El cheapo paint brushes

My great grandmother used to describe this as someone who "works with his head", basically meaning white collar as opposed to blue collar. What she would make of computers and 23yr old financial traders in red braces and Porsches I have no idea.

Indeed. That's all before the opportunity factors are taken into account, whereupon the discussion is several orders of magnitude different.

You live your life how you choose.

Emotion.

It would depend. If you can wash the brushes out under the tap then I always do it. Having to get out a solvent and finding a container means I sometimes don't bother.

Not sure how many of those there are left (and there are going to be a lot fewer in the next couple of months). They were mostly FX Spot traders and the Euro took most of their business away. Besides, I don't go on the Trading Floor much any more.

Half the fun of IKEA is taking the non-standard route! Look around and there are shortcuts galore through doors they don't want you to use. Entering through the till area to get to the shelving at the end of their 'route' usually saves time and means that Management doesn't see to much to take her interest and so prevents damage to the credit card.

And railway stations at weekends when sprogs travel free with Scotrail's Family Fundays. Family F***ups the tickets are called by staff as the punters seem incapable of understanding that a family of weans will not get through the automatic ticket gates on one swipe of the ticket.

Having got them all to go through the wide gate then they'll realise that the shop is on the outside so they'll all have to go through again to stock up on High Caffeine Irn Bru and hula-hoops[1], and then one of the little sprogs will start wetting itself and they all have to be got through the gates again to be sent over to the loos on plat 3.

And they trample crushed hula-hoops on my nicely polished terazzo.

Tesco have moved their value noodls from the noodles and rice department to the bottom shelf of the pot noodle section. It's taken me months to find them, as I don't usually patronise the pot noodle section.

Well, floggable. Let's maintain some sense of proportion.

Ginsters don't seem to have a recommended temperature

At this time of year about 2 degrees is the temperature of the average dustbin.

Bloody hell - that's a bit exhorbitant... you should try Toolstation where they're only 11p a pop:

Made me laugh! :)

Nah. Its great at IKEA. Loads of fit women to perve, cool gadgets & stuff in the market place, cheapest castors on the planet & great hot dogs!

Is you dissin Ginsters innit? A very pleasant pasty IMO. Nice sausage rolls as well.

I'd sooner do a good job, which is why I turn down 80% of the decorating jobs that come in & suggest a professional decorator instead. I do stuff decorators would consider too small.

For example; painting two ceilings in a 3 story town house, lady did the walls herself but didn't have a suitable ladder, sanding down & applying woodstain to 5 window sills, painting the wooden fascia above a garage door, slapping a coat of magnolia over a bedroom wall, painting the tiles above a bay window etc.

I make it clear I'm a handyman not a decorator. There lies my market place.

No good for vegetarians though.

Vegetarians don't deserve to enjoy food. Attention seekers IMO.

The fit women, possibly, the rest of it I can leave.

I can't think of anything much more dreadful to eat than either of those types of product regardless of the brand,
