  1. Aye, thanks for your advice at the weekend mate, first time I have skimmed over Artex & it came out really good. Felt a noticeable amount more under pressure though, not because of the artex, but it's the first job I have done in my parents house & anything less than 110% I would have ended up kicking my self big time. What was even better was her face when she went to pay me & I told her to put her money away, as if she thinks I would charge my own mother for work in her house. It would just be plain wrong.
  2. Just appeal & play on the fact that your blatantly willing to work, by rights they can't turn someone down for jobseekers allowance for wanting to go out & work. I'm so lucky I dont have to deal with them any more & have a really god job in terms of aiding my career. The amount of beef I have had with that pack of oxygen thieves over the years I have done well to say I never lost an appeal with them. They tried to tell me that I wasn't entitled to a free course for my CSCS card as it wasn't relevant to what I was doing at college. I'm doing plastering lol! Do u still have to go & sign on to pay your stamp?
  3. Watch a program called American Weed & watch all the prescribed drugs that get replaced by it. It's pretty impressive. The fundamentals of the program though, are a whole different argument, for a whole different polotics thread.
  4. The government need to raise the apprenticeship age to 30, or at least offer older people some sort of training. Try & fill in the gap in the building trade that the milk snatcher left. My main interest in polotics is the nutty antics of Boris Johnson, for someone who comes across as really dosey, he's a character.
  5. U lot are gonna get some peace, aint gonna be out for at least the next 3 weekends because my bosses other labourer has a nasty habit of being too wrecked every weekend to work, leaving me to carry all his work. The ginger oxygen thief. Ah well, think of the coin.
  6. Any tips for today, would be wrong not to nip in the bookies...

  7. Are there any plasterers on here? Boss is on holiday & college is closed but need a quick bit of advice....

      I'm doing my Mams bathroom ceiling, has artex on it, but it hardly hangs down at all. I've seen my boss skim straight over it before but can't remember if he done any extra bonding than he would a normal ceiling? First time I have done any work in my parents house & it feels like a lot more pressure than a normal job lol!

  8. Love it when you remember old tunes.
  9. Were they the Nandas off your Virus Ste or did you get new ones?
  10. A couple of my mates have been in touch & asked if I wanted in on a dash for cash night on Forza Horizons, my wallet is shaking with the excitement of being full, I should just save them the hassle & tell them to just give me their money now haha!

      The format is 8 lads,

  11. Mate they haven't got a clue, when I started my job I kept getting asked who at the Job Centre found me it, they were insistent, even after me saying a hundred times "I got it through a mate of my old man" I kept getting asked who at the job centre got me it, they actually believe that they are helping people back into work. Just before I got said job I got a volunteer work placement with a plasterer (that I didnt end up taking because I got a paid job) the job centre told me that I was not allowed to do it & that I have to attend a compulsory work trial in the stockrooms at B & M, because it had no relevance to any form of employment haha. I got lucky & got my job that weekend. What sector are you looking for work in like fella?
  12. As I said in my status feed, Noah & the Whale, is there any point to these weird humans apart from them making music that pollutes my ears?
  13. Is there actually any point in my birds taste in music. Noah & the Whale, really, not even a whale would listen to this rubbish, time to get the drum & bass out, that will teach her...

  14. Go on, I find job centre horror stories funny & may be able to help because of my past experiences with the pack of clowns. The day they tried to make my lass apply for a bricklaying apprenticeship when she has a law degree was one of my personal favourites, said they were gonna have a sanction placed on money because "she was not applying for relevant employment" Thank god i'm grafting now, dunno how much more I could have dealt with the complete muppets.
  15. Sorry my bad, I can remember reading the thread & talking tto him about his Hyper on Sunday, must have got my self mixed up. Hope nobody has ordered the wrong size shell.
  16. Not sure if this counts but I got a massive whack in the plums when I stupidly stood behind a baja on a stone path, just after someone gave it the beans. It hurt. Big time.
  17. The sun is out in Middlesbrough. That's not gonna last long.
  18. As if Gaz has joined the dark side. He should change his username to Judas of Scariott.
  19. Just been looking at Parrot Drones, damn them things look cool, one flying above a bash filming the carnage would be well sweet...

  20. You gonna be running this in on Sunday at Crimdon Ste? Nice workbench as well lol
  21. Wouldn't mind going there like, looks canny good. Wouldn't have a clue where it is though. It's north of Middlesbrough, technically that's Scotland lol!
  22. Does anyone know much about this place, video is a bit runnish but it's a place called Hill End, Frosterley, Count Durham. Video was only upped in January this year by some lad called Wayne Emmerson, dunno if any of u guys know him, or if anyone knows what the crack is with this place?
  23. Signed. Will be interesting to see what comes of it. .
