US Tapers so far behind Europe

Tim0282

Man, you're talking in circles and making me show my stupidity. Why won't you continue to post??? You can only speculate on what we think and unable to listen to what some of us really think? What? I am not attacking or have no idea what you mean about the kung fu, or kill Bill guy. Again, what???

Tim0282

You have made me mad. I am going to bed. Now I won't be able to go to sleep because you cut me off at the knees! You won't explain your words when I can't understand. Why??? I would like to learn and you won't teach me. What's up with that? Again, why? I didn't do anything to you and I am the most humble man you would ever meet. I would like to know a better method. The boxes are not the best, they are fast and if you "help" them, they are good. But it takes a craftsman to help them do a good job. I learned the business going to work with my Dad doing plaster and moving into drywall in the mid sixties. I'm not the greatest plaster man around but, am capable. I can't do the intricate art work that plaster allows. Was never taught. Too bad. Wish I could learn that, too. Afraid I am getting too old to have the opportnity to learn the trade. Would relish the chance to learn other mthods of drywall. But people are too jealous or something to teach. And you, Raymul, I am not sure what to think. I believe you may know something about drywall that I don't know and you won't tell me either. My loss!! What do you gain beyond telling me how terrible I am and how stupid I am? Then just drop the conversation. I am further confused.

Ha Ha!

Tim, I think that was his intent with this thread, just to ruffle some feathers.

Ray,
sounds like you got the boys a bit upset. I enjoy the entertainment. However I could not leave some things unsaid. (let's forget drywall for a second)
For hundreds of years the Brits have trampled every corner of the earth. In doing so, you have opressed, murdered, enslaved and raped just about every non Caucasian race known to man. By the same token you have civilized the world with your legal and governing traditions. The sad part is, you have become a pale shadow of what you once were. Even your military can't take the heat anymore. You have become the trash bin of liberal idealogy, and soon you will be a Muslim nation. Hats off to Gordon Brown and all your MP's. You've made a mockery of the great Winston Churchill, and that amazing generation that sent tyranny to the ash heap of history.

He has no experience only rayBULL.

Good point, d-rock!! Don't imagine he'll be back for a while. I think you fired a musket shot to the heart!

Let's not forget, just about every modern day conflict is rooted in British stupidity. The partitioning of jeruselum, Persia, the ottoman empire, all have the Brits fingerprints on them. They had some help from Europe in mucking up Africa. And the French get the credit for nam, read French indochina. We pretty much just been cleaning up for them since.....1917. Ask Iceland how well they like the Bank of England right about now.

Don't you mean 1812 ??? They can't drywall any better than they fight,,,,,

TonyM

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Come on boys, play nicely please.

Darren@Partners

Well 1812 was us kicking their ass, again. They got over it by 1917, when we pretty much started having to finish their fights for them.

Damn.....did I just read all that? Glad I've only got to worry about the 14 jobs on my books right now...Guess I'm doing something right. Oh, and one more thing I'm thankful for..............my tools don't talk back to me......Especially in the "Queen's English"...hahaha.

If your so superior you can come here do it faster, better and cheaper; make tonnes of money and fix your teeth.

Lol in based in the UK but Australian so can I be excused lol.
Anyway there are top notch tradesmen on both sides,yes I have seen both sides.

Yes in the UK there is a standard procedure for training but as ANY tradesmen will tell you it's EXPERIENCE that makes you.
I'm sure in the US the training would be very similar anyway regardless of it's source.

Like the UK you will have people who are crap and people who excel.

I'm a painter and decorator in the UK,I do taping and I have all the kit,bazooka etc,am I as good as most of you guys,I doubt it as taping isn't my main job,kinda like if someone says toyou can you paint the walls as well type of thing.
I'll get the same can't see the joins finish,but it'll take me longer than you guys can do it.That only improves with EXPERIENCE.
I'm trained to use ames equipment but like anything else it's constant use and experience that builds speed and quality.

I do think this thread was a wind up though but if not there's my views.

Ray, could you pass the grey-poupon old chap?
