You may recall a shining knight...
I am now the not so proud owner of this...
It has three bedrooms, dining room, lounge, kitchen, bathroom, conservatory, garage garden etc etc...
It also has this bloody monstrocity adorning the lounge and dining room walls.
Well it did have until I turned with a lump hammer...
Current plans are to build a stud wall in that opening and fit a singled half glazed door to seperate the dining and front rooms.
Replaster the front room and dining room walls and ceiling and fit a new fire.
There is a very shoddy arch seperating the dining room and kitchen...
This will be reduced massivly but still left in place to give seperation between the kitchen and dining area - Leaving it in because it sort of forms the end to the kitchen units but it'll be squared off.
Decorate the whole house.

I'm just trying to imagine what was used as a template to form that arch :shock:

I am not sure. You have no chance.

Better make them wide doorways then

BTW, I thoroughly resent that comment VN. It is quite possible that I will be visiting the big smoke soon and I know where you work.
Fair point. The absence of a lot of moaning and whingeing about the lack of minions to make him tea or shortage of Ginger nuts suggests that he didn't even make it out of bed. A four letter noun is all he could muster up today.
There's plenty of Ginger nuts up here, he can have 'em.
I was avoiding the daily thread to let Fluffer think he'd killed another thread. I thought everyone else was doing the same it was so quiet.

You're assuming they used one.
You're far too clever for us.

Given the advance warning, by time you arrive London will look a bit like those intro scenes in '28 Days Later' once news gets around.
Worth taking my bike and having a peaceful pedal around London then.
Talking of which - the burd doing the slasher job to the carpet - any nork pics? Not her mum though, thank you very much.
Piña: if you head darn sarf, are you sure you won't explode in a puff of flames and Gallovidian? I once knew a girl from Cwmbran - the minute she went further than Cardiff she used to go into violent trembles and start weeping.....

And the other lady is my mum, not hers.
I hope not anyway as 6 years in the dirt after being subjected to an 800 degree blast have been suprisingly kind on her.
In order to avoid complicated HMRC type import/export taxes on the bicycle, would an IOU suffice?

A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away. I fitted desks at weekends at Laing and Cruickshank, Barclays and a few other venues in the City and at the Goldman Sachs building when it was being built, for a company called SBF furnishings. Sometimes the jobs spilled over on a Monday and we got to meet all the lovely stock brokers. :roll:
My sister and brother lived there for a while. I'm familiarish with:
Ilford, Seven Kings, Wandstead, Clapham Northside, Wandsworth, Hampton Hill and Kentish Town. Spent quite some time convalescing and wandering around. Of course some people would mention a few of those places by 'Middlesex' or 'Essex' but I can't see where one part ends and the other starts.
Even lived at the Hammersmith Hospital for 8 months. East Acton is luvvly innit to look at out of the window. My ex lived in a flat above the Swan pub in Hammersmith, she worked at the Dove on the Thames. I used to visit her there when they let me out. She stayed in Woodford Green for a few months too with a rich and very paranoid family of the Tottenham persuasion: the house had triple locks on everything and was alarmed to the hilt. Nice enough people but permanently suffering from anxiety and nervous disorders.
Years later, as a stop gap, I used to deliver stuff to the smoke for a bathroom company from Wembley to Croydon. so I know it well enough; unpleasant, unfriendly, hostile, drab, chock-a-block with cars, expensive.
Norf road circular, lovely. Heafrow, lovely. Cherstsey, lovely, M4 junction/flyover at Hammersmith, lovely, Hanger Lane Junction, Lovely...
"London, you know - Cup of tea, fish and chips, Mary f*cking Poppins".
You can stuff your bloody London. I know plenty of good souls down there but 'stressed' is the word that comes to mind.
Not to mention eye wateringly expensive.

Or am I being sarcastic in asking? :?
Well spotted that (educated) man.
"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
— Samuel Johnson
Boswell and Johnson were discussing whether or not Boswell's affection for London would wear thin should he choose to live there, as opposed to the zest he felt on his occasional visits. (Boswell lived in Scotland, and visited only periodically.
Hence my comparison to Pinno and Stevo.
