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.

I did not touch the glass bits, I have an twin turbine industrial vacuum cleaner that is powerful enough that I don't let small children or pets near when using it.

Last night, I was just sitting jumping up through the higher up sky channels, got to the 350’s… music videos.
MTV, meh….
Found “The Box” and the screen said the channel closing down today!
(Also Kerrang)

Nostalgia memory incoming



When I first moved away from home in the mid 90’s, my little rented bedsit in not the best area of Dundee… my only entertainment was a Nintendo snes and a “fixed” Telewest cable tv box

“The Box” was one of the only music channels on at the time, and was advertised as “music television you control”
Every video had a 3 (or 4) digit code… and viewers could text in with the code and a message that would be printed on screen.

Of course, back then….. an hour would consist of repeated showings of the same song…… usually Robson and Jerome.

Kerrang closing??? Nooooooo......

Well, today I'm still in Great Yarmouth. Already done todays work and cant start anything else until tomorrow so quiet day for me. Came down for breakfast and it looks like the whole of the town is here. Told theres a long wait for cooked food so its just a bowl of porridge for me. There's a car show on the seafront so going off to see that. Maybe aquarium afterwards.

Kerrang closing??? Nooooooo......

Yep… kerrang, the box, kiss, 4 music and Magic are all shutting down.




2 days to go, and the wife has decorated already…

I had a good weekend - I went to visit my family in York, had a nice catch up and ate some good food!

@littlespark I have a big birthday this year too!! (I was in the robson and jerome fan club so it was probably me getting it played all the time!! Oh the shame!)

How was the car show @Moley ?

 

[Moley]

@littlespark 50? Still a youngster. I can't even remember my 60th but that could just be me going senile
@Lou Car show wasn't bad. A few nice cars. Loads of American motors. Took me back 40 years when I was single and bought myself a Camero

Today has been slow. I'm at Snetterton. Waited over 2 hours for the permit. Only just started work.

Ugh slow Mondays - The WORST!! But hey it is nearly lunch time!

I went to an awesome vintage flea market yesterday in York it was huge and had all sorts of stuff! Got a few bits and pieces, glad dan stayed at home, he would have hated it lol we did three laps of the place!

 

[Moley]

I've never understood why people want to buy vintage fleas

They built them properly back then, none of your modern fleas with their 'made in China' plastic parts!

50th birthday? I remember it well, although it was a looooong time ago.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's about when the long decline starts.

We’re up at aviemore, and the site has a quad bike course.



The stupid tufts of pink in the helmet were added because my darling wife told them it was my birthday.

The way you are dressed it looks like typical Scottish summer weather.
How does it feel to be an old fart?
