Skip Hunks

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

One for the Laydeees…

This is more like it – this month’s Skip Hunk comes complete with topless, manly skip pose and everything! After all, who needs clothes in July? (Well, anyone living in the UK and Ireland, I suppose, but let’s gloss over that sad weather fact!) It’s time to
meet John from Robb Skip Hire.
Q. Hi John, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
A. Hi, I’m 27 and I’ve worked here for seven months now. I’ve just been promoted to Sales Manager. I’m sure Carlsberg made this job!
Q. Wow, that’s good going. So, aside from getting promptly promoted, what do you most enjoy about working there?
A. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, having a great laugh with all the people here, and generally taking the p***!
Q. It’s certainly an underrated pastime. What do you like to do when you’re not working, then?
A. I enjoy football, golf and also racing big fast shiny motorbikes (any ladies who want a picture of me clad in leather please write in!) When I’m not doing any of the above, I enjoy being a bit of a party animal!!! He he!
Q. (Any takers, ladies? You know where to write.) So what do you like about The Skip magazine, John?
A. I like all of the magazine, really – it’s a good read. My favourite parts are the pictures of overloaded skips, The Garbage Guru and, of course, it would be rude not to mention all those lurvely Skip Chicks!
Q. Too right! Do you have anything else you’d like to share with our readers or any words of wisdom to impart?
A. There are many things I could babble on about, but I won’t bore the readers too much. Just remember, never wee into the wind! Adios x
(Especially when you’ve got no shirt on!) Thanks John.

One for the Laydeees…

This month’s Skip Hunk is Dave ‘The Pie’ Haskins from 5 Star Skip Hire. You may have difficulty picking him out, what with his face being as red as his truck!
Q. Hi Dave. I’ll ask the obvious question to start with – what’s ‘The Pie’ bit in your name all about?
A. Well, it’s quite easy to explain really. I always have at least one pie a day – have done since I was about 15 I think. (Apart from one time at my Nanna’s in Whitley Bay when the chippy closed early due to a potato theft).
Q. Wow, that’s an impressive claim! So what’s the best thing about working at 5 Star Skip Hire then?
A. There’s an absolutely cracking pie shop two minutes from the yard. Second best is Amanda in the office – partly because she’s a cracking good laugh, but mainly cos she loves pies. Sometimes we eat lunch together on a wall.
Q. So, have you been busy recently then – it looks like you’ve caught the sun on your rounds.
A. Yeah, I’ve been busy. This isn’t sun burn though. My blood pressure’s shot from all the pies.
Q. Oh, right. There’s a down side to all things enjoyable I suppose. So, what’s your favourite thing about The Skip magazine, Dave?
A. The logo. It looks a bit like a cross-section of a pie.
Q. I suppose it does, when you think about it. They say beauty is in the pie of the beholder! Do you have any other hobbies besides pastry products, then?
A. Yes, I’m part of a Band Aid tribute act, actually. We play round the local pubs every Christmas for charity.
Q. Oh great. For a minute there, I thought everything about you was going to be pie related! What’s the band called?
A. We’re called ‘Do They Know It’s Ginsters?’
Blinking heck, that’s enough for me. Pie pie everyone!
