only brickies know how to really enjoy work. We are a different breed to all other tades long may it continue. That Easy come easy go attitude is what sets us apart. Happy days.
Great vid good memories...worked in a small town called Rinteln 91-97 with Shane Robin Brian Liddsey (RIP) and Nat, the originals many more coming and going...got out the game back in Blighty...Nothing could match Deutchland.....Beer for breakfast lunch and dinner....Miss it today missed it yesterday and i'll miss it tomorrow......Deutchland NEVER leaves ya........
Love the crack! What got me into this game stories of the laugh my Dad had with his mates had working away back in the 80's. I find these kids today only interested in how much they can earn, it's just not the same when I started. Thanks for the video.
The stories from my grandad and from my dad made me get into this game, yeh everything has changed Iam 24 been on site since 16 but a tell you no better feeling in the world then laying bricks! Bricklayers are made different from all the other trades it's from deep inside if you manage to learn the trade or not and carry it on! The satisfaction is immense!
This video comes up on my Facebook timeline every few years. What a craic that was. When I was asked once by someone what was it like working in Germany, I told them it was like being on a stag night for 10 years. 😂😂🍺🍺🍺
I worked in nermberg for 3 years! It look pretty accurate to me. Brings back some great memory's. I would advise any young lad to get his arse out there.
I keep watching this over and over again what a great bunch of guys grafting and having fun wish I could have learned my trade 20 years before. Glenn and friends your a credit to the trade..
Hi Glenn & Mick Just came across your your videos on TH-cam great ideas on the corner block and concrete block simple but effective for speedy setting out especially for manouvability, also your the first in a long time that has mentioned not to tap bricks to the line that was considered bad practice in the old days I have been bricklaying since the 70,s and am constantly amazed at all simple things that make a brickies life easier . Just ordered 3 hopups from B&Q they are arriving on 31st of December so will be ready for new price job in Dublin in 2022, met and worked with all lads from England ,Ireland, Scotland and Wales in 78 to 80 and 93to 95 a great learning curve for all of us still have 3 german trowels and my german measure rule you lads are lucky as you can share the memories every day, I worked all over Deutchland and took on board a lot of tips one game we used to play was spot the crumb on the German table which we used to bet on, our own table was severely frowned on by the polier who was always handing out bin bags to us, so lads I will close with this,,, I strive to build with love and care upon the level and by the square. Ps agree 100% with the halfs in the wall makes it look great built a lot kliinker in Dusseldorf and Bielefeld like that . Keep up the good work and keep them tips coming in am in my mid sixties now so I need all the help I can get. Machts Gut und bleiben glucklich
Thanks for your reply Stephen. Really enjoyed hearing about your exploits mate. It took me back to those great days with the lads. You won't ever regret getting the hop ups buddy. Stay safe, glenn
At 1.54. That's Ray williams .I worked with him an his brother winkel back in the day..he is the funnest bloke iv ever worked with..Hello Ray and Winkel if you see this from Richard from the Isle of wight.
Oz in the cult 80s tv show made we want to be a brickie, 30 years love my job so much it's not like work, sadly to many unskilled workers want to undercut skilled craftsmen, roll on leaving the EU
Commenting on a video of lads who left Britain to go to Germany coz they needed the work ... and then saying roll on leaving the eu.. 😂😂😂 they shouldn't have let these lads into Germany so
I'M GLENN AT THE END WITH MY MATE NEIL. WE HAD A TOM, TREVOR, JACK, MICK, PETE, KEITH, NIGEL, JOHN, GEOFF, STEVE, COLIN, MARVIN, KENNY, LES, GRAHAM, MARTIN, MATHEW, JIMMY AND ONE OR TWO GIRLS, BUT NO DENNIS. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE VIDEO.
great clip, I bet you got some great memories......I've worked In Oz we had good laugh there....site work is shit back in Blighty, to much skull duggery, full of c*nts now....
Glenn it looks like you had fun for my part I went down under but although I meet some great sorts I think you and I would of got on really well. The problem to day is there is no real pride in the work and all they seem to teach new generation is health and safety and the craft seems to take second place. Banter is a thing of the past on sites as well these day political correctness gone mad. Would have loved to work with the likes of you. Come up here and we can trade ideas and may be improve our own skill sets. 🙂
Wolfgang Von Schaffenberg Mostly English lads I imagine there's some Irish brickys aswell ...early 90s the UK went through bit of a recession and blokes went to Germany as they wanted good tradesman and paid well for it ...the singer is Joe fagin I think ?
Calcium Silicates, SP3's a factory at Ryarsh used to make them, now gone. Great brick below the ground, but on facework, pretty awful, issues with high expansion rates and generally wouldn't bond with the mortar, so free standing walls you would see a lot of lifting from expansion and lateral weakness. Great brick though for compression ie footings....and also we used them as apprentices (80-83) in workshops due to thier sharp arris, easy to cut with a trowel, and regular size.

Mugs game
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TYPE OF BRICKS ARE THOSE? THEY DONT LOOK LIKE CLAY OR CONCRETE.
Michael Owusu Kyereko Lime and Sand are mixed together, pressed into the shape they shall have and then they are hardened with hot steam
Lime- Sand- stone if I translate it word for word
Calcium Silicates, SP3's a factory at Ryarsh used to make them, now gone. Great brick below the ground, but on facework, pretty awful, issues with high expansion rates and generally wouldn't bond with the mortar, so free standing walls you would see a lot of lifting from expansion and lateral weakness. Great brick though for compression ie footings....and also we used them as apprentices (80-83) in workshops due to thier sharp arris, easy to cut with a trowel, and regular size.
Like lego them L funf
Полная хрень!
Love it!!
