The bricklayer is dead

[ozwinner]

Hi all

Well after many years of agonizing as what to do when I reached my use by date as a brickie, we, as in the missus and me, have decided to become sellers of antiques, bric-a-brac, second-hand junk.
We have just bought a leasehold just north of Melbourne, so all things going well, we should be in business in about 4-6 weeks..

If anybody has any GOOD wooden items that they wish to sell on consignement, please get in touch with me via PM.


Cheers, Steptoe :)

Apparently, Wilfred Brambell was an alcoholic.

That is awesome. My much loved fater-in law was a top brickie in Devonport, and was stolen by the big C at 64, just after he'd completed the shed to die for (bad analogy). Enjoy,enthuse, hug every day. Good Luck.

[vsquizz]

Good Luck Al.

I don't have any GOOD wooden items I can part with but I can mail you over a bunch of really hungry white ants if you like?:) .

Cheers

All the best Al,
good to see you got out before you couldn't do anything at all (as a lot of blokes in the building game do). Does this mean that your secondhand section will have a collection of red setter trowels, buckets, pins, stringlines, cement mixer etc etc etc? I'm pretty much out of being a carpenter now (bad back and shoulder) but still can't part with the majority of my gear "just in case". I'm using some of it in my new calling as a cabinetmaker but all I've let go has been my Ramset gun (which never got a lot of use anyway) and a mate is buying my @%*&!! RAS, which has never paid for itself anyway (and we'll see how long he stays my mate after this :p ).

Good luck Al, hope it all goes well for you and the cheese & kisses.

Has she reminded you yet that you have to actually part with some of the crap to make a quid? :p

I can see it now - Al the Junkyard Dawg. Hope you have a long & happy retirement.

Cheers........Sean

Dan

[ozwinner]

Dan,

You are assuming the bricklayer was murdered and murdered by Ozwinner and murdered by Ozwinner in a place where murder is illegal.

The facts have yet to be established before you could consider prosecuting.

Didn't Steptoe have a skeleton? Was this the skeleton of a bricklayer?


- Wood Borer

[bitingmidge]

Can I say that the body is missing intermittently, and has rarely been seen for some days now, although occasionally we get a whiff. (See post #23).

Let's examine the FACTS as they are reported in the press:

On Channel 7 we hear about a shock murder mystery where an accused person is allowed to go into business selling weapons or materials that could be used to make weapons or it's not fair because they can't report any of the real truth because of an exclusive deal with another network. The butcher across the road is interviewed and tells about the comings and goings of the new tenant, bringing in all this old junk and not taking anything out...it would be easy to hide a body in there.

On Nine, we have relentless advertisements about exclusive interviews with person having mid-career crisis, fruitless body searches as well as searches for bodies, while a smug 'Arold just sits there grinning for the camera (on legal advice) in the knowledge that the bricklayer will never be found again. 60 minutes will run a full length feature on similar bricklayer disappearances, and an Alien race would deny responsibility.

On Two we hear a short "Mystery surrounds the disappearance of the bricklayer...woodies are investigating"

On SBS....."Arsenal 2, defeated Manchester United 1"

The bricklayer meanwhile, is really alive and feeding wood through a sander mid-week, cos now he has to work weekends.


Cheers,

Perhaps we need guidance on this one. Can someone be charged for murder where the body is dead, alive, dead, alive, dead, alive, dead, alive,dead, alive, dead, alive?

Is this like car indicators that work intermittently?
