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.

Speaking that many languages fluently can only lead to one career move….


Eurovision Song Contest presenter.

I'll consider applying should I ever become fluent in that many languages.

If I had my time over again I'd make sure that I could speak another language fluently, I'd choose Spanish again, and also be able to play a musical instrument well.
You'll always be able to make some kind of living with those two skills, even if it is a fairly meagre existence. However, a friend's son works for PWC and when they discovered his language skills they posted him abroad, he now lives in Madrid, and his promotion was meteoric leaving his peers behind...and all because he was fluent in Spanish.

Anyway, what have I got planned for this morning? I had a lazy start, and having just returned from my break I'm doing a washing and heading to the supermarket to get some food in. Exciting, huh?

The view from my 'office' yesterday. Was the same today up until about 1/2 hour ago when it started chucking it down

Interesting looks a lot like the 400Kva sub-station I set our at Littlebrook D many years ago now, decommissioned and demolished, obviously not good enough.

 

[Moley]

Ah, Littlebrook. I spent a few weeks at the power station many years ago. After it was decommissioned I believe they used it for a while for practising London underground rescues. They had 'crashed' trains set up in the turbine Hall.

Probably the most useful spend of EU monies ever better than straightening bananas.

My own parents house is as old as me, and they’ve been in it 50 years now.

You should try to entice them to go out now and again
