"Spaz" is the word they r going on about... Think of all the sh1t/grief/abuse/casual violence you put up with growing up and imagine these kids having to deal with it!!! The world is just too soft!! Or am I just a grumpy old man? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61782726

Spark with a poor work ethic and me with nothing mixed up apart from some readymix

Finished this 2 storey house today... Could have battered every other trade in the place cos the site agent was always away hiding

Wont go into the details of the case cos you can just checkout the link...but to anyone who has had a passing interest in it; was your first thought "my my he`s a fat fook to be claiming he`s been grafting for the past 6 years" ??? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44465639

I feel your pain mate, did Tues/Weds/Thurs nights as wells as daytime Sat and Sun this wk. All cos I`m away to Croatia for a wk early June. Money lust ruins a man lol

Did a job there and the customer says "I`ve got some plaster in the cupboard you could use?" I looked and said "actually its a wee bit out of date pal" 30 year old Browning, 50kg bag...

I`d always go with good old British Steel #judaspriest #metalgods

I try and leave a few free days here and there between bookings cos I hate telling folk I cant fit them in for 3/4/5/6 wks Then you can always just leave it free and have a well-deserved day off...but usually greed kicks in and you`re out chasing a few quid lol

Cheers mate lol Nice common btw - is it a 20? My biggest up here was a 16lb Koi from a big local council water

I have one of these, does an okay enough job if you keep the wing nut rust free with WD40

39 last month but still rockin` :rock:

Yes mate!! Tbh its been promoted to first coating duties with the 14" MT on the bench Nice wee trowel, good to work with and holds its own once its broken in

I've used some previously to try it out - did the job I suppose on boards, but was a tramp today and used some for a quick coving job and like @Rossi46 says, its a fast setter... Nice bags tho!!

Planet Rock for me or any of the Absolutes when reception is bad

Aye wee Ragni is the best - rounded corners so less lines

I had eczema when I was younger and the best cream was a hydrocortisone one

Why are people posting pictures of my work?? I own the copyright... ...lol

20mins to 1st coat, second coat, or in total?

Lol I`d love it if half the "joiners" only left me with 5mm to fill in mate

Black Hole Sun and You Know My Name, great tunes!!

Probably me mate, got an "Ox Stainless pipe trowel" and it was rusty after first use

I actually wondered that one day, as I was toiling like feck in a steaming top landing - hoping that it didn't go off too quick!!

Hahaha I woke the Mrs up lol`ing at that!! He`s a good lad really

Wouldn't be a proper demo video without @Vincey lol That lad gets about!!

Would be good to see some pics once its done (y)

I think just metal mate, needs magnets to work My old man did a few hospitals back in the day and there was a plaster that had lead or that in it to do the X-Ray rooms so a variation on that maybe?

Hahahaha I did that too!!

Each to their own I suppose, there`s being a good plasterer and then there`s being a good businessman Add into that trying to be a good Husband/partner and also a Father providing for any kids Loads of variables to take into consideration, are you going in low and wanting to always be in work...

@zolco its like a small bucket of plutonium - about 150mm all round but weights like 10kg lol

Thank you got mine today!!

Great wee trowel - kinda like a lighter, more flexible Nelaflex 2. Not as stiff cos it doesn't have the tang like the Nela but very nice. Wont do corners like @Maester says but you can use your angle trowel or midget trowel for that. The test will be how long will it last, but so long as I...

Pssssst!!! Over here!!! No, this way!!! Right, don't tell anyone..and I mean anyone but...WATCH SOMEONE`S COMING *whistles nonchalantly Right listen, now I NEVER said this... Just roll up an empty bag of multi and bang it in there, scrim over and skim Whats my name? Ah well...

Get the Refina BiFlex mate, wonderful wee trowel

I got the Nela midget trowel and it works with the Delehedy a treat Bought that new stainless Speedskim last year cos I wanted to be like @Vincey , tbh I`ve still been using the 18" NelaFlex 2 or Refina s*p*r*lex 2 for most things...

Can you give me that in writing Doctor? I like the sound of it!!

@john simpson if its a ganglion the pain can subside after a week or so so long as there`s no nerve issues...I have had one on my wrist for 6months or so and altho sore at the start, it soon eases off

You in Hamilton mate?

Kenny sang " and the best thing you can hope for is to die in your sleep" Well for some of us lot, the best thing we can hope for is to die in some cun7s bedroom refurbishment - age 70-odd after staying late to get an extra set on lol

Exactly mate, I just sat primed - ready for ISIS to attack, no word of a lie... Girlfriend would be like "are you okay?" And I`ve scoped out all the exits, sat gripping my biro with a death grip ready to annihilate any perceived hostile approachees

I`ve had three borderline panic attacks in cinemas and gigs, all times were after a nice Italian meal finished with a big latte Drink it too fast and then sit worrying about all the ways I could die lol

Yeah mate, I got bombed out by a couple of builders a few yrs back when my old man retired, cos they didn't want me there on my own - they wanted 2 plasterers - then when they phoned me the other week asking if I could fit them in, I laughed and told them I was busy but also didn't think they...

I felt like that when I gave up drugs...might extend it to caffeine and stuff to get that feeling all over again!!

Whooooohhoohooohoooooo that's a proper "trick" mate, used to think it was daft until I seen a few old timers do it and now I use it myself to dig me out if I need it :bailando:

I bought the 18" there... keeps me off the coke and heroin lol Worth a tryout at least #mug
