Thank you @Barbara !!

We all moan about it but tbh there`s nothing else I`d rather do. Always s**t in a recession but right now I`m making hay as the sun shines down lol

I`ve only ever used the fire cement stuff round them...always seen them blow off anything gypsum-based but dunno about renders?

Kier Hardie would have been proud

Lol mate that putty stuff looks like a robots square bell end retracting into its foreskin!!

Hope all is well mate, thought of you today when I was chasing a few jobs like an idiot. Life is too short indeed, get well soon :)

I love a competition, and a chance to win things, So I just write in rhyme cos I can`t really sing, Did it once before and it awarded me an Ox, Clemo sent a picture of him holding his...box (of tricks) ANYWAY I digress, what is this magnets role? Well it could show your pictures without a...

Got to agree with you there - admittedly I won a job through the guarantee and brochures etc Wouldn't want to be forking out cash for it tho

Love that one mate!!

Cheers mate, apprentice wage says £3.50/hour on the gov.uk website so might be worth it cos its less than a labourer lol

Hi guys, got the chance to take on a decent apprentice and just wondering what the CITB support/funding is like? Last I heard it was something like: 100% apprentice wages 1st year, 50% 2nd year, 0% 3rd/advanced craft. I know it might be slightly different up here in Glasgow to the beautiful...

Or them greeting about what`s on the radio

This was me a couple of wks ago mate, was either a kidney stone that I passed or just an infection Thought I`d twisted my back putting scaffold into van, had a lie down and a hot water bottle...progressed to vomiting and foned NHS24, got an appt at local Health Centre. Doc gave me suppositories...

I`m doing a rewire tomorrow and it`s getting magic mix then a wee lick of multi Maybe put them fibres in it to keep the cracking down...

I thought I used my fone a lot until I had my nephew out labouring... Ended up having to ration it to tea break and lunch break. Then he got a welding apprenticeship so I got back to being lonely and happy!

That's a decent price mate, usually £10 a metre the place I goto

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... ...except from polio

I had problems with mine a few months back, unscrewed it all and opened it up - was moisture/condensation inside causing shorting! So I dried it out, stuck it on a radiator and it worked fine after (touch wood)

Yet no mention of over artex, lime, room sizes etc. Race to the bottom indeed!!

Haha "Johnny who`s wife I`d pump" etc

I've got the Refina s*p*r*lex 2 with cork and I find it nice. Each to their own I suppose.

I usually get it everywhere BUT in the eye lol

@Vincey "Paul Dicksplat" - that's quite good, I`m gonna start saving the ar5eh0le5 in my fone with an alternative name haha

Fook me its soul destroying looking at some of them Gumtree ads...one guy in Glasgow with 25yrs experience is punting his services for £95/day

I`m doing okay for a January, but none of it`s my own... Mr HMRC wants his Tax and NI Mr Lawyer wants his divorce fee Mr Mechanic is MOTing the van end of the month Mrs wants a ring to make her a real "Mrs" (but when will I learn?? - see "Mr Lawyer" above!!) Miss Daughter is 19 tomorrow and...

Did u not say before as well that u were gonna be 5 days a wk, no nights or wkends? Hard to turn it down tho, I`m a tart for the cash also lol

Been there mate, back the following day to find a days work all over the floor

I hear BG are bringing this out next...

I`ve already started mate, had 3 so far this year. They'll need you before you need them!!

That's it mate, you`ll have a stinker of a job or an ar53hole of a punter and come home ready to greet (that's "cry" to the non-Jocks)... ...then you see that Speedskim or Nela or somebody has brought out a new brush or trowel or that, You order it and feel a wee bit motivated again, ready to...

Looks nice mate

Nice box came yesterday, just like Santa`s been again!! Will give it a wee break in on some S&C midweek...

That plate looks like one of my plates! #tinfoil #nowashingup

Listen friends, as I stand before you...we must remember the simple joy that Ox trowels bring. From warzones to drought-blighted nations of hunger, an Ox trowel can and will go a long way. Thank you

Tragic. Taking a hit financially is sometimes in our best interests when it comes to scaffold and the like. Proper scaffold and a labourer or 2 is better than a "half day out with the undertaker" as Fred Dibnah used to say

I mainly get the one at my ring finger

I`d have to give her a thorough check to see tbh lol

"GypsumSnorter rated this post: hungry, getting up to make something artery-clogging" Lol

@Lastlaff Tbh mate that's the best I`ve ever seen her looking Usually she has a "look" about her, if u know what I mean

Also keeps the scurvy at bay...Arrrrrr!!!

He`s such a tryhard unfunny caahnt!! Supposed to be a comedian yet got all precious when folk started taking the piss out of Kim Kardashian after she got "robbed"

This is nice...

You know your stuff mate! Venison is right lean but tasty, get the fat added lol

Ur missing a treat mate, toast n haggis is the bees knees!!

I used to just trowel mate but was shown a way of doing it with a few thinner layers, all rollered

Fook me mate, that's like when my lad is playing Minecraft! Really nice tho

I like white sand/cement float finish, but up here in Ice Station Scotland it`ll probably be 3-coat wet dash for the weather. I do like the scratched Enewall stuff also

About time MT came to the Flex party!!

If there`s one trowel that's never let me down, its my trusty 14" Marshalltown, It always makes me smile, But the time that I felt really dim, was first time using a Speedskim, It got easy after a while. Onsite one day talking to a fella, who said I should try out Nela, And when I did I loved...

I had my first full year solo after the old man retired, learned a lot without the safety net of the old Master lol Developed the business a bit, new tools and stationery etc, made some more contacts. Any downside/negative is a learning experience cos I`m a glass half-full kinda guy So its...
