Just had a pint with Growler

Also now covered in blue paint!  His fault. At least it's emulsion, not gloss. So it washed off.

Mostly rubschin:

Tell her indoors it's woad and you've come for a bit of rape and pillage ~ she'll soon be pretending to be asleep .....
Or you might get lucky! ;)

I don't come back covered in blue paint when going out for a quiet drink....



Nick...  I think you are definitely doing something wrong.  eeek:


Try pretending you have been run over by a bus and can't remember anything important.

You never know, you might get away with it.   noooo:

I was helping him with some DIY

We were painting some kerbstones on the main road into the village, since you ask

It is a perfectly sensible thing to do if you understand the reasons for it. I don't. I just wielded the paint brush

Why ask? ~ you know it makes sense only in Nickworld ~as do many other things hidden from us mere mortals.
I am beginning to wonder if Nick uses this method of travel.

It was  Growler's painting project, I was only helping him. He attacked a hedge while I painted the pavement. It didn't take long.

Why do I feel it was not exactly a sanctioned public service project?  eeek:

I have a picture of me at Platform 9 3/4 and a video of me running at the wall.  redface:

. . . and why, oh why, are you painting kerbstones blue of all colours? And why with emulsion? First good downpour (which won't be long arriving given the state of global 'warming' at present) and it'll disappear faster than Berek's fish and chips!

I wondered that too, but blue emulsion it was. Will check later to see how it is coming along.

Well, if it's raining there the way it's raining here, all the kerbstones will be kerbstone coloured. Your efforts (and consequent self-colouration) will be for nought!

Growler has just phoned to inform me that it was masonry paint. Washed off me like emulsion though. Gloss is normally more durable.

Could you not find a Mason then? You can normally tell by the handshake or something...  whistle:

Thanks for the reminder of those halcyon days. ::)
For the record, it WAS masonary paint, only Nick in his wisdom  ::) plundered ahead and ended up painting the grass and moss that was hanging over the kerbstones.
I told him we needed to prep the kerbs first, but him being so intelligent like...meaning NO common sense....said it would be ok if we just lashed it on.
I didn't stand a chance, cus he was in such a hurry to get to the ale 'ouse anyawy, so I simply left him to it and attacked a hedge instead.


Anyway, reading this thread again brought a tear to me eye. sad32:

WHERE'S Marleys Ghost gone. We used to pm each other, and he was sound and dead helpful on computerey stuff.
Nice bloke.
