00:00 - 00:03 | We are 3 weeks into our current building project |
00:04 - 00:05 | We were chosen as contractors |
00:05 - 00:07 | to build a swimming pool here in Mijas Costa |
00:08 - 00:12 | The property owner is called Paddy Fitzgerald |
00:12 - 00:15 | and all going to plan we should have the pool built in 8 weeks |
00:17 - 00:19 | So, 3 weeks in already |
00:19 - 00:21 | Are we on track to hit the 8 week deadline |
00:24 - 00:26 | My Fuhrer |
00:27 - 00:28 | well.. |
00:31 - 00:33 | Paddy Fitzgerald is interfering in everything we do |
00:34 - 00:36 | We are weeks behind schedule |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you have already fallen out with Paddy Fitzgerald leave the room now |
01:13 - 01:15 | Who does this guy think he is |
01:15 - 01:17 | This is not how we do things here |
01:18 - 01:23 | we should be nearly half way through that pool |
01:25 - 01:28 | I've got tilers and plumbers ready to go |
01:29 - 01:31 | and cement mixers lined up waiting to pour |
01:31 - 01:34 | We're not all retired with time on our hands |
01:34 - 01:37 | time is fucking money we've another pool to do after this |
01:37 - 01:40 | Please tell me you asked him for another 10k upfront? |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, Paddy Fitzgerald won't give us another dime |
01:42 - 01:46 | I don't care what this bloody Mick says, you tell him we'll walk |
01:46 - 01:48 | My fuhrer, he's simply impossible |
01:48 - 01:52 | This stubborn paddy can't always be fucking right |
01:53 - 01:54 | I know this man |
01:56 - 01:57 | I worked for him once as young man |
01:57 - 02:00 | One Summer of torture with Nalto construction |
02:00 - 02:03 | The shit he had me doing you would not believe |
02:04 - 02:08 | Mopping out floors over and over. Change the water he'd say.. |
02:08 - 02:13 | You're just spreading the dirt around. Change the god damn water |
02:14 - 02:16 | My heart was fucking broken with this man |
02:17 - 02:21 | And as for that bloody sidekick of his, Ger the brickie, with his eternal chirpiness.. |
02:27 - 02:29 | By that Summers end |
02:30 - 02:34 | I was a broken man. Something had died inside in me |
02:34 - 02:36 | For 40 measly pounds a day |
02:41 - 02:42 | You're like lighting with that hammer |
02:43 - 02:47 | Let the saw do the work. You're holding the shovel wrong. |
02:48 - 02:53 | 6.45am sitting on a Hilti box in the back of his van listening to Buddy Holly |
02:54 - 02:56 | I took to the drink in a big way |
02:56 - 02:59 | They were some nasty hangover's I can tell you that |
03:00 - 03:02 | 7.30am mixing up a fresh gauge of 4 to 1 |
03:04 - 03:07 | Its ok, he's retired |
03:14 - 03:16 | I met his wife Rosaleen once |
03:19 - 03:23 | Lovely woman. How she has put up with him I'll never know |
03:25 - 03:26 | She should be a saint |
03:31 - 03:33 | My foreman was due to retire after this job |
03:40 - 03:46 | He rang me yesterday in tears. He said he tried to go for a dump and Paddy told him he was wiping his arse wrong |
03:46 - 03:49 | He said fold the paper, don't scrunch it up. |
03:53 - 03:56 | we have lost the battle |
