What do you like to do when you're not tiling?

[John Benton]

I don't know John, I'm 38 and I've got lawn envy!! I've got the stripes thanks to my Hayter but unfortunately the stripes run through naff grass, moss, dead patches where the dogs pee.... you get the picture!!

You've peaked too early. I bet it's really green and lush around the edges of where the dogs pee as well

Yep! I can see a new competition coming, lawn of the month! Or most improved lawn!

I got quite into gardening when we (my wife and I), bought our first house together 3 years ago, I got the lawn looking quite decent, now it's just a mass of weeds! Really annoying, apparently green thumb are very cheap and get really good results.

Cars im not bothered with, never can understand the need to have a fancy motor, a lad over the road buys/sells little sports cars , TTs or z3/4s , keeps one for a few months then sells then buys another, cleans it two or 3 times a week,weird if u ask me.
My hobbys are family, eating out,lads nights, then ive got me scuba diving, mostly around britain but im off egypt in july with mates and living on this for the week

Its a liveaboard, full crew ,and 26 divers, mixed, dive day time get drunk at night , great week

I think my mates is running around 500bhp. I am not surprised in the slightest that these are up for that sort of money in concourse condition. Too many 80s kids now buying them, tuning them and ragging them. The time to buy is now if you have storage. Id pay 20k for one in mint condition but any more is ridiculous. They are defo an investment. I'd store one til I was 50 and sell then.

so you would only keep it 6 months mate before selling?

mate you need to up your game my cousin who is 7 says jokes like that ! im 30 !!! not 49.5

[cam_low]

[Diggy]

I enjoy tiling very much and consider myself to be very fortunate to be doing a job that is so rewarding but, everyone has other interests what are yours?

Research 🙂

Motorcycles and watching rugby are my passion...

I've been riding bikes for over 30 years and used to play rugby every weekend.....till the knees stopped working now I just love to watch it...

Unfortunately the palm tree was killed by Red palm weevil. They lay their eggs in the tree and the grubs eat their way through it, they look like those wichety (?) grubs that the Aboriginals eat.

I also love my toys. Had a white RS2000 in the late 80s, Best car I ever owned.
As the years go by, got myself a Audi S-line, Love it but not as good as my RS.
Also have a wide body bay-liner 2655 Cabin cruiser. not new but great for taking the family out on the sunny days we have here in Cumbria.
Everyone needs down time.

Yep but going back to bubbles, more fun and no hours of prepping the gear, some of my favourite dives in 10 to 20m of water.
