Clear the air

[John Benton]

i think if you looked at my posting (when i'am around ) at anytime i do start a lot of threads, this is because i love the forum !, i know a lot of my threads can be tosh ! but its like having a conversation with strangers in the street, if someone don't say anything !! then it would never start !, so thats the reason i start threads, they are just subjects, if you want to chime-in then please do , if not the don't and the thread will just sink, we are all different personality s some guys (hard core tilers or beginners ) then others just light banter about whatever,personally i'am drawn to general conversation, to escape work a bit, i did't mean to course a big huff over the tags, i know we all like to have a say on how the forum is run , so i though it would get us all going and it did lol (MAD), so sorry for this, but at the end of the day its DANS forum !!! and he will do with it what he wants, i think he's a cool guy really by standing back and letting us all get-on with it..... same as the mods we have now, when Dave h was admin it was a very click y place , and he was more of a dictator , i think that is where some of the older guys miss-him , as they feel they have lost there status they had with him,not me though as i have always been on the fringe, and will always be, but i will defend & speak-up for myself , i'am that gobby git you get in the street who just chim's-in when passing lol..... thats me. Things in life change, the people who love the moment and do well in it hate the change as they lose there moment in the sun, change is the challenge of life so embrace it and shine in it, but move-on, or you will be left behind my friends....that go's for everything in life......:sofahide:

New thread topic:- Where did Dave get his sofa from, and what discount was applied before it went back to its original selling price?

My guess is Dave's sofa was from dfs, it was purchased on the one day of the year they don't have a sale 🙂 and Dave don't apologise, your threads have got people chatting and scrapping, which is what a forum is all about. There's probably been more posts in the last 24 hours than in the last 7 days 🙂

I suppose its the time of year and this weather must be bringing a lot of work in even for tilers

If this rain doesn't clear "the air" then we are all doomed, doomed i say.

It's a good question, the problem is in my opinion, that there does really need to be a leader of sorts, someone who has a lot of time to devote to the forum and who will start a lot of topics to get people chatting. Dave used to do that and then Neale after him. We don't really have anyone like that anymore and I don't think it's because of any of the changes, I think people just have less time generally, I haven't seen a post for a while that says work is quiet, so that tells you there are a lot of busy people. The only real solution to it is half a dozen people start a topic everyday, it doesn't especially need to be about tiling, to keep the place talking. DPF Dave has done a fair few recently and it's worked, even if it has caused some almighty fights, lol! All the other bits can be worked on as and when.

100 % agree with a point you make brian. And I've thought about this for a good whole. I nominate phill Hobson as he really is respected as the godfather in tiling. I know people who know him in real world and cannot speak highly enough of him. Phill for president !!

Fidel Hobson - has a certain ring to it!

President Phil eh? Got to be better than David Cameron 🙂 get him into number 10, the British empire will be restored in no time.
