Thanks guys, but knowing my luck I would be assassinated in days.:yikes:

well I've just looked on the other two tiling forums that I'm a member of, and happy to be a member of, we're the usual suspects yet there's a helluva lot less recent activity than here but I don't see any "it's quiet here" threads so I for one am a bit baffled as to why every man and his dog seems to be having a pop at this forum**yawn**

If the content on the three forums was merged into one then there'd be plenty of activity. It's a shame the world of online tiling forums is so fragmented.

To be honest, it is busier out there, and after work, and creating quotes, invoices etc.. it isn't a priority, its showing that the market place is thriving.. with respect, when we're knackered its not a priority to post or reply to posts, I love this forum, but haven't got the time to post, which is a shame... but as the large projects are on their way, and no surveying / quotes to do, I have time.. its not a reflection on the forum, just the time of year and the tiling industry in general, who feels the same ?

There is a lot more work about, that's for sure. I'm just about keeping my head above water, my biggest problem is I can't do long days as I have to pick the youth up 4 days a week, I will work Saturdays, but try not to. No point having a family and never seeing them.

I had a complaint today, that one of my tilers worked until 10pm last night ! !! I rung him and asked why he worked so late in someones house, he said ' I needed to get it finished !! ok, I said !

Been on a site this week that gets locked up at 4pm every afternoon. Don't know what to do with myself as I usually work until after 6 then out measuring etc after. Definitely a lot of work about at the moment, all seems to be nice big jobs too.

Agree, also, its the time of year for finishing trades, aswell as coming out of recession, this time it certainly sorted out the men from the boys ;-)

Personally i quiet enjoy reading the arguments between some of the members, it's entertaining. We can all pretend that we are above all that nonsense and are far to grown up for all that.... but at the end of the day i love being entertained and there aint many more things i find better than reading a good argument between two hot headed tilers having a difference off opinion...... bring on the arguments i say, it's always good. We all (no matter what anyone tells me) love drama, Mike Tyson in his press conferences was absolutely fantastic viewing, even better than watching him in the ring sometimes!!!

So to improve this forum lets try and get Iron Mike on here or better still maybe some could just start saying what they actually feel or think rather than posting to 'impress' or to receive likes or thanks etc. Honesty of your opinions is what will really make this forum tick.

I am also under no illusion that should i meet up with any single member on here we would probably have a good chat and get on great no matter how different we seem on here..... Were all just normal blokes trying to earn money.
