What are you moaning for.....you've got the old execs chair and you just have to look up at the computer. What's that??? Your arms are sore??? It keeps you from slouching and getting a midriff bulge...... saves a fortune on gym costs.

Who's your H&S person.......You don't need one?? Of course not as long as you've read the old H&S poster on the wall you WILL be safe!!

Your torch battery has run out in a confined space and you can't see? Just use your lighter, it'll be fine...

What do you mean "there's supposed to be a toilet"? "...you should have gone before coming to work!"

It's only an Accident if it's your fault ...anything else is an acceptable Occupational Risk.

Safety boots only protect your toes ...your toes only account for 19% of your foot ...that means 81% of your foot is unprotected. Not very safe now are they?

I fully understand your safety concerns about going up there on the forks of the FLT...how's about I send Brian up there with you? He'll hold onto you.

Nobody's going to stupid enough to do THAT are they?

OK ...so, for your PPE ...Safety Goggles, Hard Hat, Boots, Gloves and the Hi-Vis jacket - that'll be £54.11 (for an extra £8 you can have some Ear Muffs ;) )

Wouldn't it be absolutely fantastic to be able to say that - every now and then

Hi Vis yellow just doesnt match your outfit... maybe you should go without, but tommorow, wear those black skinny jeans with your sandals - its a good look on you

OMG Look at your fab new hair do! don't wear the helmet today, you dont want hat hair on that head! im well jel!

you look hot in your ray bans sunglasses... dont worry about the goggles they are only plastic anyway what good are they going to do...?

if you run through the workshop with your hands over your ears and get out quickly it lowers your chance of getting hurt therefore you dont need any ear defenders on, i do it all the time
