Does it mean you are a bad tiler if you have slow patches?

yehh..... I had few bad moments, when some Brits called me cheap f**** polish labourer. (I'm not really labourer, not even Polish :lol: )
 
lol Only in your special little bubble big man

post 223

im not talking about the walls I didn't get done, im talking about the new stud wall that has been tiled and my new floor mainly , that I have already paid out for being ruined that's more of a concern

this guy will be a good tiler, cos my mates ex hub wouldn't recommend someone that's crap cos hes a manager in a big well known tile shop and he said that would give the shop a bad reputation, when I said I would only want someone that was experienced and decent, he might have had a cancellation ill find out more on sat there could be a genuine reason, but im really not worried cos hes fully aware of what ive been put through so far and I would rather have someone recommended than me trying to find someone

Meanotile, how was I meant to know these developments in post 223 when I made my initial comment that caused all the stir in post 220?
 
ok whats the best runner youve done ?
i was just trying to divert a confrontation which i have been trying to do so for last few days !!
 
sorry i forgot to divulge that my best runners were in my youth as well funily enough.
and they were always on foreign fields just in case i got caught !!
wouldnt want my mother to find out!

Done a runner from a *** shop in Munich when away on a European tour with the famous Glasgow Rangers. Her indoors was pleased when she opened my case & a certain shaped "Device" fell out from between my hoards of tobacco!!
 
nooooo
im really talking about doing a runner .]
nothing to do with tiling.
some of my best runners were taught to me by a scot.
you may not have read a n earleir thread about this crazy scot who i was doing a medical experiment course with in munich in 80S.
we were all human monkeys and better paid than any tiler.
I was there in germany when the tilers came over but i was lying in a comfy bed all day .
15 days in the clinic paid for 3 months to s.ameraic/africa/south east asia lying on a beach.
happy days !!
i can tell you the best scot travel story you wll ever hear if you are interested
 
Always been from Indian 'restaurants'. Our particular MO was as follows:-

1) Get pi$$ed
2) Go for Indian and sit near exit
3) Run, before they've realised which way you've gone
 
steff . you cant be the scot i am talking about are you!!
I know you are not but I was living in munich for two years .
there was another scot who i had the pleasure of sharing a cell with in stadelheim prison after the beerfest and i have to say that i had no problems at all ,with him looking out for me .
i am intersted in funny runner stories!!
 
Are we serious here, this sounds like serious fun! Eat a meal then bolt

Oh yeah baby, used to do it from taxis as well, always get a taxi from city centre and they don't know the area you live that well. Ask him to stop near an alley way or similar, look as if you're getting your wallet out and bolt!!!

And I'd be the first to kick up a stink if a customer refused to pay me now, but I had youth and naivety on my side then, oh and speed!!! :lol:
 
charlie. youre winding me up man !!
one of the best sports ever.
i just never did it in uk in case i got caught.
im going to sleep now but the scot friend of mine from munich who travelled to argentina from mexico on a scottish passport for the world cup is very hard to beat.

You mean very hard to catch:lol:
 
a taster from me about runner i did with my client..
about 18 years ago was doing marble tiling in switzerland and my client took me and my mate to a restaurant in geneva.
he was a top boy in goldman sachs and we had connections hence getting the job .
went in his aston martin in to geneva and he parked his motor outside the best restaurant in town.
we ate the best on offer and then the banker suggested we do a runner just for a laugh.
he had his aston right outside but he was sure the restaurant woulkd not have taken his plate no.
his banker mates had done this before and got way with it.
he was not even drinking , just gota kick out of it..
so we walked out and never heard a thing about about it.
crazy man as he could have lost his job if caught.
thats a tiler related story but i have some intersteing other ones
 
one of my mates tried doing a runner out of an indian restaurant via the window in the toilet, he was absolutely hammered and got wedged in the top opener,,,,waiter found him and explained to him that he'd already paid, (he was a "serial runner" so always had to pay for his meal first)

Does this mean I'm bad tiler? :sofahide: Startet today, stripped old wall paper, make good, hang lining paper and paint ...
 
seems to have gone a bit OT here. interesting thread though. wonder if the question should also be asked is if your always busy does that make you a good tiler.
