Re: Female Tilers

I was a Pl Sgt in the Infantry.

Been tiling for a while now and I am a plumber too. (Did the college thing - it sounds like we went to the same college, as my tutors never gave a damn either.....).

Doing my NVQ in tiling right now with Chase Tiling Academy.

Do you guys find it hard to work with ill motivated people? I do, and I have worked with some right mongs on site. Winging about the cold etc....

Guess I am a right mong then !

I hate tiling when I am in some new builds - no windows in - wind blowing in, no heating, no proper toliet, outside tap with freezing cold water. Will make no apologies for it. Hey if you like it then fair play to you. not my cup of tea. Guess you are made of stronger stuff.

Re: Female Tilers

On site means anywhere where there is work, here in the midlands. Not just new builds.

Where the money is, is where I am - rain or shine

I guess you must be a posh tiler then, with a nice clean van and baby soft hands? lol

Re: Female Tilers

Not quite - N Reg Astra 1.8 TDI - cost me £600 two years ago - very reliable - paid for. Hands are calloused to hell.
Sorry I meant on site as anywhere like a new build in the cold weather. Will always do it if the work is there, doesn't mean that I have to like it.
You ex army guys have probably been trained to enjoy cold unpleasant conditions. I don't particularly enjoy them. If that makes me a mong then so be it :wink_smile:

Re: Female Tilers

Taliking of ex army nutters - has anyone seen that programme on Saturday nights - "Bear Grylls" - he is a proper nut job - tough as old boots, real strength & determination, gets dropped off by parachute into the worlds most inhospitable places armed only with a knife & a water bottle. Has to find his way out - awesome

Re: Female Tilers

I've seen that nutter...ex sas I believe. Trust me, u wouldn't want to be in a war next to him....he would draw fire..

Rule 1) Never share a foxhole with someone braver than you...they draw fire..

Rule 2) On the battlefield, try not to look important.....you draw fire..

Rule 3) Watch the yanks.... there's nothing more accurate than incoming 'friendly fire'

Couldn't be true enough mate....

Re: Female Tilers

The low bit... no problem... It's the 'fast' bit i struggle with, the days of the BFT in full NBC kit are well behind me

My mob's just been amalgamated to form 'The Rifles'.... One of the worst points is the new Royal CIC's of the respective units.... Prince Edward? (failed bootneck) and camilla parker bowles...???? OUCH:sad_smile:

Re: Female Tilers

Lol - mine are about to be amalgamated.

7 mins 10 secs is my fastest time on the BFT. Takes me that long to get out me front door and start me van now.... lol

Re: Female Tilers

That guy is amazing,he was in the S.A.S at the age of 23 he's climbed Everest at an early age plus he once broke his back and was told he'd never walk again.Tough b*****d I made my 6 year old watch it with me and he loved the bit where he caught that turtle,killied it then ate it.
That man is truly tough and I think he's amazing BUT none of that comes in handy when your tilling a bathroom with crumbling plaster,don't think his survival skills will come in much use then lol:happy:

Concept,
strange but true:

You find all sorts of wierd things on your travels..... my strangest was on the falls road in 1985, we found a soldier....he was Infantry too, and he'd been left behind by his brick, he'd been hiding in a garden for 10 minutes......scary

 

[Concept PHT]

Bloody hell, brick commander doing his job then? lol

Up the gunners! 12 years brill, 3 tours south armagh, crossmaglen, cuulyhannah

 

[CON5933]

Norrarf...not

Absolutely crap is the term, I had the guy walkin in the middle of the brick on the way home, just in front of me (I didn't trust anyone else to go 3rd man)
His patrolling skills were none existent. In fairness they spent thier time on the east side, mst have thought comin over to the west was one big jolly for them
