Why is it when your plastering now and again people will tell you, I bet your good at icing cakes. No i am not good at icing cakes i have tried it and its bloody difficult :mad: If ive heard this once ive heard it a thousand times, another one is, you make it look so easy i always tell em "it is easy" :)
 
or the one i normally get is: YOU HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST TO DO THIS:bloody right there...you wanna see me in the evenings after a few pints hic hic :eek: :eek: :-? :-/ :p
 
Wayback I worked as a doorman for seven years and if I had a penny for everytime someone said 'I've done a bit of door work meself you know'....well, I'd have a couple of quid by now. Now I'm saying it on a plastering site  :-[

Still, the point is I get customers saying 'I've had a go at plastering' all the time. Yeah and...? I've driven a car but that doesn't make me Lewis Hamilton does it?  ;D
 
Ive heard this alot myself latley it seems everyone can plaster these days :eek: I know what the classic is i expect alot of you have heard this yourself "whats this another half day" even know you started at 6 and finish at 2.30.
 
somenes mentioned the old " i bet your good at icing a cake " thing to me earlier actually, think i may have to try it and see! what size trowel shall i use?! ;)

whats this 'bet your good at icing cakes?' bollox...i get it too, only ever off women though (funnily enough) but what possible comparison can you make between plastering and icing cakes???
i used to get the same thing on the windows when gunning up...now theres almost a comparison...
 
You know why its women that say it, because they are obsessed by cakes. Where blokes are thinking about beer women are thinking about cakes ;D
 
What about the old faviote " i tried that once and i got more on the floor than i did the the walls "
 
by god your old church i reckon at least a hundred and thirty... :cool:
 
there has always been someone, no matter what trade/skill ive been involved in, that when the s**t hits the fan, or everyone is stood round scratchin their heads (experienced blokes mind) that someone has piped up with an answer that seems so obvious, so well practiced and so beyond our reach that you think to yourself 'he was right that bloke'...youre that bloke church...you old f'cker
 
i would bet on that bod...he does have a way of hitting the nail on the head...ill bet he only lays on 5 metres a shot though...
wouldnt mind his head on a huge great job though, long as i keep movin...ill bet he's like your old man...
