[lame plumber]

4 year waiting list for qualified lads I believe!

 

[Dotty]

I want honest answers.

Yay or Nay?

 

[Kyle87]

I say yea to be fair

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Why not, he's a good sport, takes all the banter on board, let him in for a pint or three John.

 

[Leo21]

Nay, the guy might have good banter. But he ain't no plumber, the clues in the title.
next well be letting plumbers merchants in!

 

[Plum Bob 66]

He's going to need counselling and letting down gently..........Lame, you there ?

 

[dancinplumba]

Yay, lots of so called plumbers in ere

 

[Dotty]

I'm one!

 

[dancinplumba]

Oh we know you are ONE John...ONE of a (strange) kind 🙂 )))

 

[Leo21]

No qualifications, no experience and still in people's houses doing work as a plumber. Wrong wrong wrong.

Oh ok then nay, fickle aren't I 🙂

 

[dancinplumba]

We could fast track him ? 🙂

 

[Plum Bob 66]

It's a fair point your making, but without naming names, not so long ago another contributor was allowed into the arms after freely admitting in one of his posts he had no qualifications. To some this could be seen as case of double standards . At the end of the day it's the mods decision.

 

[zeebeedee]

Do we know for certain he aint got any quals? Is he not just massively inexperienced and in need of some guidance. I honestly have no idea as I NEVER read any of the public forums.

 

[Leo21]

Fair point, but someone with hands on experience or trying to learn the "right way" is not a problem.
"And coming soon to a property near you, a chap with no experience training coming to under cut you"

A question that needs t be asked, or else see AP,s avatar.

 

[Plum Bob 66]

I seem to remember him offering up his qauls a while ago, think it was ground working stuff nothing plumbing related related, like you say for all we know he might be pursuing some qauls at the moment. Weren't we all massively inexperienced once ?

 

[lame plumber]

as long as he promises not to start a paint balling thread again, and to go to college and learn a trade, any trade, but do it right .

 

[Plum Bob 66]

I'll be a nimby on this one lol !

Right I'm ranting now.
Yes but you didn't just go out with none, you tried to learn and did training if not go out with someone.
right today I'm going to be a welder, where's that welding forum then.

They are already here, hordes of em

 

[lame plumber]

To be honest, some questions from gsr ticketed folk are just as worrying as those fm sp and if they are in the arms, he should be granted entry, who is going to get hurt, might improve our image to the public at large if he stays in the arms all day as well 🙂

Calm down Leo, you don't want to open that wound up now do you ?

 

[dancinplumba]

Going to now agree with LEO and say nay....Deffo nay

Some of the jobs I come across by so called gsr's is very worrying, carny wait till I get out of it it's depressing me thinking about it. This trade is fooked IMO

True Leo, but this is about joining the arms not the Masons. Either way if Sp is allowed in you have 3 choices; ignore, laugh at or reply. Is it worth getting wound up over ?

 

[Dotty]

And the masons are pretty liberal too.

They let me in!

 

[lame plumber]

I knew it, pinnies at dawn and sit in a circle all night

 

[Leo21]

Fair point, but I have to deal and come up against people with his mind set on a daily basis. I really don't want it in the hallowed arms on my down time.

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Then your decision should be a relatively easy one ?

 

[Dotty]

While quaffing good ale and whisky.

One of the major contributors to the RNLI you know!

 

[Leo21]

Now it's full of muppets who can't even balance on garage roofs

I'll have you know I was balanced perfectly. Seven and a half stone on each leg, I'm on a diet now. :-(

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Pinnies, is that reagional speak for apron Lame ?

 

[dancinplumba]

Wow you're big !!

 

[lame plumber]

yes, but no but, not many folks know what you do in your circle of friends, and ta v much for your donations.

 

[dancinplumba]

yes, but no but, not many folks know what you do in your circle of friends, and ta v much for your donations.

If they employed folk instead of relying on volunteers you would be redundant

 

[lame plumber]

if they employed everyone, the goverment would have to pay up and the rnli would no longer launch as its all to risky and anyhow, there would be more admin than boaty folk

 

[Killy Bing]

You let me in the arms............ In my view in the first 100 posts before i got in i had helped out in a few threads.....supper seems to have simply trolled or had banter to get his posts. His contributions are being the village idiot?

 

[dancinplumba]

That one went right over ya ed fella hahaha

[supper plumb]

iv got alot of time with plumbers no quals as yet BUT im starting collage this year.
all iv done since i left school is the building trade as i didnt see school as a meal ticket for life as a pen pusher so to speak i was more hands on id rather be grafting all week and earning £30 per to make tea sweep and fill skips then sit in class and learn french or R.E P,E ect i built my way up the ladder from tea boy to trainee/making good guy plastering and building.
at the age of 14/15 i was the only lad in my year that had the latest mobele phone 20 B&H and wage packet im dyslexic but where im not as smart in the head im cleaver with my hands.
Im sorry if you dont agree with the life style i wanted in life but thats just me deal with it im a grafter and will work twice as hard as your best man to show im up to the challenge
i learn all that i know from the streets of life......... just dont have the paper work YET saying im a smart arse!!!!!!!

But and i doo mean but im willing to learn from any one willing to show me

 

[Kyle87]

At the end of the day if you look at the criteria for entering the arms it says you need 1 or 2 hundred posts and be a plumber OR TRAINING!!

