October’s Skip Chick

Posted on: October 10th, 2010 by Louise

Hang on a minute…is it still summertime? October’s Skip Chick is reminding us of the brief yet fun summer we experienced. As the nights draw in earlier and we all dig our thermal long johns out, the lovely Becca from Wicks Waste Management knows well that if you’ve got it, flaunt it and leaving a few Skip Magazine blokes in the office a little hot under the collar. So without further ado, take it away, Becca…!
Tell us a bit about yourself…

I’ve been working at Wicks Waste Management for nearly six months now, and I really enjoy it. Mainly I take calls for skip orders and collections, and now and again I help in on the weighbridge. I have been reading through your mags, (ah, a woman with excellent taste)… so here goes I’m entering as skip chick of the month!
And I bet there are a lot of lads out there glad that you did! Tell us about your job – what’s the best bit?
The best part about the job is having a crack with all the customers on the phone, a bit of banter never does anyone harm :)

Easy Becca! What’s the funniest thing to happen in the yard?
The funniest thing that I’ve been told that has happened here is an incident which involved one of a garage workers, he accidently caught his privates in his zip… and unluckily didn’t have much choice but to sought help from the girls in our office, I wasn’t with the company when that happened and I’m glad I wasn’t I would have been a heap on the floor with laughter ! Poor bloke!
Ouch! We’ll just keep that unfortunate lad anonymous…what do you get up to in your spare time?
In my spare time I like to go shopping or going out and the occasional horse riding , on rainy days though you can’t beat staying in and watching films in bed with the over half!
Sorry lads – she’s taken! What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found in a skip?
Nothing to date “weird” has been found in a skip, but once we had a phone call from a lady who had lost her wedding ring in a pile of confidential paperwork, which coincidently at the time was being fed through the shredder. Despite every effort, unfortunately she never got it back …whoops.
Oh no! Poor woman! What do you like about the Skip Magazine?
I like reading all the little stories in the mag, and obviously checking out the skip hunk page ha ha!
Of course, the Skip Hunk is rather popular here as well…and have we got a tasty piece of skip hunk meat over the next page…!

SKIP CHICK – January 2009

Posted on: January 23rd, 2009 by Dave No Comments

We’re an open-minded bunch here at The Skip, so we weren’t phased by the stubble or the Adam’s apple when we received this latest Skip Chick entry. However, we were rather concerned by the bride’s choice of gloves and undergarments for the big day. Not to mention the location! This is Stephanie (aka Stevie) from Buchanan Skip Hire, in Livingston.

Q. Hi Stephanie, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do? A. Hi there. I’m a JCB driver, working in the waste transfer station.

Q. So what do you enjoy most about working at Buchanans then? A. The people are the best part of my job – my workmates are great.

Q. Is this your normal attire then? It can’t be that easy to drive a JCB dressed up like Richard Branson? A. Well, I just saw the dress, and my partner and I hope to get married this year to Gemma.

Q. Wow, that sounds like a liberal arrangement! Presumably at least one of those two is the pants-wearer then! So what do you get up to outside of work then, Stephanie? A. I help look after my baby girl, Kasey, when I’m not working.

Q. Balancing motherhood with work is always a truly commendable achievement. So what do you and your colleagues think of The Skip mag? A. We all love The Skip magazine here at Buchanans.

Q. Woohoo! Finally, what’s the best thing you’ve ever seen in a skip? A. Most definitely my wedding dress! Well Stephanie, good luck to you and your partner in your triangular wedding to Gemma. Thanks very much for being our first Skip ‘Chick’ of 2009. Does anyone else get the feeling this could be a strange year…?

