Time's Ran Out

Tenerife 2011
Had some lovely weather, a few days with the sun on me head and plenty of nice coffee.
As you can see - everyone's a tiler!:lol:
 
You need to switch off :lol: When I was in Turkey last year our flight was delayed on the return and we were put up at the Hilton which was only finished about 14 months earlier. I found my self inspecting all the finishing workmanship in the loos, restaurants, bedrooms. ....until my wife pointed out I was being a complete saddo :lol:
 
Yep, everywhere I go..:lol: ... but what a shame, such lovely tiles thrown together like that...
 
It was a Mexican themed hotel and this was the WC in the Beach Club Bistro!

G - That's what I thought - lovely tiles.
 
Just to clarify - it was a single cubicle wc. - so producing my phone camera would not contravene any laws on decency and no one shouted George or Gary.
 
Was that a curved wall? I'd wouldn't have opted for diamond on a curved wall. That'll be part of the reason there's a 2mm grout line one side, and a 2ft one the other. lol
 
At least you only took a picture and didn't offer to redo it! That might have been a step too far!
 
sad very sad john 😉.

i once watched some lads in lanzarote tiling a floor on my way to the bar,i have never seen a man hit a floor tile so hard with a rubber mallet in my life,must of been the hardest tiles in the world,looked a good job when finished though
 
ha ha haahaa nice one dan, 2ft! I can't help myself and how do you switch off? I think i got ocd though so that don't help. My boy was eating a bag of crisps the other day up the wrong way with the bottom opened. Honestly my blood starts boiling and I get the twitches :mad2: little things drive me nuts

I doesn't matter what you do for a living I think you'd do the same. A shopkeeper will look at the layout of a shop and butcher will be critical of a steak in a restaurant. Do you think a gynecologist watches **** thinking 'that looks a bit tatty round the edges?'
 
I've posted this one before....it's pathetic when we're looking at this stuff, even more so when our subs are now looking for this stuff because of our neurotic pursuit of perfection. My sparky was at a wedding in Mississippi last Fall, and sent this to me. I even have my sparkies trained to look for bad tile work!:yikes:

I've a couple of tiler mates. Whenever we're out for a beer with other mates we're banned from talking about anything tiling. After about 4 or 5 pints we can't be stopped. ''have you seen the tiling in the bogs?'', ''have you tried that new addy''.... most of my mates are other trades and they just dont do it. It must be something they put in the adhesives!!
