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.

Annual isn't too bad. Usually around 25k. Most of the time I drive to a hotel Sunday/Monday and then it's just short trips hotel to site and back then Friday drive home. Full EV would be no good. I would spend too much time charging. Plus, not sure if there is a full EV Transit Custom

Maybe get one of those 60 mile range Transporters and you could write a book about motorway services.

Yeah and it's a surprisingly interesting channel. Especially the stuff which isn't signposted.

It's surprising how he makes it so interesting. I think his sense of humour helps.

Indeed, it's surprisingly addictive! Also, Flight Focus 365 on You Tube...can't believe how much time I waste watching planes taking off or landing at Heathrow...I've imposed a 1 week ban on it!

Well, I finished my today job at around 10:30. Takes about 1 1/2 hours to get to the next Premier Inn so I've been killing time wandering around Meadowhall(?) shopping centre and wondering why people enjoy going to those places.

Currently sifting through CV's for an oppo to take around Europe with me for a month. Double challenge of trying to find someone not only capable but also sociable/personal enough to pretty much live in each others pockets out on the road (and with others, too, there'll be 12-16 people as a touring party). Also trying to find someone younger who could do with the opportunity maybe more than others - a bit PC, I know, Another colleague on the project and I are both agreed that we'd rather give the role to a deserving younger female (if one is of equal merit, naturally...) than some cliched mid 20's middle class white kid who'll do alright on his own anyway. Father of a daughter, etc. It an earnest minefield!

I use FlightRadar24 You can track flights all over the world. There's currently a 42 year old Piper PA-38-112 flying overhead at 1,500ft and descending.

You should have called at the pub on Sheffield train station. A really good selection of ales there and the original old tiles etc from when it was a ticket office.
