I remember when I brought the painter round for the quote, I was dreading it but he just went "Yeah, no worries, we'll cover that and it wont come back through - no problem"

Cue massive sign or relief

We got pretty lucky to be honest - there wasn't any serious damage to the floorboards and they dried pretty quickly. the Airing cupboard was a disaster zone when the tank and handwear was removed to I painted it, put laminate flooring down and converted it into a storage place for vacuums, brushes ...

I feel your pain DJ...

We moved out of our main family home so I could do some house doctoring before it was sold (We rented for a while). I was travelling over 4 or 5 nights a week after work and painting, decorating, sorting the garden etc.

We then went on our Summer Holiday and when I returned ...

A House through Time

If you don't know the format, David Olusoga hosts and each series features one house and looks at the lives of the people who lived there over 200 or 300 years.

This series is about a 5 story building on Calton Hill in Edinburgh split into 2 separate houses - the bottom 2 ...

So, tail between their legs then...

No surprise really, given everything they tried in the US failed. I predict Megan will give it a year and then go back to the states alone.

I wonder if this is a sign that the king really isn't that well???

More a general observation

Powerful and profound. It's one to strap yourself in for, it's quite heavy emotionally, the acting is phenomenal, and the story is great. It's an excellent film, but you need be in the mood for it.


Watched it this evening and even now, an hour after it finished, I am still somewhat ...

What if his robot mower mows???

Technically Jobbo isn’t mowing…

OK Gotcha...

The whole situation, after the initial court date, sucks...

Is there any grounds to re-open the split of liability of legal costs ?? IIRC you have to pay yours, them theirs...

They can keep appealing if they want but if they loose, they must pay your fees ??

Something to try to discourage them

oh for fucks sake...

How many "Final Steps" will the UK legal system put you through...
