To Have and Have Not is a novel by Ernest Hemingway published in 1937 by Charles Scribner's Sons. The book follows Harry Morgan, a fishing boat captain out of Key West, Florida. To Have and Have Not was Hemingway's second novel set in the United States, after The Torrents of Spring.
Written sporadically between 1935 and 1937, and revised as he traveled back and forth from Spain during the Spanish Civil War, the novel portrays Key West and Cuba in the 1930s, and provides a social commentary on that time and place. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers described the novel as heavily influenced by the Marxist ideology Hemingway was exposed to by his support of the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War while he was writing it. The work got a mixed critical reception.The novel had its origins in two short stories published earlier in periodicals by Hemingway ("One Trip Across" and "The Tradesman's Return") which make up the opening chapters, and a novella, written later, which makes up about two-thirds of the book. The narrative is told from multiple viewpoints, at different times, by different characters, and the characters' names are frequently supplied under the chapter headings to indicate who is narrating that chapter.
Recently been working on a job with Saloni porcelain tiles 900x450s and they are horrible to work with, extremely hard (imo).. granted the two dry cutters I've used have been a bit rubbish (vitrex 1200 and Macalister b&q job), this is my first job over 600mm so I wanted to avoid getting the...
Hi All
I got some slips laid at the front of my house and I’m not happy with the job - some of the rows are a bit off, and when I challenged the brickie he said the slips are not cut straight and couldn’t be laid straight so I told him to stop the job. My assumption is despite brick slips being...

Hi all,
We ran a ‘Messy Van Competition’ on a couple of forums a few years back and had quite a bit of fun so we’ve decided to help out those in need by providing the two messiest vans with one of our ‘Van Storage Tilt Bin 4’ units.
We’re going to run the competition on the...
I was just wondering if anyone has the sigma jolly edge, or used one?
I brought one around a year ago. It worked very well for about 7 mitres on a 60/60 porcelain tile.
All of a sudden it started to run off the mitre edge leaving it thick. I’ve read the set up instructions and have it set...
I have just had these fitted, good job ? bad job ?
I phoned him and said its not the best job I had seen and he said I was a cheeky b**tard, would you let him put a piece in the gap below ?
dewalt laser level dce089d1g, would love to see one in action in real life. Seeing more and more tilers starting to use them. Would love for someone who has one to let me know what they think or anyone who’s seen one in action. Main reason I’m interested is ‘apparently’ it can do floor laser...

What's the EQUILEVENT For pens?
Can any tilers recommend a way of getting these black dots off our wall tiles? The tiles are matt white and are porcelain. Black Bal grouting was used.
We have tried all different grout removers but none have worked.
Hi all... I have changed career after 30 years and am starting up as a 'handyman', which will involve bathroom refits and tiling.
I have done lots of personal tiling over the years but never charged anyone for it.....that is a daunting prospect. I want to ensure I provide the best service...
what's your favourite grout that you use whenever possible? For a long long time I've used grout 3000, always found it ok to use and it's versatile, but recently I've used palace that was supplied and it was a total dream to use! And today I've used bal micromax, and after I got over the fact it...
Hi all I'm a labourer at the moment but looking to go into tiling because I'm at the age now where it's now or never an really like the thought of tiling never had experience but definitely willing to learn with someone maybe weekends through the week. I have been in contact with a tiling centre...
I mean who acutually watches this garbage? who sits down of an evening and sits through it? How low can you scrape the barrel of sickly brainless nobodys on camera?
One advert for it and I'm wretching...
