Chainman

The shabby-arsed useless tit of an assistant who attempts to follow orders given to him by a Land Surveyor.

Chainmen tend to be:

1) students of the Surveyhood whilst gaining vital survey experience in the off peak periods

or

2) Career chainmen - nasty rabid, fly blown and flea bitten pieces of work who, for some reason, are all smokers and have filthy beards.

Chainmen (or chainpersons) are responsible for:

- Keeping the survey vessels (see rust bucket) in reasonable cleanly order and with appropriate amount of stocks

- holding the prism pole for the surveyor (as the surveyor can only be in one place at one time unfortunately...)

- Following orders from the surveyor

- Filling the air with cigarette smoke and the nasal twang of bogan accents

- Generally making a balls up of every possible situation

Draftsperson: "So what did you do?"
Surveyor: "I took him out the back and shot him."
Draftsperson: "Oh, good!"

Chain Surfing

Chain Surfing happens when someone is surfing the internet, sees an "interesting" link then opens it in a new tab or new window (who the heck still opens in a new window?). The person briefly checks the new tab/window then stumbles upon a new link and then opens it in a new tab/window. The person will keep repeating the process until he realizes that he is now looking up nazism and he has wasted more than 30 minutes reading random stuff not really related to the original website. This usually happens on wikipedia, youtube, cracked, etc.

B- "Okay."

(after 20 minutes)

B- I ended up watching Kermit the frog. Didn't get shit done.

A- You were chain surfing again!?! Paper's due tomorrow!

B- Blame wikipedia.
