nah not keyboard mate its my brand new Fing computer , when i type it keeps laging and interrupting my typing!
 
Most comercial site got turnstiles now oasis and you have to have a card to beep you through on a job last year we had finger print recognition and face recognition on another job its all a bit hi-tec now, days are gone where you could just stroll on site and get a start and no one would bother you, but when i get a job thats float and set up your way i will give you a shout on it ;)

Are you being serious about that TonyM? if you are I can tell you that it would be well worth it from a "knowledge gained" point of veiw. They have had people come from all over the country and even from as far as Boston USA recently. The guys that teach it actually do it for a living as well as teaching it.

Yes. I've installed plenty of cornice over the years and can do repairs to a point, but want to learn how to make it etc. I spoke to them at APC a while back and they explained the course and although it's a lot of money, I reckon it'll be money well spent. The price has just gone up £500 as well, as when I called it was just under £1500. It'll be a dear month though, what with 4 weeks off work, 16 nights digs, and the course fees. Not going to get much change out of £5k.

Breakfast - Caviar on toast
Crib (thats the Cornish equivalent of snack) - Truffles and fois gras sandwiches
Lunch - Smoked wild salmon salad
Dinner - Fillet steak
 
When you take into account the loss of wages for a month and the digs,thats when it starts getting expensive.
cant you do it over 2 x2week periods Tony to try and break the cost a little? 2 weeks this tax year 2 next also as its deductable?
 
this is another reason i want a joddy i keep promising my lab ill teach him and come the big day he gets a mix on one on the spot one in the butt lays a bit on then i get carried away rule his wall off then hes mixing for the rest of the day ;D
great me ill sort the joddy he gets to learn then hell start asking for more money ..... ;D

The last 2 yrs i've had hefty tax rebates, so i'll wait and see what happens after April. I'd want to do the course in one go really.

Thanks mate. I think there's something a bit therapeutic about doing a job like that, plus it's something a bit special too.

I reckon that doing it in one hit is the way to go Tony, by the end of 4 weeks you'll really have a grasp of it. While I was helping out with the solid plastering course I kept popping into the fibrous section as it's so so interesting, well to me anyway.
 
Its not as interesting as spunkys new website lol.
But i know where your coming from,id love to be able to do that kind of stuff just for me own piece of mind not to make money from it as such