Skip Chick – December 2008

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! Here’s an early present…
Check out this Skip Chick! Well and truly ensconced in a skip, and complete with retro Skip Chick T-shirt – now that’s the kind of skip-based dedication we love to see! Meet Emily…
Q. Hi Emily, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
A. Hi, I’m Emily Rice and I work for Bucks Recycling Ltd. I’m 29 – getting on a bit for a skip chick! I enjoy socialising with friends, going out to dinner and relaxing (when I get the chance).
Q. Age is no issue for us; if you score well on our highly sophisticated ‘Skip Chick-ometer’ (or Ant, as we call him), you claim your rightful place among these pages! So what do you enjoy most about working at Bucks Recycling, Emily?
A. I love talking to the customers, keeping busy and indulging in a good bit of banter with the lads (I give as good as I get!)
Q. And what do you like to do when you’re not working?
A. I love to relax with a nice bottle of wine or maybe a bit of snowboarding, if I’m in the mood.
Q. (Nigel, our health & safety expert, has asked me to make it clear at this point, that Emily’s two pathways to relaxation should never be pursued in combination!) So Emily, what do you like about The Skip mag?
A. I love the witty comments, and the overloaded skip pics are AWESOME!!!
Q. Great! What’s the most memorable thing you’ve ever seen in a skip?
A. I found some projector slides of broken bones from a retired doctor, which was pretty weird, but the best thing I’ve seen was my new coffee table!
Q. So, Christmas is upon us again, what do you hope Santa will bring you?
A. A new car please! And some diamonds (every girl loves diamonds!)
Q. (Dear Santa, we think you should maybe get Emily a crash helmet and some kneepads instead.) Thanks for being our Skip Chick, Emily. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers before you go?
A. Bucks Recycling is also run by a lady, never underestimate women in the skip world. These boobs will go far!

One for the lads…

Our Skip Chick this month has many talents, which include pole dancing and rustling up fine snacks. What else do you need to know? Oh yeah, she’s also single. Basically, she’s perfect!
Q. Hi Laura, please can you tell us a little about yourself and what you do for the company?
A. I serve breakfast at Snackeads butty bar, which is in Majors Waste Transfer Station, Birkenhead.
I am 23 and single. I love going out dancing; twice a week, I go to pole dancing lessons (just for fitness).
Q. Okay, we’ll believe you! So what’s the best thing about feeding all those hard workers at Majors?
A. I like to have a crack with the lads. I also double as an agony aunt; if any of the younger men have girlfriend trouble, they come to me for advice. But the best thing of all is the fact that everybody goes away with a smile on their face.
Q. I bet they do – and not just because of the food. There’s nothing like a pole dancing Skip Chick to cheer up even the most miserable of folk! What do you like most about The Skip then, Laura?
A. The skip mag stays in the cafe and the girls compare the Hunk of the Month with the customers. As you can imagine, it boosts sales if the comparison is good.
Q. Let’s hope ‘Muff’ goes down well, then! Have you any parting words of wisdom for our readers?
A. When its cold and wet and the job’s gone to rats,
When the kids need new shoes and your all out of cash,
Don’t worry about a thing, cos everything is gonna be alright!
Thanks! And thanks for being our Skip Chick, Laura.
We’re giving £250 cash to the hottest Skip Chick of 2008, so get snapping & email your entries to pr@theskip.net

This prime crop of Skip Chick booty belongs to Sam and Nikki from Blakeley’s Waste Management in Wigan.
Q. Hi girls, please can you tell our readers a little about yourselves and what you do for the company?
A. (Nikki) – I am 21 and have worked at Blakeley’s in the transport office since January 2007.
A. (Sam) – I’m 20 and have been with Blakeley’s since July 2006 as the receptionist. I have recently moved in to the transport office.
Q. Do you enjoy working for the company (it looks like you do)?
A. (Both) – Yes, we really enjoy working here because of the people we get to work with. The drivers are a good laugh and we get on with everybody in the office. We also like the fact that, because we are such good friends, we share hangovers whilst at work and June looks after us – making us lots of brews to make us better, he he!
Q. It sounds like you’ve got it all worked out there! So what do you like to do when you’re not working?
A. (Both) – We LOVE going on the day sesh at the weekend, getting drunk and having a good time. If you’re ever in the Leigh area, you’ll be sure to find us in the pub – feel free to join us! We also go to the gym after work (but we don’t like it, HA HA!)
Q. Hmm, gym or pub? Yes, we see what you mean – no contest there, really! Hopefully you like The Skip Magazine more than the gym?
A. (Both) – Yes, we are big Garbage Guru fans! We love Roger, ha ha!
Q. Ladies with a taste for waste! Finally, is there anything else you’d like to say to our readers before you get bad backs standing there?
A. (Both) – We think Alan Cheetham should be the next Hunk of the month! Oh and Blakeleys are the BEST!
