Oh shit yeah!

Not sure if I ever posted that here. This is Judy and Gnasher (Not sure about their real names).

We found them by a skip one night on the way to the pub. We took her in for a drink and she was the bell of the ball. Been hanging in the office ever since.

That’s amazing. I’ve seen some right corkers of portraits working in people houses. One in particular was a Hockney inspired Diana but imagine it being more than a bit garish and evoking revulsion or laughter.

My 6 year old is learning at school and I’m using piano practice as a way to learn myself for free. Loving it so far. Wheels On The Bus never sounded so Elton.

Haha! Found a stuffed toy on the beach in Brighton once, Ted the Workman. Homeboy had a hammer, hair on his chest and a decent tough-guy-who-does-real-work-with-his-hands outfit, he looked pretty ill. We drank a bottle of whisky on the beach chilling with him then took him back to London, then I brought him home with me and he’s been part of the family for about 20 years now. He’s enjoying his retirement in the Alps.

Wtf? I don’t know who was more confused - the panel or the guy pitching $500 Trackers with invisible Sky Hooks.

D’you reckon he had many head bongos back in the ‘70’s?

To quote Ray Simmons, ‘’ he doesn’t know what’s goin’ on…he cracked his head on a frontside’’. :joy:

Can confirm Flashback is the place to sell. Came out with £100 for the first bag. Some pretty good stuff in there but nothing I’ll miss. Turns out a fairly shit Murs LP was one of the better ones price wise.

Does anyone know the origins of the 3cm border that Europeans paint on their ceilings? This was in the Netherlands too - they paint 3cm down from the top of the ceiling down the wall. Defies any and all logic to me

(Yes I am in hotel ATM)

Is that the width of masking tape?

It’s one of those loony EU rules I reckon.

Is it not to make the ceiling seem higher?

I wonder if it’s sort of like coving to make the join between the wall and ceiling look neater.

But surely the paint being offset 3cm actually brings attention to the join from ceiling to wall. This is what I can’t compute. Why not just paint every plane its own colour and not have the complexity of a 3cm border

Those continentals, eh? :roll_eyes:

I suppose if you paint the line straight then it might work. But yeah thank heavens for Brexit so we aren’t having to do this too.

Looking to buy a portable Bluetooth speaker.
Any recommendations? Minirig? JBL?
