Tell you what I can't stand...swirly Artex. I don't mind the slightly
stippled look - where the bumps aren't pointy and not more than about
2mm high, but fan-shaped comb-work and so on is utterly abhorrent.

I've got fans *over* wavy.

'Scuse me - I've just got to run and be sick.

I've got fans *over* wavy. And some of the worst polystyrene coving I've
ever seen.

Wavy was fashionable in the 1930s. I don't like it but wouldn't condemn it
for others. I can't stand radishes but each to his own.

Anyone tried Lining a ceiling on they're own?

I've never had a problem with it (apart from a bit of neck/back ache,
but I seem to get that doing just about anything these days).

Funny, that, I always feel sick when I look at a ceiling. That means, of
course, that Spouse has to do it ...

What's yours Mary?

Depends what I'm eating or the occasion.

Otherwise, good champagne, good single malt (Ardbeg my favourite), Guinness,
artisan beers, Armagnac ... but we rarely drink alcohol socially. A bottle
of wine with our evening meal, sometimes a dry sherry while cooking it ...

In summer we do get through a lot of bubbly outdoors. Any excuse to
celebrate is grasped :-)

Liqueurs only when I make them myself - bullace (home grown) gin is the
latest. Commercial ones remind me of the cough mixture we used to have. When
we had coughs. Our systems are so pickled now that bacteria don't stand a
chance, that's why the Grim Reaper is trying the big guns.

Mary.

The Grim Reaper obviously doesn't know what he's letting himself in
for. :-)

For some reason he wants me, he's made enough attempts but to date I've
managed to stare him out.

Good for you! I wouldn't be seen dead with anyone displaying such
abysmal dress sense.

Oh. I thought you meant prawns and that it was a witty reference to chess
.... It would have been applauded :-)