I had this argument when I wanted in. At the end of the day if people don't like it then that entry criteria needs changing

 

[Kyle87]

I'm no good at posting links on here but it's a post by Dave on 13/07/2009
A thread entitled

The plumbers arms - now open

 

[Leo21]

thanks supper plumb

Simple. You don't appear to have had any training or been taught anything to do with the trade. The fact that you don't know how to solder brass to brass or where to put ptfe on a fitting proves to me you shouldn't be let loose as a plumber in a house of an unsuspecting customer.
I've got no problem with newbies to the trade, but go the right route, work with someone who can teach you and/ or get training. Don't just put yourself out there and learn in customers houses, it's not fair on them and it's just not right.

 

[Leo21]

See post 61.

 

[zeebeedee]

I've got to this I'm finding this all somewhat of a witch hunt and rather like bullying. What's so special about this place anyway? There is more discussion on plumbing in the public forums than there is here. This place has more posts on complete rubbish than plumbing posts.

 

[Dotty]

Don't just put yourself out there and learn in customers houses, it's not fair on them and it's just not right.

There was a time, and it's really not too long ago, that was the only way you could learn.

 

[Leo21]

I really don't want it to come across as a witch hunt, and to be honest supper seems like a good laugh. It's just something I feel strongly about, imagine him working for a relative of yours?
Our trade is seen in disrepute to often to encourage behaviour like this. I have to stand next to guys like this in my suppliers and quote against them or put there work right after theyve got the cream of the job.
Im going to back out now and not say anymore on it, I've said my piece and you all know my feelings on it.

 

[supper plumb]

right guys looks like i made a mistake asking to get into the plumbers arms....
seems people just dont agree that im able to carry out any plumbing tasks Just like to say a big thanks to all the guys that stood by me on here....
right im off then you can remove me from the arms or my account just seems to be more haters so to speak then people willing to help....
thanks agen guys its been a right bash maybe your right i mite just stick to what i know (not plumbing right)

BYE peeps oow and leo21 next time your hitting sothing with a hammer dont hit your thumb karma is a pig like that

I don't hate you! Like I've said go about it the right way, there are guys in here that are learning and working with gsr,s and plumbers. Doing it the right way. I have ultimate respect for them and Im sure they'll make great tradesman.
Do it right and your fine by me and I'd invite you in any time.

 

[lame plumber]

ooh dont go, just get yourself into college and have some spelling lessons, dyxlexia is blamed for everything nowadays and half the time it's just poor teaching thats the isue, too many kids in a class etc etc. Took me ages to understand the written word, especially as I read from right to left when i started (not joking peeps) a good teacher spoted my issues and it all got better thereafter, and I was the trouble maker in class, always being beaten by some sadistic ****, and they wonder why we turn out the way we do! I still cant write clearly, bit like a spider in ink, hence my love of the computer and clear letters🙂

Is that the real "isue" then Lame?

 

[Destroyer2813]

So your still a trouble macker just in this class now

 

[tamz]

There was a time, and it's really not too long ago, that was the only way you could learn.

Aye but you had someone standing behind you ready to dish out a size 10 when you made a mistake

When doing gas jobs with my gas man I won't get the size 10......

I get the look if disappointment....

It's so much worse!!
I'd love a size 10 up the backside instead lol

Prime example of the right way.

 

[Resolute]

Personally I think this thread should've been deleted before SP was allowed in as its caused more aggro then it was worth!

Leo21 has made some good points but equally so have others (especially as most of the talk in here is banter).

As SP has been allowed in I suggest that he's allowed to remain but his posts should be monitored.

SP - my only advice is to listen to the guys on here as they'll help you loads and will probably get you out of a few sticky situations. Also, if you find yourself doing something that you've never been shown before then just ask and someone will put you straight.

 

[SimonG]

If this was last nights highlight, I'm glad I was in the 'real' pub 🙂 🙂

 

[Dotty]

If the thread had been deleted it would've only been reposted. Again, and again, and again.

Sometimes it's best to let things run their course as long as there's nothing truly offensive and no matter how disappointing you find the attitudes in it.

I hope to see SP back in because he does have a good attitude. I've spoken to him a few times in PM because of my experiences with a very dyslexic friend and believe he's the real deal there.

yes, he's gone arse about face with his training but as described in the first paragraph in the 'Arms Access' post -

"The Plumbers Arms is an area that you're only allowed to view if you've been granted access (given the key to let yourself in, yes we're that friendly in this pub). To gain access you HAVE to be a professional plumber, or one going through their training process."

You will probably also note the bit about suppliers not being allowed in.

I set the ball rolling last year to admit Ray and believe now that that was the best thing for the forum. Ray only supplies trade and, understandably, is reluctant to discuss prices out in the open. Ray is a regular and some say humorous (!!!) poster. Richard from ********* is in a similar vein. I'd consider him too.

As I've said before with trainees. Cut the guy some slack. He could very well surprise us all.

And go easy with the dyslexia thing.

 

[Ray Stafford]

It would be a funny old world if people didn't have different views.

It would be a completely sh ite world if they weren't allowed to express them.

We're all grown up here. To be honest, there is much worse dished out in any workplace.

 

[Leo21]

I didn't mean for it to be a witch hunt, and as I said a good laugh. But I can't not say what I think. With some guidance could be a good tradesman, BUT arse about face way of doing it. And I can't condone it. As for Ray, well accidents happen.

 

[Leo21]

Forgot to add, as you may have noticed I'm no professer myself.

Too bad she only soldered half a joint. She'll bugger that up when wants to solder the other side of the fitting......

Why did I spot that.......
Why wasn't I just watching boobs!!
