My gf's boss also just posted a video on facebook of a telephone pole wobbling like mad on a street in edinburgh... then a 14ft trampoline comes rolling past and down the road haha  :laugh:

What a boring man. What is he the boss of, watching paint dry?

Its a long story, I could rant about him for weeks on end as to be honest - he's a dick. funny vid non the less
