Re: What did you do before tiling?
"You can't touch this
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
My, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good, when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch
I told you homeboy (You can't touch this)
Yeah, that's how we living and you know (You can't touch this)
Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can't touch this)
Fresh new kicks, advance
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch
Yo, I told you (You can't touch this)
Why you standing there, man? (You can't touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (You can't touch this)"

Re: What did you do before tiling?
Mechanic and then gardening for 5 years....... starting my tiling course on Monday...... can't wait to do something that means I won't get p*ss wet through and freezing cold every winter!
I'm 26 so will hopefully still be doing it and doing well in 25 years.

Re: What did you do before tiling?
well guys , don't take this the wrong way but i find it a little bit alarming that most of the replies don't say .....School, then got an apprenticeship as a tiler!!!
Been in the trade since i left shcool (at 14!!)
Left the trade in my mid 20's to join art school where i studied new media / graphic design.
came back to the trade , but i found my learning of visual layout & design very applicable within the tiling trade!!

Re: What did you do before tiling?
Used to be an engineering foreman, used to get earache from the man at the top and grief from the lads on the floor . Do I miss it? do I not. (that's the cleaned up expression!)

Re: What did you do before tiling?
isn't the question should HE not be in the jokes! (only joking bud!)
I was & still am at the moment a HGV LORRY DRIVER, i got the ones that bend!
nothing like pulling 44t up & down motorway's while perving on the little cuties in their cars oblivious to us up high! its a great job, just the TW@TS in the office that ruin it!
