Had 2 Fijian boys helping me build a roof. The day the steels were going in(500kg I-beams) the crane was delayed. I went off to the builder's yard to get something and when I got back, the 2 lads had lifted the first beam clear onto the roof. 😁 It was 3m up to joist level, but we had no scaff and they just used a crappy stepladder to help them. I was flabbergasted. We got the rest up, but even with 3 lads it was hard graft. 2 of the most polite, humble, friendly lads I've ever met, but absolute bestial strength.
This is truly masterpiece, especially the moment he comes to help him. The scene changes so rapidly is created so well, I forget they're the same person
I love islanders. Gentle giants. I work with a few of them in the office… i wish everyone was as nice as them. Smart people too. They never say a bad thing about anybody else… that’s what I love most about them.

I knew a family of Pacific Islanders for less than an hour in a park in New Zealand as a tourist and they treated me like I was a member of the family. Had a sandwich and a cup of coffee and everything. I was literally just sitting down on the grass reading a manga.
As tax payers and tourists in NZ you pay there benefit bra, course your family. The maori dont even appreciate that. They jst burn the flag and say its their right
Best video, too accurate. I was moving houses back in the day and no joke had an islander removalist pick up my fridge that weighed about 150+kgs and just popped in on his shoulder and said "can you open the door for me g" and walked out like it was just another Monday for him hahaha
Worked alongside some islander steel workers. They would eat a whole chicken for breakfast at like 6.30am 😂 Would then throw steel around the job site like it was made of plastic
Hands down the kindest people on earth. Always willing to have a conversation and ask how your day is going. They have all beeen raised with utmost respect. I love them so much.
As a Brit, I had the pleasure of working with the Islanders and the Maori in Australian building sites. Some of the most down to earth people you could possibly meet
As an Aussie I have heard that over in NZ they have crime problems with Maori's and Islanders stealing cars, brawling, forming gangs. All I can say is, we must get all the fucken good ones in Australia coz I have never met a bad one, I have never felt threatened or disrespected once. I was on the train once in a new city and up the back were all these young Maori looking guys, they kind of looked like a gang, massive but young, looked 15 to 17yrs old. They were the most helpful and polite group of young guys you could ever meet, gave me directions to every place I wanted, they made other suggestions, told me which stop to get off at and which other buses to catch. I even felt at some parts of the conversation like they were respecting me as their elder, like because I was a man and they were boys they were putting me above themselves. In this world we have lost our family values, lost our religion, and one of the last and warmest places it is still alive is in Polynesian family's. Their families should very proud of those boys, they have been raised very well.
Manu seems like a good bloke. Always polite in offering guidance as well adhering to safety guidelines and micro managing his staff. Unfortunate about the end part though but workplace accidents do happens. Bad luck Jake.
Was working on a jobsite a while back with this massive islander dude, we had to move some big ass pavers that were 52kg each, everyone's carrying them one at a time cause of course they are, shits heavy, this dude just casually grabs a stack of 3...
@@scaredyet I've watched a Tongan man pick up a 166 kilo steel girder and sling it over his shoulder. If you'd ever been on a job site in your life you'd know 🤣🤣
I dont see many islander electricians but goddam they smashed me at footy. I sometimes felt them try to let me down gently because they knew they could crush me haha

This is all true, I was a warehouse manager for a furniture company and by no means a small man either…but we had a Tongan lad that would just casually carry 100kg couches on one shoulder while telling you about how sick the footy was on Saturday night
Work in events in the UK, still a lot of Islanders working the event crews particularly in London and this is 100% accurate. Along with Saffas, hands down the best people to work with.

They’re some of the nicest humans, but when you hurt their little siblings, they will either smack a volley ball with a fresh serve from Tonga, or they will make you pay in some way. Other than that thankyou shak for uploading today! Enjoy brew, first day of school for me, lol
The REAL working with Islanders experience is: *ring ring* "yeah this is Joseph, I can't come to work today because my gout is real bad on account of me eating a whole sheep and draining a brewery each week"
Worked in scaffolding, and an islander started throwing poles at me during teardown, was great but only because i managed to catch them all quick enough.
Cousin I got a delivery from Kennards and the driver was Polynesian. He deadset picked up a cement mixer with one arm off this truck. I was in absolute shock all day.
Shaun Johnson and my boys knocked out on the ground never laughed so hard like that 🤣 thanks for always entertaining my late night youtube search shaktv we love you uleh 💙🇱🇧🇦🇺❤
I worked in the drilling industry with a few Tongans. One chappie named Saia would casually hoist heavy gauge drill rods to wherever they were required. My nickname for the bro 'human hi-ab'. Hearty.
My best mate's family (all pacific islanders) encountered a burglar trying to break in whilst only the women were home. The burglar ended up in hospital for a few days.
Used to work in the warehouse of a place that sold gym equipment. We had a grip training product called “captains of crush” and one of the sizes only a handful of people had officially closed it. Big islander fella closed it like it was a tissue. He also jumped on the pallet scales one day and exclaimed “lost a bit of weight hey boys” - the scales read 165kg 🤣
Had an Islander offsider on a drill rig, bugger lifted up a 400 odd kilo downhole motor, put it on his shoulder, puffing a smoke & throw the motor on the back of a truck. Flip side is the bastard cooked fish heads and Kava in the fucking coffee kettle until we bought another one
First temp job out of uni was with removal work in Otara in Auckland. I was the skinny white guy working with Māori and Islander’s, had a fun time, worked hard played hard.
I use to work in rail and those old wooden sleepers are no worries (around 30-40kg) but the new concrete ones are like 200kg+ each and the islanders were picking them up like they were nothing 😂
That was nice. Good accents and accurate depiction. These Pacific islanders love this country and like most foreign "visitors" they work harder for longer than the average "Aussie".

I’ve seen a kiwi lift a fridge by squeezing the sides of it, up and over the second story balcony. He just slowly lowered it down to the guy at the bottom who carried it back to the truck
LOL! GOLD! reminds me of a time i worked with islanders in a cold warehouse when we had to pack a 45 ft container row by row(each full row had to be photo graphed) with 10 kg cheese blocks.....
Cpl yrs back was a week into my new job. Removing half a kitchen (water damage) Work partner a Tongan instead of dismantling the entire kitchen cupboards sinks attached etc. Casually walks out the backyard of the clients premises (I had no idea what he was up to atm) grabs all the kids skateboards & lines them up just outside bi-fold doors.
