[Diamond Pool Finishers]

When you have a new young-en to come and work for you do you have a laugh on them ? a guy i know told me this one .

On Friday take him to a place with lots of stones get out of van walk over to a stone and make it look like your getting some notes from under it as your stash point to pay him, when drop him off go back and hide, 2 boys so far have gone back turning every stone over in the car park !****ed myself watching em scratch their heads looking for it. :lol: what would /have you done?

Not tiling related but I did a lot of hitch hiking for many years and there was a strict code of conduct when positioning yourself in line.
this probably sounds strange but hitch hiking was an art .
i won't go in to hitch hiking challenges I have undertaken but I once found myself stuck in a place called coolgardie . I was hitching from Perth to Sydney.coolgardie was the last town before you hit a split in road and went to kalgoorlie or to Norseman which was junction to the nullabor plain.

I spent two days and nights under a tree with another traveller and drinking with the local abos and this young Aussie larrikin had the affront to steal my place at front of the line when we were still passed out .
so when we woke up and found him at front of the line i made a plan.

About 6 hours later a bus parked over the road at a gas station and the passengers went in to eat and luggage lockers on side of bus left open . I suggested to the hitcher that he get in the luggage locker and I shut the door on him. Job done . What I didn't realise until my aborigine drinking mate told me was that they would not open the luggage doors again till Adelaide which was 1500 miles away .
took me 13 days to do that run and I was very worried about what I had done .
i did that trip,three times and record was 3.5 days with me hiding in bush whilst my girlfriend was out on road

TBF out of all the trades, plasterers have the best initiations prank. I'd do it more often but it makes a frigging mess!

The old "Bet you can't hold a bag of finish/adhesive over your head for 30 seconds" trick is timeless.

when on the YTS many years ago in an engineering shop, the foreman sent me to the stores for "a bucket of half inch holes".
Being the gobby know it all 16 yr old ,i thought about it and came up with a plan. Wrote out the stores chit for a new galvanised bucket and a half inch drill,dutifully drilled lots of holes in the bucket and presented it to the foreman, he went very red before exploding into a lot of words i cant put on here !!
