Thanks guys. I can always rely on you TC and Wannabe to make me giggle so it's not ALL bad
*please lord let me come back as a pigeon, gowan, gowan, gowan*
That's not on Kwak!
I know you've been waiting to be given a new home 'cos of the demolition of your old place so I have to agree that as they are the ones enforcing you to move, the house should have been in a clean and habitable condition!!!
And I have to say, the company the council use in my area are bloody crap at any kind of decorating. Cheap and nasty and downright lazy in my opinion!
There should be more giggle-makers on this planet!
After witnessing that seagull's performance the other week at West Bay, I reckon you should ask to be a gull, Kwak! Time it right and you can bomb at least 4 people and a glass ;o)
Di none of the houses that I was offered were fit (by my standards) to move straight into, ALL except the first house, needed decorating. Seems a lot of council tenants like the colours black, purple and dark green, or lime green. Now I know it's pretty depressing living on benefits/low wages but jeez!!
I guess I've been spoiled cos when I was married to a sailor we lived in married quarters and you'd get fined for any damage and if you painted in gawdy colours you'd be charged for redecorating. Every quarter had to be handed back in a decent state, I wish the council could enforce the same rules.
Ooo a gull!! I like the sound of that Wannabe, much more splat area to be had, good thinking
Kwak why don't you hold a decorating party at yours? We could all lend a hand in your hour of need :o), you supply the paint etc we eat you out of house and home sorta thing lol.
I'm sure there are enough BM members reasonably close to you who can spare a few hours on a sat/sun to get it sorted out. :o)
There's a gorgeous house near here, simply named "The Red House", which was commissioned by William Morris and designed by himself and his friend Phillip Webb (architect - I think if memory serves me right - this was his first project "proper")...
They did the interior exactly like HR's suggesting... invited friends round and having decorating parties... Of course, William Morris' mates were all part of the Arts & Crafts movement, so I daresay you might not get *quite* such an effect, but what the hey? ;o)
their budget!, at a £1,000 of MY money, I think they can darn well do the job properly and gloss the bleepin woodwork (there isn't much of it) AND get rid of the graffiti by re-doing the botch job.
Oo I could crush a grape!
Oh FFS!
It seemed that booking a WHOLE day's holiday today was too much for my boss to handle... So like the bleedin' mug that I am, I agreed to work until lunchtimem, so as not to inconvenience the poor little soul.
But OH NO... HE wants to leave at lunchtime.
So he's beggared off, leaving me sat here twiddling my bleedin' thumbs when I SHOULD be headed off to a rally.
Any of you lot out there who employ people... treat 'em with a bit of freakin' respect, yeah? You'll get it back in shedloads, instead of ending up employing resentful lazy b'stards, doing the least they can get away with.
/exits rant mode.
/enters lazy, resentful b'stard mode.
I'm not - I'm a tw*t and I love it!
(That's what I like to believe anyway - shame my team just laugh when I tell them the same.)
Oh - and Wannabe - get back to work yer lazy mare!
