At Duce Stump Grinding, CEO and Self Proclaimed Stump Grinding God George Duce, has over the years worked with many 'other' blokes. The list is long and honourable, some were good, some amazing, then there was Pip Pardoe.
Pip 'Muscles bulging everywhere, champion wind surfer, all round bloody amazing bloke' Pardoe.
So George was delighted to catch up again with Pip last week when we worked on a job just outside of Canterbury where Pip had taken a break from being an amazing icon of beauty in Greece and had returned to our shores to cut some trees down.
Oh how the memories came flooding back. The stories, the laughs, the hugs, the male bonding on a level that frankly was a little un-healthy. The following days were filled with George re-counting more stories about how amazing bloody Pip Pardoe was when he worked for him.
George's current ward, Senior Alpha Team Leader Richard took this all very well;
'I know I wasn't the first, that's fine, I knew that. I knew there were others before me and I accept that, but he let him use my special spade. It's fine though, it's fine, I mean I know it didn't mean anything but it hurts' Richard said whilst holding back the tears.
Thankfully Pip has returned to Greece and will be resuming his life of being a generally top bloke, riding the waves, building huge buildings and being just too bloody nice and far too talented a bloke to be around.
There's an Insta link in the comments of Pip doing his thing, check him out, Richard would like to point out though that he gained his 50m swimming badge at school, just saying.
If any of you have been left feeling inadequate by being in the presence of Pip Pardoe, Richard will be setting up a hot line in the coming days.
Duce Counselling.
ps Pip, love you man. xx
