i tiled a wetroom a few weeks ago light and dark tiles in stripes except the main wall in all dark. i did half the main wall and realised it was the wrong tiles so took them off quickly and cleaned the tiles up, there was a mess everywere as you'd expect then when i started it again i realised they WERE the right colour , it was just the bad light! i could have kicked myself

Sheared a porcelain tile. Put it against the wall - spike up. Cut another tile, put the waste against the wall without looking.... broken spike straight between the fingers, down to the bone. :mad2:

I was skimming a ceiling once, middle of summer and was wearing cut off jeans, also gone commando. The lady of the house brought me a coffee just as i was reaching into the ceiling/ wall corner and I was at full stretch on my trestle when Percy decides to pop out 'cos my flies had come undone:yikes: I couldn't really do owt as I had my trowel in one hand and my handboard in the other:yikes: but the lady diffused the situation by saying "I guess you'd like a scone with your drink then!":lol:

Hang on.....you were wearing cut off jeans, nothing underneath, flies undone and standing on a trestle with your little man hanging out ....I'm sure some have been put on the sex offenders register for less :lol:

I think I can beat Daves, I was tiling over the top of a door way and I was totally lost in my own little world and started singing to myself only rather loudly as the customer had gone out. To this day I dont know why I was singing this, the tune "Im sticking to you" but I changed the words to "Im bumming a sheep" only to find the customer stood behind me.
