Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Even I haven't sank to Love Island level yet!!

I do apologise, again, I blame my daughter and she brain-washed me into watching it.

Although I did read Joey Essex is in it for some bizzare reason.

Yes some bloke came on at the end and my daughter mentioned that name.. I had to ask who it was.

On the other hand I got excited yesterday because a new series of 90 day finace uk has started!

I had to Google what that is.
I mean, what could go wrong with marrying someone you have only known for 90 days??

It's an online dissolved fault gas analyser. It takes oil in from the transformer and analyses what gasses are there. Different transfomer faults can be diagnosed depending on what gasses are found. I agree on the tray cover but that wasn't me. The power station guys did that.

That's the good thing about having kids. You can blame them for things you secretly want to do

I did enjoy using that excuse when we went one of the Play Centers. Especially if it had a go-kart section in it.

Love island does make me laugh and also has the added bonus of women walking around not wearing much.

You mean like the back room at The Arms?



Been watching Britains got (no) talent…. What a surprise, a magician, a singer and a dog act in the top 3
Real talent is on The Piano on channel 4.

The Nevermets…. Also on ch4 on a Friday… where couples who have only ever spoken online travel to another country to meet face to face.

Cringe

There was mention of this today on the BBC news website.

I feel just as embarrassed admitting that I read BBC news as I would be admitting to watching Love Island.

Ok so who watched the debate last night? What did you think of it??

 

[westward10]

I only watched because my girlfriend wanted to and I have no intention of voting for anyone. It was the usual playground taunting and arguing and Julie Etchingham did well to keep them in check but overall I think Sunak came out ahead.

 

[nicebutdim]

Politics in the UK & Ireland seems to have descended into farce - several parties all offering basically the same policies, many of which fall into the category of specialist interest and certainly not what I imagine a lot of voters find interesting. Hard to believe this was accidental and, as such, I have no notion of watching politicians argue pretty much the same points.

At least Corbyn or Johnson offered something to engage voters, whereas the current likely candidates are about as entertaining as I imagine plucking hairs from one's pubic region to be.

Oh well, even on holiday the jobs keep coming in...my morning is already mapped out.
My friends have an outside light which I fixed 2 years ago...Wiska box and Wagos sorted it, so I know it's just a crap fitting, thus I picked up new one today and it will be a simple swap-out...
but the rub is...they are having a BBQ on their terrace in the evening...nothing special, just a leg of local lamb and all the trimmings, rosemary from the garden, lamb marinaded in Xoriguer gin and slow cooked with patatas bravas and wild garlic also from their garden...
I am invited to partake! Oh YES! The job will be easy, and the rewards amazing!
I love Spain! I posted this too early for the thread tomorrow, but by tomorrow mornng I will be busy!
THe local lamb is fabulous!
Gambas a la plancha is the starter...and never a word about the cost of the work...we don;t charge for such jobs here we just enjoy !
My wee job yesterday was rewarded with a 3 course meal and much wine...
I'm definitely going to relocate here!

UK lamb price is abhorrent and yet sheep farmers generally don't make a lot. I usually eat my way through several of the cute little buggers each time I visit Spannish territories.

Spain is a bit like Grease, most of the Lamb turns out to be Goat/Kid.

Today is finish the install of the 3rd analyser. Was hoping to have it done yesterday but things went a bit 'breasts skyward'. Got a power cable and a temperature probe to connect then swap the permits over, deisolate and get the commissioning done. Tomorrow will be doing the final commissioning on all 3 and screen shots off the pc for the warranty.

I am learning Spanish on an app called Duolingo. My streak is 639 days and counting! Can't wait to go back to Spain now I can speak it better. Last time I went I had just started to learn.

Just watching the D Day service on TV at the moment whilst doing my work. I guess you could call him my Step-Grandad was in the army and on the beaches that day.

Very different meats, but both very tasty.

Brilliant app. I have five languages on the go and a streak of 764 or thereabouts.

 

[littlespark]

Ive got a Wordl streak of 45 days.... not the same, is it.

My limited Spanish was gleaned via a full set of CDs by Michel Tomas. I loaded my car autochanger with the CDs and listened on my daily 1 hour 15 minute each way commute to work. I liked his style, but he's not to everyone's taste. Sadly, he is now deceased but his work in the War years made him quite famous.

I believe duolingo is a very good system too. My friend's daughter likes it very much and loves to acheive the targets. Her Spanish is pretty good, given she's only 8 years old and has no Spanish lessons at her school!

 

[brianmoooore]

Don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but with Hitchhiker's Babel fish fast becoming a reality, the ability to speak more than one language is likely soon be irrelevant.

 

[littlespark]

Youngest is away up to edinburgh today to watch Tay-Tay at Murrayfield..... and somehow will make it to school by 8;50am tomorrow morning.....

 

[Moley]

What's Tay-Tay ?

 

[brianmoooore]

What's Tay-Tay ?

Even I can answer that one. That will be Ms Swift.

 

[littlespark]

Yes… it’s Taylor Swift…. But I can’t say that name because it comes out as “trailer Swift”…. That’s the name of our caravan….

Sorry, Moley… you only know baa baa

 

[Moley]

I should have guessed. My daughter and me were talking about her earlier today.

My daughter never shuts up about her to be honest…..
