and,the “silly hand wave” directed at other boat traffic is a secret tang code for…are you getting it handy,which also saves you hanging out of the window screaming it as you pass head to head.
if you know exactly who hitler is talking about,and can be fluent in what the cartoons are talking about,then your half way there.
it would be a distinct advantage for any job application to have done a season or to “on the grass” and know when to refer to stroke city as derry or londonderry.
essential kit is deemed to be,super hamptons,ben sherman shirt,levi boot cut jeans,gold belcher,scania jacket( even if your driving a daf)ad enough lynx to instantly blind a vosa man or traffic cop within seconds upon opening your door.
just get a start with any of the mushroom brigade and you will be fluent with all tachograph laws and more importantly how to fiddle them with magnets and wires,and it goes without saying you will be accustomed to driving well in excess of 90 klicks if you want to tag along with the pack coming off the boats.within a month,if your not fluent,then you wont need to worry as you will have been banned and driving will be the least of your worries as you will be spending all your giros or shelf stacking wages on fines…though most will pay all fines except from speeding which you wil be doing constantly.this ensures them of your continnued employment as you will be working for them to pay your fines for you.
welcome to the wonderfull world of tangs who dont give a toss. :smiley:

I seem to be doing it all the wrong way around, a backward tang ?, I’ve progressed to seasons on the grass at nearly 60 - did six weeks on the silage this summer (agric tractor) and doin it again next year as it was a right laugh (apart from the old car tyres to weight down the sheetin, they’re a [zb]in nightmare, flip them over twice to get rid of all the water and as soon as you pick them up half a gallon of green stinky slimy water materialises out of nowhere and sloshes into your boots)

experienced ex grass tangs always bore holes in their boots to let all the water that leaks in,leak back out…just so you can prepare for next year… :slight_smile:

Non stop sausage suppers/coke for grub too@ grass but some Farmers still bring you into the house for the beef/chicken dinners!!![emoji6]

Gonna head to States and possibly onto NZ for season or two@ “the grass” when I retire!!![emoji41]

you wont be able to get a sausage supper too easily over there,but apparently the kebabs are quite popular?

Well first off you’ll need these

You’ll also need the obligatory horsepower in reg number plate and horsepower stickers on the cab.

Just make sure it’s a V8 or the other Tangs will disown you. Plus you’ll get terrible MPG trying to haul 60 tonne with an R450.

its not uncommon to be hauling 59-58 tons of peat from the midlands back up north with the curtainsiders looking like pregnant hippos,but 60 ton is usually just that tad unreachable unless the heros leave the roof open.

Been there with a 450 with no scales on it. :blush:

“How many went in the last one? Fling that in then.”

Hills were only fun on the way down. :laughing:

the dudes we were running for were more or less house trained gypjops. if you came in under 55 ton they went mental threatening to dock your money. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

WTF is a tang

follow the links on the previous post my man and be educated.
heres how the jealous plobbers describe them.
youtube.com/watch?v=QPiCRpbuKIs

and tangs generally make excellent wages if you like the work…despite the jealous ones commenting otherwise.
good wages,good plant,not as boring as rdc plobbing at 52.each to their own,with the added bonus of enlarging your group of acquaintences as within a few months you will be on 1st name terms with any vosa working on the ferry roads as well as the traffic plod on the a75…its all gravy :smiley:

looked it up,and apparently it’s a cxxt,lol

Tang is the abreviated form of ■■■■■■■■.
