Skip Hunks

Skip Hunk – January 2009

Wowsers! The first Skip Hunk of 2010 and we certainly landed on our feet, didn’t we ladies?

Hunky, spunky Craig Steels, 25, has been nominated by his good friend Adam Hargreaves. We asked kind Adam why he went behind his mate’s back to put his photo up for our monthly Skip Hunk Slot. The answer…?

“He is constantly playing practical jokes on colleagues, enjoys driving new trucks around our yard and is generally a stand up type of guy. He avidly follows your Skip Hunk feature every month, often commenting that, his ‘guns’ are far bigger and better than those featured!!!”

So dig the dirt on Craig “Arms of Steel” Steels, then Adam…

“Well, he’s passionate about truck driving, especially Scania (free plug there, Scania!) He drives a Scania Tractor Unit on a weekend for his dad’s firm Normal Steels & Sons. Often delivering sugar beet down to Newark and back. His over hobbies include subbing for the local football team, attending the national truckfest weekends and of course reading the Skip magazine. A copy of which can be found in his bathroom at home!! no joke…. Although he did say his favourite feature was the Skip Chicks…”

Nice to see a red-blooded male getting to grips with the industry’s babes! So any dislikes?

“He dislikes hard work and often complains about poor driving. He is also a big vegetarian and can’t stand the smell of the lads Sausage sarnies on a Friday break time…. Banning the sausages is something he never seems to get his own way on.”

Well, sounds like a good plan if he’s got a body like that, eh ladies? So, there’s a few girls in the office wondering if this hot stuff is taken?

He is not married, but in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart for the last 10 years and have recently just moved into their first house together. His house warming gift to himself was a remote control Scania truck which he enjoys driving his cat George around the bend with.

Sounds like his poor girlfriend is a Scania widow! Tell us about any funny stories about Craig…

When Craig first joined Harsh in 2002 he fell for the usual first day pranks played on unsuspecting trainees. Getting sent next door to Rapide Tankers for a ‘box of sparks’ for the grinder and a long stand. However, prehaps the funniest story was a prank played on Craig a few weeks into with Harsh experience. There is a local air strip which Harsh backs on to. Craig was made to stand outside with Full High-Visibility suit on waiting to direct a plane into land that he’d been told was carrying urgent goods being delivered from a supplier in Italy. Needless to say the plane never did lad and Craig did finally twig on to the joke. He has since enjoyed playing similar pranks on newer greener employees.

Bless him! I’m sure he’ll get his own back when he sees this photo, Adam – watch your back!

Skip Hunk – December 2009

One for the ladies – we like a ripped torso, and this month, it’s Sam from Holywell Haulage who’s stepped up the plate and bearing all in deepest darkest winter for us…What a man!

So Sam, hope you didn’t get hypothermia on your photoshoot, but Adam who sent in the photo said you were in your element, bit of a show-off are we?!?!

Tell us a little bit about what you do at Holywell Skip & Grab Hire Ltd?

“I am the yard manager, make sure the yard runs smoothly try to keep the drivers and the boss happy.”

What is your favorite bit of the job?

“Seeing Paddy smile xxxx and pay day.”

What is your worst bit of the job?

“Saturday mornings and winter but I’m always here rain or snow.”

Good on you lad! Any ideas what the boss has planned for this year’s Christmas party?

“Hopefully a bit of lap dancing with the girls in the office, if they’re not up for it Paddy will be.”

Hang on, who is this Paddy?

“The boss man!”

Right…What do you like best about the Skip mag?

“The Skip Chicks of course but they’re not as sexy as the girls at Holywell, trying to get them to send a picture in but they’re all shy, all very sexy though.”

Anything you wanna say to all those skip workers out there for 2010?

“Keep working hard people, Merry Christmas and have a cracking new year.”

What are your New Year’s Resolutions?

“To dance on Paddy’s lap, he he!! And to keep working hard and get my pay rise sorted out. Would like to find a girlfriend as well.”

Hey up, ladies! A Skip Hunk is on the prowl! We could do a bit of matchmaking here…Whoever wants a date with Sam, email us at pr@theskip.net and we’ll set it up. He’s a grafter, he’s got a good body and by the sounds of it, loves to lapdance – perfect boyfriend material! And remember ladies, a Skip Hunk is for life (well, kind of) not just for Christmas…

Skip Hunk – June 2009

Skip Hunk Kev - Fwooar!

Summer’s coming and things are certainly hotting up – with no little thanks to Stockport’s own Candy Man, Kev from Cheshire Haulage.

Feeling a little hot under the collar, I spoke to our Kev to get the low-down on what makes a hunk like him tick…

So Kev, I can see you enjoy a nice Dib Dab now and again

“Yeah, you could say that…like any red blooded male, I like to dip my lolly in some sweet sugar whenever the urge takes me.”

Er, quite! So tell us a bit about yourself…

“I’m tall, fit and single. And you’re probably now asking yourself, how on earth is a guy this good-looking single? (Er, no I wasn’t actually…Ed). Well I can answer that conundrum – with so many cute honeys around, I didn’t want to be in a relationship and deprive all the ladies of a piece of this fine ass. I’m a giver, and I like to GIVE a lot to my ladies, know what I mean?”

Yes, Kev, you make yourself quite clear. So what do you like to get up to when you’re not with your “honeys”?

“Obviously a physique like mine needs time put aside to maintain, so I work out a lot. My job involves a lot of physical activity so I’m a hard grafter. When I’m not working, I catch up with mates, follow the almighty Manchester City and help out my mum who’s a bit poorly at the moment.”

Wow, Kev! Helping out your poor mum? You have a big heart after all. There was me thinking you were a vain chauvinist!

“Er, no…I’m just trying to get lucky with one of the nurses who visits her. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mum but most of the time, she just tells me to bugger off cos I’m making the place look untidy. Anyway, this nurse comes over Thursdays and Saturdays – a nice bit of skirt she is – so I’ll be there making sure I can be of use. I’ve got a thing for nurses you see. I think it stems from when I was 12 and I had my tonsils out…”

OK, time to wrap up. Last words for any women out there, who may still be reading this interview?

“Love is the answer – but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.”

Right…thanks Kev. So there you go ladies, over-sexed, over-confident and over here. Kev from Stockport. Approach him with peril and don’t say the Skip Magazine didn’t warn you.

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