Skip Hunks

SKIP HUNK – January 2009

As well as this month’s Skip Chick, our January Skip Hunk is also from Buchanan Skip Hire, in Livingston… and is also in some immensely strange attire! It’s not unusual to have the occasional fantasy about indulging in a bit of doggy style in the workplace, but this is not typically what comes to mind. Let’s say hello to Les.
Q. Hello Les. What’s your role at Buchanan’s? Does it happen to involve eating massive sandwiches, then chasing bad guys around disused amusement parks with your pesky friends, by any chance?
A. Not quite. I am a Manitou driver at the waste sorting plant.
Q. Oh well, close. So what do your colleagues make of your unique style?
A. My boss does not encourage us to dress up when we’re working and thinks we are daft!
Q. In fairness, your boss has quite a strong case there, but we think there should be more daftness in the world so good on you. What’s the best thing about your job then, Les?
A. My workmates are the best thing about my job, and I have a great boss too. Friday is fish and chip day here and we all love it!
Q. Brilliant! Friday should be fish and chip day everywhere. So, what’s your life like outside of work?
A. When I’m not working, I play on my quad bike and look after Moira and my daughter Emma.
Q. That sounds like a lot of fun (as long as you’re not trying to do all these things at the same time, I suppose – that might not be so fun!) Have you ever found anything unusual in a skip?
A. I found a cat in a skip once.
Blimey, I hope you weren’t dressed up as a six foot cartoon hound at the time! Well, thanks for being our first Skip Hunk of 2009, Les. Reward yourself with a Scooby snack, you’ve been a real ‘character’! (Although Scooby Doo is actually a fictional character, but hopefully you’ll overlook this technical inaccuracy in the interest of a cheap gag!)
The Skip magazine is currently on the lookout for more Skip Hunks to grace its pages.

Skip Hunk – December 2008

MERRY CHRISTMAS! A skip hire treat for all the ladies out there…
Who’s popping out of Santa’s sack for your Skip Hunk pleasure this month? It’s Adam from Ipswich, who enjoys hanging around skips with burglary tools whilst sporting a classic “I’m not doing nothing, honest, Guv” look.
Q. Please tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do.
A. My name is Adam, I’m 30 years old and have lived in Suffolk all of my life. I work as a site manager, and am responsible for looking after all aspects of the building and the yard – including our all important skips! At the moment I am single, but if I get to be Skip Hunk of the Month then who knows!
Q. (Form an orderly queue, Skip Chicks!) So, what do you enjoy most about your job?
A. The fact that every day can be different and, of course, all of my lovely colleagues.
Q. What do you like to do when you’re not working, Adam?
A. I like playing golf and watching football. I also like fishing.
Q. So you’re the bloke they make all those birthday cards for! What do you like about The Skip magazine, then?
A. The Skip Chicks!
Q. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever seen in a skip?
A. That would probably be a female shop mannequin, wearing a bright red ball gown – that was pretty disturbing!
Q. Sounds fairly disturbing, but at least Chris de Burgh wasn’t hiding in there singing to it, or you could have been mentally scarred for life. Thanks Adam, do you have any parting words of wisdom for our readers?
A. Keep on trucking!

Anyone for a bit of Muff?

Our August Skip Hunk has been sent in by some admiring colleagues at ABL Skip Hire, in Llanelli, South Wales. Here’s what they have to say…
“Dear The Skip,
After months of browsing your magazine, we have decided that we have our very own Skip Hunk down here in South West Wales and have decided that we should share him
with everyone…
Here are some statistics on our Mr Martin Julian Evans or, as we like to call him, “MUFF”:
1. Born 30th August 1970 – now at the tender Age of 38 – don’t you agree he looks well?!
2. Martin is a fun-loving man who works hard – but plays even harder!!!
3. His hobbies include going to the gym, playing golf, and socialising around the local town of Llanelli with all his mates. Unfortunately, Martin is single at the moment and is in desperate need of a good woman… we love him in the office, he is always up for a laugh and the life and sole of the party keeping us entertained all day long.
We would be most grateful if you would give our Muff the opportunity of being Skip Hunk of the Month, as this would really make his day. He is very self conscious of his looks and we would love all the ladies who read your magazine to agree with the ABL girls…
Many Thanks,
Natalie & Anica, ABL Skip Hire”
Your wish is our command, girls! If any of you ladies out there are interested in Muff, get in touch with us at The Skip and we can pass on your details. Email pr@theskip.net

Skip Hunk – August 2007

Ladies – do you like big men with tattoos, who sweat lots and smell of oil? If the answer’s ‘yes’ – it’s your lucky day.
This weeks skip hunks are Scott (he only has one name – maybe he’s a bit like Prince or Seal – who knows) and Peter Nelson from Armstrong Waste Management in Dumfries. Scott is the one sat in his truck and Peter is the dude in the shades.
Hell hunks! Can you tell our intrigued female readers a bit about yourselves and wat you do?
Scott – I’m the number one skip driver
Peter – And I’m a big hunky sweeper driver
Modest! So, what do you enjoy about your jobs?
Scott – Customer satisfaction (I’m not sure if that’s an innuendo or not – Ed)
Peter – Getting paid
Very honest Peter, but probably not what your bosses want to hear! And what do you both like to do when you’re not working?
Scott – Walking, cycling and motorcycling
Peter – Fast cars, easy women and watching a crap football team – Celtic!
And what do you like about The Skip magazine?
Scott – The Chicks!!! (You’ll be gutted this month then! – Ed)
Peter – The birds (You too! – Ed)
Finally, is here anything you’d like to say to our readers?
Scott – Mine extends! My skip arms that is!
Peter – Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough!
Lovely! And on that final frightening note – thanks hunks, it was a pleasure. Keep on flexing those pecs…
Peter
