Uncolaberated slate!

[wivers]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Thick and thin, ugly, stained and bloody annoying.... and thats just TJ.

If i never use this slate from Topps again it will be too soon.

Not 30 x 30 as it claims on the pack, but more of a 32 x 27.

Its about as square as a Dorrito, and as flat as DH's belly.

If the customer asks me to try and keep the grout lines uniform one more time i'm gonna hit her over the head with the thickest piece of slate there, wich is about 30 mm thick and then cut her fingers off with my bucket trowel!!!!!!!!

Oh!! the joys of being a tiler..Stop the whinging and get on with it.....:lol:

Ah well a proper tiler would have cut them all to one size and done the job by now:yes:
What Dave says :stupid:

I once got sent to a customer who had bought tiles without even looking at them. Literally. Aparantly he got them of "some guy who knew a guy"... There were like seven diffent types and looks. Stoneware, porcelain, some white (like Brad Pitt's teeth white) some mud brownish-green, beige, even a few pieces of gray marble, and almost all of it was damaged in some way... And the guy wanted me to make his floor pretty.......... Told him it would look like the ****-sandwhich of the century. He proceeded to call my boss and complain. I begged my then-boss to let me off that one, but he insisted... Told him it was the kind of customer who was unlikely to pay, but the boss persisted. Boss told me he knew the guy's aunt or something, so it was "risk free"... Reminded him that she hadn't paid either (edit: and that she, in fact, owed him the equivialent of £1000). To make the story short; floor looked like crap (actually, more like vomited pizza), customer didn't pay, boss was furious, blamed me. I was ****ing livid at the stupid tard. I quit not long after that, best move I've made in the last few years.

Edit. My then-boss was a good guy when I started working for him, but he went and got himself hooked on gambling. Tip of the day: Don't get yerself hooked on gambling or some dumb **** like that. It increases the likelyhood of you doing oh-so-very-stupid things.
