Anyone Watching Diy Sos Tonight?

[StevieBoy]

As title, I like watching this to see what the tiling is like. Trouble is, they don't show any of it long enough to tell.

I know a builder who worked on this for a day and he said it was chaos! Apparently he was boarding a bedroom ceiling in the rain as part of the roof was still missing!

 

[StevieBoy]

Just seen the two royals on it painting over wet plaster. Can't get my head around that, but I understand it is the norm nowadays.

Do you have the ability to record or pause the tv Stevie?
I just watched it actually, it was run of mill stuff, but I did quite like the use of the timber effect planks in the shower!
That idea seems to be catching on lately!

[Old Mod]

[StevieBoy]

I had to blow my nose on my tshirt and I've still got a lump in my throat.......
Oh ok then......I was bawling like a bird

 

[AD Ceramics]

I actually thought about volunteering until I was informed it was over the road from the council stadium of Manchester, The Etihad to you southerners, or the emptyhad to you united fans. Oops off topic. What do points make?
Can Dan do a poll of football teams supported or has it been done, it'd be handy to know who to block or avoid

 

[Old Mod]

Hahaha nutta!
Do your own poll!
Go to general chat, post thread add a poll!

Very emotional and touching and also eye opening that it takes a TV program to help our very own military personnel ,who literally fought life and limb for our country.
They can pay for dossers with 10 kids who can't be atsed working and they can pay for asylum seekers or 'refugees' to come and live rent free in our country ,yet they can't look after these lads and lasses,kinda gets my goat

I missed this! Too much going on at the moment.

I volunteered but in the end couldn't commit. If it's anything like it suggested to be then brilliant.
MPs and government should be bloody ashamed if themselves and how they treat veterans and current serving forces.
Two big thumbs up to Nick and the huge team behind him that really do pull off amazing work.

Painting over plaster etc etc. Nevermind picking at the details. The work GETS done by warm hearted volunteers. A large majority of people that volunteered for the one u did visit the centre regular, still help out and provide aftercare.

@AliGage
Well said mate!!

So Alister, apart from on the forum,
Did u ever come under fire?
Bosnia was t it mate?

 

[AliGage]

Lol. Definitely on the forum.

I had a trade so it was rare I was ever in a position to experience proper contact. But there was one occasion whilst in Bosnia. Travelling between Banja Luka and Sipovo.

 

[Old Mod]

Closest I came was leaving the Navy (compassionate reasons)
Just a few months before the Falklands.

You was Signals Ali, was you attached to other regiments....

 

[AliGage]

Not specifically but my tine in Bosnia was spent in the metal factory. Central headquarters, every national, regiment, service etc all went through there or was stationed there.
My regiment provided all the comes. Data. Telephony, IT, wireless, Web, etc.

I spent a small stint of the in Sipovo ad a central comms link support for the bade and ground troops.

Still mainly fiddling with wires, and ensuring everyone could chat lol

The way that the programme can bring a grown man to tears says it all really, a really worthy casue. If anyone hears of any similar projects please post it on here as I'd be willing to travel if workload allowed

I watched this
Tears to flowed well up north, was it grey grout used on those plank tiles, fairly tidy job.
I did something similar in a local town,aid for aiden, lovely little boy with condition callled gloves syndrome, very rare, sadley he pasted away only six months after the house was completed, it was organised by a local builders merchant, big respect for mkm builders merchant, alnwick. Top guys. At least he had a litgle time. Just shows local support is live and well even without tv cameras. Altnough i think diy sos is top tv. Hats off to the guys and girls who help out.

 

[StevieBoy]

Makes you appreciate life for sure.
