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.

What no stud walls how awful.

We need a tongue in cheek Emoji.

 

[Mike Johnson]

f the notepad I found was the owners… I guess the fella must have been in the house for decades.

Nothing wrong with being in a house for decades, we have been in our current house for forty years and have no plans to move.

Oh yes… of course not…
I should have said in the house for decades and not done much to the house…. But then I realised.. rewired at some point… heating pit in… double glazed etc.

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

My house was built in around 1760. Wiring's not original.

 

[Mike Johnson]

They did not have wiring or even gas when our's was built.

Luxury. Mine was built before bricks or stone were invented.

House… house!?
Bloody luxury…. When I were a lad youde be lucky if you got a cardboard box to sleep in…

 

[Mike Johnson]

Cardboard box, you where lucky we lived in middle of motorway and our dad would make us lick road clean, and murder us in bed before we went to sleep, well we called it a bed, but it really was a hole in the ground, you tell the youngsters now days......................................

 

[littlespark]

Road… Road?!!!

Where we’re going we don’t need roads….



Sorry.. wrong franchise

 

[nicebutdim]

I did German at school so I do do a few lessons of that every so often! Sometimes I find myself mixing the two languages!! Just done my 642nd day yay!

Finnish is an interesting choice, howcome you are learning that?

The language always seemed incomprehensible to me.

 

[littlespark]

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


Eurovision Song Contest presenter.

 

[nicebutdim]

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

 

[pirate]

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?

 

[Moley]

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

 

[Mike Johnson]

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.

 

[Moley]

Bit more info about the Littlebrook practice HERE

 

[Mike Johnson]

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

 

[timhoward]

Father’s Day breakfast at my fave cafe with my 8 yr old. His big sisters are still in bed!
Smoked salmon and spinach muffin with hash brown and fried egg on the side. I can take on the world now!

 

[Mike Johnson]

I actually found a restaurant that knew the difference between Eggs Benedict, Eggs Rockefeller and Eggs Viennese been looking for years.

Gees… my choice was fried, poached or boiled.


Free range though…. Direct out the hen.

(Not our hens…. Local farmer sells trays of 30 for a fiver)


Did get this though….

 

[Mike Johnson]

We are lucky that our next door neighbour keeps chickens in her field, often get six eggs in a carton on the doorstep in the morning the difference between cracking a fresh egg into boiling water and an old egg is quite surprising.

 

[Moley]

I started the day with a bacon omelette. Got messages around 9.30 off the 2 kids wishing me a happy fathers day. I'll be spending the next few hours in front of the set up below then hopefully we'll have the permit to reconnect the gen transformer. So, my main view today

 

[brianmoooore]

Just off to the local hospital to see if they'll let my wife out, after she was admitted yesterday.
Not the Father's day I'd envisaged.

@brianmoooore Hope she is OK and can come home.

 

[Moley]

Hope it's nothing too serious and you can get her home.

 

[brianmoooore]

In there now and waiting for the results of yet more blood tests. What she has would be fatal if untreated, but ok if caught in time, which it has been. I had my suspicions on Saturday morning and checked her blood pressure which was dangerously low

 

[nicebutdim]

Free range though…. Direct out the hen.

Bit of waiting around unless you get lucky. Not exactly fast food.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Whoever said Eggs where fast food, most hens lay overnight whilst they are roosting so collection in the morning for breakfast is normal.

 

[brianmoooore]

More intravenous antibiotics, and finally escaped at 5pm, to find HER father had just been admitted to the same hospital.
All in all, a father's day I could have done without.

 

[Lou]

Morning all, looks like everyone had an alright weekend judging by the posts!

I didn't do much, Dan has gone to help a friend pick up a car from Liverpool this morning so I am on my own for a bit - which is ok by me - I can watch all my true crime stuff whilst I am doing work!

I guess I'm the boss for a bit hahaha ooooh the power!!

 

[brianmoooore]

Most, maybe

 

[brianmoooore]

If someone else wrote this, I would think they're making it up. My daughter has just rung up and said she's in A&E with our youngest grandchild. She wants us to pick up his brother from school, then go to A&E, look after younger child while she goes off with older child to beavers (mini scouts) club.
That will be Thursday, Friday and Monday I've spent in A&E, with the Saturday and Sunday in between spent in the main hospital.

Youngest was with his useless excuse for a father over the weekend, and came back from nursery with a plaster on his head. When his mother removed it, it exposed what can only be described (I've seen a pic.) as a hole in his head, so off she went.
All happened more than 24 hours ago, and he's not showing any ill effects, but definitely needs professional attention.

Sounds like it’s the father who has the hole in the head

Sorry Brian - what a marathon, I really hope all settles down soon....

 

[Mike Johnson]

@brianmoooore you really are having a hard time at the moment, hope it all levels out soon.

 

[brianmoooore]

Just arrived at the hospital to meet daughter and grandchild coming out. All ok.
