My name is Stuart Goddard and I live in Bradford West Yorkshire In the United Kingdom.
All my life I have been involved with the demolition industry and this started from a very young age,
My father was a transport manager and construction plant manager and from a very young age "twelve years old" I would be under a truck or excavator.
Every weekend and school holiday was spent like this and to be fair I would not change a single day of it.
The men in this trade were notoriously tough with many being Irish immigrant workers and indeed one of the biggest companies my father worked for was an owned by an Irish family.
Well with every silver lining there is a cloud and mine was to be that by the time I was sixteen I thought I was going on thirty, This had some unexpected consequences like being thrown out of college for decking a teacher.
The next unexpected event was caused by me intervening in a bloke knocking seven bells out of his girl friend and the cops were called.
One of whom got seriously injured after going through a shop window.
Thirteen witnesses watched the cops try to remove my testicals which was only a partial success although the right one still has the texture of a walnut.
Well the cops walked away with no charges and the witness statements that had been made disappeared.
I then received three months in prison which is the only time I have ever been in the nick.
So a rocky start whichever way you look at it .
Fast forward to the present day and what am I doing now, Well a few years ago I teamed up with a brilliant engineer Mike Reynolds he was in the business of manufacturing attachments for excavators and seeing as excavators were my game we were a dream team.
Mike was a fairly wealthy man at one stage and lived in a small mansion and drove an IROC Z big yank motor.
Mike was not a brilliant business man but he was a brilliant engineer.
I had tried to convince mike to get with the latest technology but he had never even seen a computer.
I had been learning cad. computer aided design and could see what a powerful piece of kit it was.
Mike died penniless living in a canteen in a fabrication shop last year and I still miss the old scrote very much.
I will leave it there for today as this is my first day on here but do watch for more from me I think it will be worth your wait.
