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.
If you’d like to appear in a future issue please email your photo to pr@theskip.net

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!

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

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

Scott

Cone you believe it?! This month we have two for the price of one in Skip Hunk corner, and not only that they’re also a father and son – the ultimate female fantasy (or is that just any man who enjoys shoe shopping! – Ed).
So then chaps, tell our readers a little bit about yourselves and what you do?
Arthur – We are father and son skip hire duo – a bit like Batman and Robin but without the capes. I’m Arthur Hartley and the younger one, obviously, is my son, James. We’re known to most as Arthur’s Skips. We started thirteen years ago – just us two – and we now have twenty one staff, thirteen wagon and eight pieces of plant.
Impressive! And what do you like most about the industry?
Arthur – All the different people we meet!
Succinct! So, how come only one of you has a jockstrap on? How did this come about?
James – Arthur’s the Linford Christie of the skip hire industry – does that explain? (sort of, but not really! – Ed). Seriously though, this is a photo from a charity calendar we did.
And what do you like about The Skip magazine?
Arthur – Everything! It contains all the different information we need.
Finally, is there anything you’d like to say to our readers?
Arthur – Yes – Good luck to you all in what is a difficult industry. We hope you all have a very successful year!
Lovely! Thanks for your time guys. Now go and put those cones away before you have someone’s eye out with them…

Craig “Crusher” Adkins makes a big impression in the April edition

Hailing from Preston (officially Britain’s newest city – Facts Ed) this months Skip Hunk is Gary Halton, 35, from Able Skip Hire. The question is, will he be ‘able’ to deal with all the female attention once the women of Britain clamp their eyes on his hot, fleshy torso?

You wouldn’t know it from looking at the lack of clothing on Gary, but Preston is famous for its cotton and rayon manufacturing and has been for almost 230 years. It’s also home to the annual snooker Grad Prix, but I can assure you dear readers, I won’t be cracking any distasteful jokes about being able to spot a couple of un-potted balls or uttering the phrases, ‘sink the pink’ or ‘screw back’ for comic effect
So then Gary, what made you want to be a skip hunk?
Well, as you can see I don’t have much clothing and the prospect or a new T-shirt was too much to resist.
Well, who can resist our t-shirts (only £9.99 if you order one now on 0844 560 7706 – Cheeky Promotions Ed). And what do you like about life as a skip driver, Gary?
I like finding toys in the skips and decorating my wagon with them. Most of the lads think this is very sad, but it really impresses our female customers. Young mothers get especially excited when they seem them. I call them my ’Muppets of Love’.
Does anything bore you about the job?
I get bored very easily and I am always on the look out for a new job, so if anyone is looking for a hunky HGV driver get in touch.
I’m not too sure your bosses will be too happy to hear that! What do you do when you’re not driving skip trucks?
As you can see from my ‘toned physique’ I like to work out. When I am not at the gym I spend my spare time cleaning up at home after the wife and kids or visiting the Doctor about my various health problems.
I’m sorry to hear that Gary! Have you got anything you’d like to say before you toddle off?
Can I have my clothes back now please?
Yes, Gary, yes you can. Here’s your trousers, t-shirt and jacket – I think your socks might be down your boxers.
