Well i would like to nominate Garythetiler, he gives great advice, really knows his Trade inside-out and has a great knowledge of tile-cutting machines, and i thought if i was to have a project who would i like doing-it and i came up with Gary . simples......

 

[jonnyc]

I nominate gary the tiler.i have learnt a number of things from him about porcelain that I didn't know.phil Hobson for continuing to help people with his knowledge even though he must be sick of answering the same old repeated questions

 

[Pebbs]

Can I put up Bri and Neale then, both great lads, I like what they do and the way the tell it...straight...no messing around...pull your finger out and get on with it.

I will never get sick of trying to help people John, I will strive to improve this noble trade as long as I can draw breath.

We must not let the skills die. My old masters would turn in their graves if they thought the skills passed on by them would be lost in the future.

Short courses are the beginning of the end of our trade, we need to keep the old skills alive.

I have to second what Phil wrote, I had to bin someone of before Christmas after 3 days, he said he had been tiling for 15 years, and the last job he had done was over at the Olympic Park...probably doing the security judging by the state of his tiling!
Everything had to be ripped out and started again.
The air was blue...dark blue!

[Mr Tiler]

Why pebbs? Just all wrong? Cheers

 

[Bubblecraft]

I've had a good think & I'd like to vote for Bri. As mentioned, says it the way it is, very knowledgable, his posts are great to read, turns out some lovely work & is a genuine guy.

 

[nybor62]

i nominate pebbs, calls a spade a spade , she knows her stuff,and can talk for england, top lass

 

[Spud]

I think we should run this until new years eve and new years day we post a poll and have a vote on it and the best man/woman can win.
Prize is one week stay at my place in Egypt any time in 2014, you have to provide your own flights and transfers best of luck .

 

[Ian]

That's a fantastic prize you've offered Gary, top man. Seeing as you've been kind enough to offer such a prize I've decided to get myself down off the fence and nominate Stef, he's posted consistently throughout the year, given excellent advice and there has been a vast amount of advice and knowledge shared, not to mention a fair few pictures.

that is a brilliant offer gary what a nice man to offer such a thing to help support the site. unfortunately I would like to pull my nominations out... thanks guys but I feel I have taken more from the site than I have given although ive been a regular I doubt many of my posts have been of any help. but thank you its a lovely feeling to know people actually support me now!... cheers... also would like to change my vote once the poll is up to stef although ali has helped me out over the last 12 months... stef has done the most and even though I havnt really spoken to him much he has showed a massive amount of support to get me up and running. cheers

i nominate jonny c. his projekts and posts are always very enormous and impressive. nice to read like a good mag. its cool for me to plunge into the uk tilers szene. no matter if the project is massive or little. pictures are always important because just the text is not easy to understand for me.

I have had the same problem with your German tilers members site you invited me to join.i cannot explain myself in German so photos are easier .same for you.keep posting photos of the process of your projects.most are self explanatory and an eye opener for us all here on this site RainerRainer

 

[Mr Tiler]

I have to agree to sum this thread up to one person is just too hard what rainsco has just said is true about jonnyc when he posts a project he is doing it is in much detail too the extent that even I... can finnish reading with no questions to ask lol

 

[Spud]

Dear tea bag you have been nominated by more than one member so will be included in the poll it's not up to you to decide whether you deserve it or not it's a straight vote on who's has been nominated democracy at its best lol

 

[Mr Tiler]

Pmsl fair enough Gary. I wonder who is off to Egypt next year and no judging of any tiling while over there! Lol

 

[CJ]

Incredibly generous offer Gary.......well done that man.

That's awesome. Really awesome. Thanks

 

[Old Mod]

During my very short time on here it's quite clear there are several VERY deserving people for the title! But as I don't really know anyone yet, apart from chatting with Phill Hobson one Saturday afternoon, I thought I'd use a slightly different criteria.
So as a relative stranger to u all, as u are to me, (very strange!:lol maybe this is how an outsider might see the site!
Obviously Garythetiler for the prize offered, don't matter what people might be saying Gary, I don't see it as buying votes!!! Haha (Oh and for his knowledge and stunning work!)
Then theres Johnnyc & Rainsco, well who can split them two! Absolute stone craftsman! Think Johnnyc edges it there, well he's only 15 mins from me, so it's gotta be Johnny!
But what about Phill Hobson & Timeless John? Walking Geo Jedi! Yoda or Qui-gon-jinn? I wouldn't like to say who's who!
Obviously there's Commisioner Gordon, the Caped Crusaders & Albert! (Dan, Bri, Sir Ramic & Whitebeam! Hehe) and NOT necessarily in that order! The guys that keep things ticking along.
Then we have our Scottish freedom fighters, sorry, Tilers! Bubblecraft, Charlie1 & of course the Dude that is the mighty Stef! *gets on knees* "we're not worthy,we're not worthy!" :sofahide:
,,,,,and of course no thread would be credible without Ash (T Bag) making an appearance! Haha
So you see there are many of you that have made your mark in the very short time I have been a member here, (and hopefully still a member after this post! Haha) and you are all worthy in my book for the title of FORUM MEMBER OF THE YEAR for one reason or another.
I know there's a few I've noticed that I haven't mentioned and for that, especially if you've actively 'liked' my posts :lol:, AndyAllen, CJ, AliCage to mention but a few, I apologise.
But when all said and done the person I nominate Is Deano!! And my humble reason? He was the first person who actually read my first post and took it for what it was! Just a laugh and of course a true depiction of what this glorious trade can do to you! Haha
Disclaimer: No tiler was hurt during the making of this statement, well certainly not intentionally, and if egos were bashed or bruised? You should get out more! Haha
the very best of luck to you all!
Cant wait for next year!

 

[White Room]

Now you can come up for air :lol:

 

[Mr Tiler]

nice post there mate a little strange how you went through all the names and then picked someone you didn't even mention lol! I think deano may have this one and all the best too him he has certainly helped me out with some brilliant information

 

[Gazzer]

Obviously there's Commisioner Gordon, the Caped Crusaders & Albert! (Dan, Bri, Sir Ramic & Whitebeam! Hehe)

Ermmmm and not forgetting Liz, (Girlracerred) who gives fantastic info regarding employment issues etc etc

 

[radim]
