Skip Chicks

May 2007 – Skip Chick

Spring is here and the Skip Chick feature is back! This month’s Skip Chick is called Sammie and although it looks like she’s about to have some kind of slightly unsanitary skip picnic, I can confirm the lovely white sheet is merely there to keep her jeans clean.
So then Sammie, can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself and what you do?
I’m nineteen years old and I work as a secretary for Smiths Skip Hire in Blackpool.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
We all have a good laugh with each other – especially making up names for sales contacts when clients phone up! Gerald Hardcock is our favourite! – Try it yourself and see if you can keep a straight face when the client rings back.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
I’m a very sociable person – I hate not being out and doing something. My normal routine is going out to the pub and meeting up with mates and having a giggle.
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s very informative and funny too, and all the girls look forward to the skip hunks each month.
Do you have anything else you’d like to say to our readers?
I’d like to know what is the funniest excuse anyone’s ever heard for an immediate skip pick-up? The best we’ve had went as follows – “You have to pick my skip up now! My bitch is on heat!”. I’m still trying to work that one out! We also had one woman who, when I asked her what was going to go in the skip said, “my bush trimmings”. Eeeeww! I then asked my manager if they would compost!
Thanks Sammie and good luck with the bush trimmings…

Skip Chick – February 2007

This month’s Skip Chick is Laura from Recycling Management Services in Cheshire! Laura, originally hails from Chicago but has moved over here after hearing the streets were paved with gold (Americans eh! – Ed), possibly.

Hi Laura! Can you tell our readers and little bit about yourself and what you do?
Well, I work as a Marketing Assistant for Recycling Management Services and I like to work hard and play hard. I also like horse-riding, deep pan pizzas and baseball – I’m still a Chicago girl at heart.
Chicago eh! I know a bloke called Paulie from Bronzeville on the South Side. Do you know him?
Er, no – Chicago’s massive. Nearly 3 million people live there.
Oh right! It’s called the Windy City isn’t it? Paulie is really windy, he’s forever breaking wind.
It’s not called the Windy City because the people who live there are flatulent. It’s just a windy city – the weather that is.
Ok. Have you got any strange or funny stories you’d like to tell our readers?
In 1998 a rich friend of my mothers, who’s just over 60 and very vain decided she needed a face-lift. So, after talking to a number of the world’s top surgeons she met one young London doctor who assured her that he could make her look at least fifteen years younger using a new technique he’d discovered. The technique involved placing a small screw behind each ear so that she could tighten her face once a week in order to maintain a fresh young look. Well, the operation was success and my mum’s friend was really pleased until September last year when she noticed huge bags developing under her eyes. So she travelled over to the doctor’s surgery and demanded to know why the bags were developing under her eyes. The doctor replied, “Lady those aren’t bags, they’re your boobs, and if you don’t stop turning those screws you’re going to have a beard!

What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s really funny and colourful. It’s not stuffy like lots of other trade magazines out there.
Before you go – Do you have anything you’d like to say to our readers?
Knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
Deep! – Thanks Laura…

Barbara is from Poznan on the west-side of Poland and she currently works as a Marketing Specialist for ‘A 2 Shred’ – Cheshire’s confidential waste shredders, using her ample talents to open new accounts!
‘Wyglądasz super’, Barbara! Can you tell our readers and little bit about yourself?
I’m 26 and I like working hard. I also like touching fences and wearing hi-viz jackets!
What do you like about your job?
The people. Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
What do you do in your spare time when you’re not immersed in the world of shredding?
Well, not many people will know this but Poland is the world’s biggest exporter of beetroot! Fortunately I have nothing to do with beetroot. I like spending time with my boyfriend.
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s funny
Do you have anything you’d like to say to our readers?
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?
