    Any tilers on here? Need some advice?

    I've done some tiling but no means a pro, the plywood maybe absorbing the moisture from the grout, that will then dry it out, leaving it unable to bond, a pva wash should do the trick for you. Look on the bright side you could look at it as a practice run ! :)

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    Thank you, I'm doing the steps but find another programme also helps, it's a battle at times but I know I have to continue to have any quality of life at all. Have been to some agencies today and didn't mention the conviction and they may have something for me next week, so fingers crossed and...

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    A drunken assault, first offence but its there in black and white. I'll give it a go, I have nothing to lose. Thanks for your advice.

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    I am still on probation for the offence as well, with another year to go. The reality of a police cell and possible custodial sentence was the turning point for me.

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    So I don't need to mention it ? Surely if it came out afterwards that would be mis- leading or gross misconduct ? Are there any checks they can do without my consent ? Biggest fear for me is going from living with the lies and deception of alcohol abuse to the living a lie to a future employer.

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    All agencies and employers ask for a CRB check now days. I was a team manager in a debt solutions company, but we were sold and all left jobless, as the new owners took it to Manchester. At this moment in time I would do anything, just to have the satisfaction of a purpose day to day. But I can...

    What is the biggest challenge you have ever faced?

    Beating alcohol addiction ( 1 year on the 6th January ), being made redundant in November and unable to find a job because of a drunken criminal record. And facing Christmas with no income, but on the plus side, I'm alive, I'm sober and a far nicer person for it.

    The most important debut album in history

    Again I stand corrected :blush: This is a Modern World was quite forgettable, but I should have checked my facts. Still All Mod Cons is a fantastic album followed closely by Dig the New Breed. Oh the good old days ! Think I have some listening to do........ now where did I put my tape deck

    The most important debut album in history

    You are right, my apologises my first Jam Album and had it in mind it was the debut, but your correct In the City 1977 and all Mod Cons 1978, I shall blame age on my confusion. :whistle:

    The most important debut album in history

    James Brown Sex Machine. Ok, not his first album but his first studio album, but in my opinion, the roots of the soul/ funk generation. The Who My Generation. Broke the 60's " brit pop " stereo type of smart suited and booted bands. The Jam All Mod Cons. Best...

    Who killed Lucy Beale?

    Abi Branning, I think she saw Max and Lucy ( hence the picture of them together ) and remembers how it tore her family apart before, so eliminated the problem. Yes I'm forced to watch it under sufferance but I get to watch all the football !
