS" "Ok gentlemen you all look well sweaty and in need of a
breather, so go stuff yourself with cake and buscuits and
I promise I won't tell the wife"
"AI AI AI " "oopsa daisy, I think dear young Joe may have had a small
missap with the hammer drill again. Oh hold on a mo its
ok, he's not bleeding as much as last time and besides Rob
still has some plasters left"
Well I think that covers the basic refresher module, maybe next time we'll manage level 2 if this is too easy for you. Now it really is time for lights out so thank you ladies and gentlemens (plural in ukrainian speek), for all your faithful prayers and support, we appreciate it and God has been so good to us. I will leave you with this symbolic video. "Please sleep like a baby" (Ukranian for ... "we don't have any buscuits left, go to bed please")
Love BLOGSKI
