By the way, you had me in tears with your fixed flat earth responses of late.
Hey maybe I'm on to something... a fixed flat earth...That's it!;
A FLAT EARTH THAT IS FIXED IN SPACE!!
That's the answer we have been looking for!
My God, think of the possibilities?

For me too. Te decorating is looming. :DQuote:

I'd take a picture of Auckland at the moment and post it, but all you need to do to replicate the effect is get a blue screen with a large yellow dot in the middle.
Not a cloud over the entire country today.
Paradise, I tell ya, this place is!
I have to tell you that we have been blessed with a balmy 14-16c yesterday and today! The shorts have gone on - not to be taken off in casual mode until mid October when it starts to get a bit chilly again.Quote:

Lovely. :D
Do you think the Mrs. would consider loaning you out; My kitchen hasn't been painted since theQuote:

Try wallpapering at ours! Not a single verticle surface or 90 degree corner in any room. The old house has "settled" over the last century or so. The poor chap who came to measure up for some new windows got quite flummoxed, no two openings were the same -or square- or straight.
I'm sloshed beyond belief. I can't still type, which is a testament to why computer engineers can never grow out of their damned keyboards. Arghh!
Does that mean you have drunk yourself out of religious conviction, or are you just completely pissed? :DQuote:

We did have that problem with our lounge doorways. We got a local waster - who was quite handy when he put his mind to things - to do them for us. Unfotunately he didn't put his mind to them and went on a bender, but not before he'd demolished said door frames in a vain attempt to fit the door in.Quote:

When we wanted to get a new carpet for the lounge, I tried to lift it, and we found that the previous owners hd built their crap fireplace over it! Idiots. I had to cut round the hearth.
Their ineptitude was clearly only matched by my own. I discovered a new thing today - cable trunking. I'm going to keep on using it to seem DIY plausible. :D
No problem mate,Quote:

Whoever invented that expanding foam is a true DIY savior. Just put said ill fitting window/door frame into gap. Get the wife to hold it steady. Squirt the foam around the edges. Go and have a cup of tea. After half an hour tell her she can let go. Simples!
Ive even used it instead of plaster of paris to set a sheep's broken leg.
Sounds: If its owt like our Kitchen the origanal colour will be lost in the mists of grime.
Tell the wife to take her shortest shorts; you're moving to Miami to blot out the ugly dark colors the first Mr Sounds left behind...yes, that awful, goldy yellow in the kitchen with a bit of left over wall paper paste where the dropped ceiling used to be.Quote:

Oh go, don't tell me about the foam. One of the locals told me he could fill in a small crack between my a/c and the outer wall with the stuff. He sprayed this nasty yellow slime around the unit. It hardend to look like a respiratory icu unit during an influenza outbreak:ack2:Quote:

You can fast-track that by setting meat to boil and leaving the house for a few hours.Quote:

Sounds
I'm not sure. A rasp will do it, but it might be like using a shotgun on a pigeon.
Both Mr Sounds were from the north; and all of the colors they chose for the house were somewhere between snot, mucous and phlegm:smilewinkgrin:;Quote:

That must have been awful. I had a hot grease fire in my house when I first bought it; ruined the only room in the house that wasn't condemed:rofl:Quote:

It is a little touchy down here; most of our walls are plasterboard. One wrong move and you travel from the kitchen to the laundry room. A neighbor said you can use full stregnth joy dish detergent; but it was the same neighbor who did three layers of floor tile:rolleyes:Quote:

I can't help noticing that Pingu the penquin is the most intelligent thing on telly in the mornings since the Election was called.
Pingu??!?!???Quote:

Quite funny, this TV business - the kids just asked if they could watch it for a little while.Quote:

TV is officially dead, can't say I'm sorry.
Pingu would be a masterpiece in comparison.
I caught him a couple of days ago while flicking channels, earlyish one morning. As I said, vastly superior to owt else that was on.- He invented snow tubing behind a skidoo! The little scamp.
puts on fake mustach... and slips in back door...
pingu the penguin? on Tv? There goes my getting online to download him. :D
This stuff is pretty thick, so if I papered it would be bumpy. I was really considering painting though. I come from the old school of taking everything down before starting again. A few weeks ago, I took my 10 year old car that I love and only has 44,000 miles to a paint shop for a quote. The sides are still bright, except for the one that is smashed in. The top surfaces are losing their paint from the Florida sun. He asked if I wanted it restored; I said I wanted him to take it down and give me a factory job...He looked at me like I was mad. Said it would cost 4-5,000 dollars and the car is'nt worth that much. He didn't get the idea that my car is like my kid, you don't send it away when it gets a few bumps and abrasions:confused5:Quote:

Now's my chance!
Mrs Atheist turns 40 today, which is far too old for a woman, so I'm off to swap her for 2 x 20 year olds.
:hurray::cheers2:
Good luck with that!! I'd keep the bird in hand!!!! happy 40 to the missus!Quote:

I don' know about the twenty year olds though.
In her twenties a woman is like America - young and exciting.
In her thirties she is like Africa - hot and exotic.
In her forties she is like Europe - sophisticated and worldly wise.
in her fifties she is like Asia - mysterious and exotic.
In her sixties she is like Australia - everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.
(Thanks to Kenny Everett)
I think I'll use that from now on instead of getting all hot under the collar and having my blood pressure go up: "So why doesn't your company have the supplies before the patient... NAWK:rage:Quote:
