I should point out that I don't often find his jokes all that funny.But the explanations and strident demands for recognition often are. He knows how to poke fun at himself, does Chompy. I can respect that. Not that you'd be the best placed to notice, I suppose.

Alt: I worked at a frozen meat factory for five days when I was 15.It was fucking horrendous. 1989 was a hot summer and by 4pm the meat wasn't quite frozen enough. It stank. I had to wheel huge bins of frozen meat from storage to a ghastly peasant who sawed the lumps into chops.
However it paid for me to go to the Treworgey Tree Fayre - the Woodstock of the 80s (c) my mate Bonz, so it was well worth it.
The best was clearing out a Winchester College boarding house after the end of term, because
a) loads of the students were incredibly rich and/or foreign and thus when they left school simply abandoned good quality stereos, Walkmans etc. and
b) the housemaster was an alkie, and one of his pupils was a Foster as in the beer, who'd got into terrible trouble and had effectively bought his way out of the shit with dozens of slabs of beer which the man let us help ourselves to. Finishing work at noon each day, pissed up and laden with televisions etc, AND the money to buy MDs, was superb, even if the beer was bent.

YesMs Foxtrot's brother has just turned 11 and has had his "summer pod" prepared for him. He will exist in a state of perpetual hibernation in a 4' x 6' wooden cocoon until AA wakes up. As he is not actually a wild rodent he will be awake for the duration of the experience. The horror of being deprived of basic reading materials and statutory incest will incentivise him to cultivate fields and refrain from routinely buggering livestock in his adult life, for fear that "THE POD SHALL TAKE THEE".
I hope this answers your question.

The worst moment was when I was sitting on top of a barrel of thinners, and it leaked. By balls felt like they were on fire, and I had to wash down with cold water in the bogs. All the old hands just stood around and laughed. Then I had to mince home on the underground.

One summer I spent working with Murphy (not Robocop, the gas pipe people).My job was to stand in the trench that the digger was making and make sure it didn't hit any water pipes or similar. Took me about 20 minutes to fail miserably at that.
I've worked on plenty of production lines. They're fine once you get into a rhythm and and can let your mind wander. The worst one was a place that did the tomato sauce sachets for McDonalds, the smell of hot ketchup sticks in your nostrils for days.
