Well that didn't go as planned. Was hoping to get signed off by my oncologist today as it's 5 years since I had my radiotherapy but my last scan showed stuff that is growing and needs monitoring so I'm back to quarterly scans.

Thanks guys. It's nothing scary, the type of cancer I have is indolent ( very slow growing ) it's just that I thought I was done with it. At least they're quick to keep on top of it here and I'll be closely monitored.
Good luck mate...

So that wasn't too bad at all! Because of the position of the nerve root they had to put me under. Result! I didn't feel a thing and I left the hospital a minute ago, not before knocking my cannula and spraying my recovery bay in blood 🙄

Was called last night by a lady in tears pleading me for help with her wet room. Basically a maintenance man has made a complete hash of it. I went there today, took some pics and will be quoting with a view to rectify in around 5-6 months time. I've advised her to contact Trading standards and commence a small claims. She has pleaded with them to return & rectify but they refused. The writing in chalk is the customers!
Tile on tile, no tanking and no fall in the floor, in fact it slopes away from the drain to the toilet!!

She can’t rectify that!
That’s about as bad as it gets.
She just needs to name and shame .

I've just had the best day in ages.... a sequence of chance opportunities!
Spent this morning having a very productive meeting with a interior designer who has agreed for me to install 2 wet rooms for his client later in the year.
Whilst driving home I was called by a lady wanting a shower enclosure tiled. She happened to be 2 minutes away from where I was so I quoted her.
As I left her I received another call from an old dear wanting a small splashback tiled next month. She lives 5 minutes from my house so I popped in there quickly.
Home for lunch with wife and kids (half term). Wife's friend called and we went out with her for a long walk in the forest. Whilst out, my brother calls to say he has been given tickets to see Chris Hadfield (the famous Canadian astronaut) in Southampton in the evening.
So just got back home after seeing this amazing guy give an inspirational and interesting talk about himself, space and finished off with this number......
Night all 🙂

The tiles are of such poor quality that they have all those restriction to their use. Shade, joint width, staggering limits etc.

wrote this love letter?
does not it look like a love letter? dear tiler. professional tiler etc. etc.
just missing a picture of a milf and the description was perfect.
said this, with a description like that, the tiler
before contesting, he thinks twice.
and after reading, he has nothing more to do
because they explained everything.

floops are there all over the world.
only advantage in Italy is that after an error
send the brand off and how you turn around
another brand is there to replace it.
given the wide selection of brands available.
but I can also make mistakes, I do not know how it works abroad.
here it works like this.

So today was my impromptu meeting with the director of BCT. It went pretty well for a first meeting. He bought along Starbucks coffee and we stood outside in the freezing cold whilst it was snowing and chatted. We talked about the issues raised in the BCT thread and no excuses were given which was refreshing. He said that they really are looking into the matters and this is what promoted his visit to Devon to the factory to get some answers. He spoke about what they as a company are doing to improve their relationship with fixers to gain that invaluable feedback and ultimately to better themselves and their reputation, and the meeting with myself will be one of many yet to come.
I have invited BCT to openly join the forum as a 'company support' account and answer questions when raised.
This was a great first meeting and a step in the right direction for us tilers!

Well done Geoff and generous with your own time to make a difference to benefit all of us. Tell him to come up to Aberdeen with coffee and I’ll show him the dunkin test between a bct tile and a hob nob ( I already know the results)
