I've heard of a big local bricklaying company paying eastern Europeans £50 a day and training them on site. I'll get my mate to send me the quality of work they're churning out on £600k houses...

Bet she's a great cook too.

That customer is not right. That customer is a c**t.

I didn't go home dead this day. Bonus.

Same, I just don't know where any of them are....

Feck spending £11 on a Stanley knife. I usually lose them before I've blunted the blade.

Here's one I did a couple of weeks back. Speedskim and mt. Halogen down lights shining down it.

Only been an hour @Marshy!

Another vote for cheap cooking oil here.

Agreed. I don't think there's anyone on here I wouldn't enjoy a pint with..... as long as we didn't talk politics!

Building regs requires mechanical fixing for insulated boards in my area.

Ancon insofast insulated board fixings. Get mine off the Internet.

Stick another prawn in the barby!

Dunno about the plastic ones. I use these.

Should have fixing. If there's a fire the insulation melts and the boards fail.

Not sure that BG give a feck about opinions on this forum. Not sure how many regulars there are on here, but it's a tiny fraction of all the plasterers in the uk and BG have a virtual monopoly so they know we can't vote with our cash.

I've always said when I finally lose my sh!t and go on a gun rampage, I'm gonna do it in a wedding dress. Just for the extra crazy points.

I'll bring a paddling pool and an industrial sized tub of swarfega.

Hardwall is for porous, bonding for nonporous.

The only difference between a tradesman and a diyer is that the tradesman knows all the bodges.

Mine has 2 switches. One to turn it on and one to lock it on. Mines 5 or 6 yrs old though.

Haha! This is Easton fella. It's all fair trade veggy wholemeal middle class quinoa bollix! (Been told you can get a decent fry up in the community center though)

I'll keep hold of your number fella. Did some work in Brizzle last year for a mate and I seem to be getting more work off the back of it. I'm in Easton as we speak. It's a fair old shlep for me to drive tbh so happy to pass it on.

You say this in jest, but in Basingstoke they're trying to shut the Irish center down. (Prime central land worth loads to the council) They want to build center for "everyone" to use so a bar will be a no-no. Mate of mine representing the center says drinking is part of Irish culture as as an...

Nice work fella.

I was only trying to get a rise out of someone!

Making a mess is short term. Do the job right and it'll last forever.

Can you use unifinish over it?

Makes me laugh at the merchants in the mornings. Everyone in the same trousers, puffer vests and beige timberland boots. Might as well be a uniform. Look like a bunch of cnuts.

It's not the knauf/BG emails the russians leaked from the hacked flynnyman/Vincey accounts the fbi were monitoring?

Get a super-duper filter like @Marshy says. Empty bottles are another thing fecking up the environment.

I think it's the secret island only pirates know about from pirates of the Caribbean. It's in New Zealand really.

20m2 ceiling over skim. Had my 11yr old daughter fetching, carrying and cleaning. She'd put most of the lads I've had labouring to shame. Proud dad.

Sack truck, euro boxes and bungies?

I did an artex course about 12 yrs ago. Cost me £700. Still hasn't paid for itself!

Genius!

Liked Lol!

Aha! The penny drops!

Yep. I watched a YouTube video and read a couple of threads on here. Piece of p!ss to use.

Durdle door?

If you were trading in the 70s you'd be telling us how great avocado bathroom suites are... Problem with being bang up to date is it's soon dated.

One of my all time favourites Gibbo.

It always turns up Monday morning when you're not looking for it.

Have to say I love my speedskim. BUT. It doesn't make you quicker. I reckon it makes your job easier on your bones though. Also, on a reskim, 2 walls is enough. Like flynnyman says, the only way to get quicker is to practice.

I'm not on Facebook. Can someone tell me what's happening?
