Any thoughts on the final day? What about Middlesbrough at 25 -1 at Liverpool? 17-2 for the draw. Can see them getting something there. And Everton at 15-2 at Arsenal. Lukaku after the golden boot. Will be going the pub to watch I think. Just hope that Man Utd lose to Ajax. He's been getting the...

Anyone been ripped off lately. Missus had a flat and went to quikfit. Payed 280 for two new tyres. It was just a puncture in one of the front. Told her both front needed doing and that within a month both back would be illegal too. She didn't get them done. How do these people sleep at night?

Unbelievable. May is going to create a new type of internet that would be "controlled and regulated by government". Is it just me, or is this woman edging to some sort of dictatorship? China springs to mind with their "regulation" of the internet. Likewise Turkey under fellow dictator Erdogan...

You wont see or hear about this scandal in the Tory controlled mainstream media. You'll hear that Labour is beholding to the unions but nothing about this. Take five minutes to read it and then think back on her pledges to not govern in the interests of the privileged few. The Tories and May...

Are any of you vegetarians or vegans? Thinking of becoming one again. I was vegetarian for about five years in my early twenties but lapsed. Are there more options now?

Looks serious. Shows how vulnerable we are in every walk of life. You'd be annoyed if you were waiting on an operation or treatment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-39899646 I think there could be some cataclysmic event sooner rather than later. Read the other day that Kin Jung or whatever...

Why are you self employed rather than employed? Money? Can't work with others? Can't stand fools? Do what you want when you want? I couldn't work for someone else. Was working it out today and been self-employed the last twenty three years. Couldn't believe it. Was sitting in subway at the time...

A good tip here for going over Artex. Bonding mixed with board or multi.

The mainstream press seem to have put this to bed already with a landslide for the Tories. Would be interesting to see if it's mirrored on here. I'm thinking it's a lot closer than people think. Just like in the election voting is confidential.

Do you think plasterers are fitter than other trades? Overall. In construction, not like a lumberjack etc. I know a few sparks who's knees are knackered. Do you take supplements for your health and exercise or go to the gym? Here's a few of the supplements I take. I'd say apple cider vinegar...

Just had a text off some punter I went to price a job for early last week. Sorry he was late getting back to me but he'd been busy (getting other quotes). He wants me to do the work but for £950 - the quote he's had off someone else. That was £470 less than I priced. "We've had another quote for...

Think a few on here have posted about getting their tools stolen or their vans and tools. It's on the increase. Never had mine taken. Had a van taken a few years back. Woke up one Sunday morning, went to take out the dog and noticed the van was gone. Found it about a hundred metres away with the...

Anyone got one of these? What's the double blade malarkey? Can't make it out from the photos. Looks narrow. Edges taper inward.

Anyone got a diesel and thinking of going back to petrol or electric? That clown mayor of london is threatening to ban them. Liverpool are thinking of introducing a charge for diesel drivers. Wouldn't surprise me if May and Hammond introduce some tax hike on them when they get their majority...

Are any of you worried about WW3 breaking out this weekend over North Korea? Kim Jong Un has promised thermonuclear war if Trump attacks. And he's said he would if North Korea tests a missile this weekend. It could be a Armageddon . This time next week there might not be any plastering work, the...

Anyone working today? I've decided to have the day off. One of the benefits of being self employed. It can wait. Remember it's Good Friday today. Jesus sacrificed his flesh so you should abstain from eating meat but eat some fish instead.

Can anyone recommend any box sets? Just finished Hannibal. Seen West World, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Narcos, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Vikings, The Americans, House of Cards, Forbrydelsen, etc. Like dark stuff.

Hi @Bauwer. Do you sell directly from your Liverpool site? I have looked at your site but there seems to be nowhere to add products to a basket and checkout. What is the Bauwer Light cost including the VAT? I have read the cost is £8 in one thread but have seen £12 at plasterersonestopshop.

Do you have any unique features on your business cards or is it just name and phone numbers? I am thinking maybe a 3d card would attract interest or one that turns into a pop up. Just so customers can remember them. I have seen this one but it is US based. If you could do something like this...

I need to fix aquapanel in a walk in shower enclosure area. Is there any other way to fix them to the wall apart from batten or metal stud? Space is at a premium. Thanks

Hi. I have just joined. I joined a few years ago but lost interest. My name is Jan
