Here in the States we called the "poleman" on a survey crew the "rodman". I was a surveyor in central Florida in the 80s. Starting as a Rodman but became the instrument man very quickly. Back then we had 3 man crews. Today, I see surveyors working alone thanks to GPS. I learned to read a transit angles by lining up "hairs" on an azimuth.
@@gy2gy246 Then you’ll know that there is a character known as the Hatter, who is referred to as being mad as in insane. The Mad Hatter is a creation of Disney.
We have sedge in Florida. Not suprisingly it's called saw grass. Once, whilst detasselling corn in Iowa i saw a fellow sliced thru the eyeball by the edge of a corn leaf. Poor chap was less than pleased.
I lost my right eye in Florida while laying brick. A "lineblock" popped loose and hit me square in the eye. I hope the poor guy had a better outcome than me.
They really made this man do all these things 😂😂😂😂😩 (I know he probably agreed to it all) but damn. Him climbing the steeple had me in tears. Clinging onto that ladder for dear life, AS HE SHOULD 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
I was doing gardening for Tony! xD Dirty job at times... unfortunately we have never met. It was his vacation home...of course location will remain secret! :D
Dirty Jobs with my favorite period piece lackey (thanks to Black Adder), Tony Robinson?! Sign me up, I love this series & so sad that I didn't find it sooner
Being a sin eater sounds like a great job for a no-gooder, you got paid in coin and ale to eat bread and salt, and because you're a no-gooder you're already extremely sinful and you know you're going to hell so, well, it's like being charged with armed robbery while serving 3,000 years for multiple mass murders ain't it? I'd probably be a "professional" sin eater if I was born back in those days.
Saw grass is rough, during a biology feels trio to the Everglades in college our professor let us walk thru a patch that was near the trail, my skin is paper thin and tears easily so I declined, I may be blonde but I’m not stupid.
I adore this channel but you need to fire your sound mixer! The music drowns out the narrator! It's so annoying and it happens all the time on many episodes! I've given up trying to hear Tony in much of this episode.
We need an entire documentary talking about Tudor Knackers, not just the ONE well documented example of the one who became a famous executioner.. there was one for nearly each area of england. we need to hear their rural stories too. they mattered a lot to how trades and professions exist today. without them, we wouldn't have prominent candlemakers, entire fertilizer companies, dedicated locations for the processing of leathers that are slowly dwindling out of existence across the globe.. :(
@gy2gy246 a knacker was a profession made out of the bare basic building blocks to other jobs. A leatherworker needs the skin, a farmer needs the fertile bone meal, a chef needs the meat, book binders need the glue, candle makers need the wax... A knacker would wake at dawn, take a wheelbarrow to the streets and search for sick and dying animals or dead ones. The knackers job was to turn those dead animals into useful ingredients in other jobs! That's how they made their living and kept their families afloat.
"Sam on Boffs Island?" "Odysseus the Greatest Hero of Them All?" "Time Team?" "Walking Through History?" "Tony Robinson's Time Travels?" (What a prolific fellow; this is just a fraction of what he's been in according to IMDB).
I mean, to be fair, they've colonized much of the world at some point, so they were excellent and strong conquesters back when that mattered (though things didn't end well for many of the countries they commandeered, unfortunately). So "weakness" is subjective in the context of the British in general. If you mean "physically," then that's a massive generalization spawned by you watching an elderly man doing hard labor, which is equally stupid lol.
You must be from one of the old colonies, butthurt that Brittain came and stomped your ancestors into submission, and left once they wrecked your culture and took what they wanted.
Sheep and goats were domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago so geneticists say. There is a Hittites #mythology, which #inspired ancient #Greekmythology, and traveled to #Greece . In the #original #story #son of the sky #God cuts fathers testicles with a sickle made out of #meteoriron. Greeks translated this into #Zeus, doing the same to his father . In the original #Hittites story the son grabbed the testicles with his mouth and spit them into the #sea 🌊 , and out of the foam of the sea #Venus Aphrodite, goddess of #love #desire was born . Greeks continued the story of Venus’s forces of Aphrodite being untamed, non-negotiable by any other #gods . But she was no longer #goddess of #war. As #Ishtar was in my city of #Ur . Zeus was controlled by his wife #Hera, but #Aphrodite was literally out of #control . #Bogoslowsky .🦁🤴
So bad job!!! As a kid when the Bass would move sheep through the are to higher grounds fro summer and the real young kids were corralled! The Shepards would capture the young rams and would bite their balls off! Seen it !!!!!
