Our plumbing forum is offline at the moment - so let the lads come chat in this thread

[Bathfix Bob]

May I say I'm a plumber and on the plumbers forum and today took delivery of my new Sigma tile cutter (havent opened it yet), I said to my girlfriend only the true professionals have Sigma cutters and she said "well how come you've got one then!"

 

[Chalker]

This is the funniest thread on the forums.

Great banter

Hi lads,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how long the plumbersforum will be off ? I am sorry if this question is been already asked.

Kind regards

Ron

I don't know when Ron. It's not the same on here. They are not quite as aggressive as sparkies though. Up to now they've been fairly friendly. I don't suppose they feel as threatened as the sparks

Well I hope it works as it should. I'm installing something similar in a school a couple of weeks from now.

Are you a retired, well to do tiler who made their millions and moved to sunny climates for a more sophisticated lifestyle ?

......easy this plumbing lark..

That lad is a tiler, I can tell by the soles of his feet and the back of his head.
He's busy sabotaging plumbing work and then he's going to tile it all in and stand there lookin like butter wouldn't melt. Seen it all before

Joking apart I have a serious question to ask you pipe butchers....
When you install your shower pipes in the wall is it really that hard to make the chase deep enough so your crapy pipes aren't protruding 3 inches out the wall and spoiling our 'works of art'...

There's a funny smell in here, has someone not washed their hands after removing the toilets for the top trade? I welcome you all with open arms and hope your VW Transporters are all running well.

I just got fed up with crap weather and overcrowded roads! I'm working harder now for less money than I ever have but would I go back.... Only in a box!!

They stick out that far so we can cut them to the right length after you've decided how thick the tile cement will be and which daft tiles the custard wants !

Is that what you meant ?

I don't blame you. Life's too short to spend it in an anxious state

Yes. If you follow the white footprints you'll find the culprit. Make sure they are white though and not the ones with a hint of pink, they belong to the plasterer.

I wouldn't follow the black ones, you'll be walking around in circles for days!

We had no say in it!!!!

Neither did we!

You throw us in a room full of 'Wannabee Plumbers', or 'People who couldn't cut is as a Plumber' and expect us to be happy!!!.

Why would we want to be plumbers?

What you think we're happy you're soiling our clean bathrooms?

.

The sooner you get us back to where we belong the better!

Absobleedinlutely agree with you!

It's not that I feel intimidated or inferior here, it's just some of the posts.

Cracked grout.
Tiling on uneven surfaces
Cutting porcelain tiles
Drilling porcelain tiles

All the things your nightmares consist of!
No wonder you don't want to stick around!

Fella's, we're here to help.
Should you have any of these problems, come across to us.
We'll tell you how to sort these sorts of problem.

Did you know plagiarism is a criminal offence?

.

Don't be scared of us - most of us have our off days.
and there will be a few of us having an off day and we might be helpful.

Oz, it's always helpful when you guys days off!
You're not in our bleeding way!

I'm bored now
