Builder Attacked By Magpies

We love a good story from the site. Whether it's the apprentice getting the run-around, a major cock up or just a good joke, we love it. So, imagine how chuffed we were when we found this nugget.

Tim Vessey, is a builder from Mansfield in good ol' Nottingham. He was just busy going about his day, as you do, and then all of a sudden things changed

As Tim was working, out of the blue a magpie dropped a frozen chicken from above him. The frozen bird fell and whacked him on the head

Now this might all sound like fun and games until you realise the bird was 2lb. on his head from the sky.

45, almost fell off his scaffolding when the 2lb bird whacked him. That's nearly a kilo frozen meat falling on your head. Ouch!

The magpie swooped down and grabbed the chicken, which was defrosting, from an open kitchen window.

You've gotta respect the effort of that!

Tim and his mates were working on the roof of a house nearby, watched in as it soared away.

Make sure you wear your hard hats guys!

Meet Social Media's Most Famous Builder

In this day and age of skinny oat milk frappamochachino's, 'bespoke' furniture and sourdough everywhere, it's easy to think you have to be posh to be on instagram.

However, that's not true apparently

This has all been disproved by the account @justaconstructionguy. If you haven't heard of this bloke, he's a guy who rose to insta-fame (a way 'the youth' are describing lots of followers) gaining hundreds of thousands of followers sharing pictures of his outfit, photos of drinking a espressos and taking the mic at the internet.

He soon became a viral sensation.

It all began when he asked his daughter what an influencer was. After she explained, his response set the precedent for what would become an hilarious venture.

The tweet, which shows an explanation of why he began this quest. It, was shared by a number of popular meme accounts on Instagram and catapulted into viral territory. He gained nearly 400,000 Instagram followers in a month.

He hilariously mimics famous influencer poses, such as the classic ‘walking away from someone while holding my hand out’ picture. what a legend.

We love this, and we don't want to spoil your fun. But, we've gotta be honest with you.

So, it's a shame to admit that the whole thing was actually just a natty marketing.

As sad as it is a local coffee company dreamed up the idea during a recent brainstorming session.

Although that does make it much less fun, it's still a great idea, so we salute you.
