Atlanta Braves took it over after the Olympics and played there until they moved to a new stadium at the start of this season. It has now been redeveloped for college football. I find it amazing that college football is so big. The stadium doesn't open until Jeremy Kyle is finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Debbie Harry Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Currently decorating a customers living room, walls been stripped ready for plasterer, woodwork getting painted, brand new stove and hearth, fresh carpet going down, rooms gonna look great once finished right?Except....the utterly rancid anaglypta that's been on the ceiling since the 80's is being retained, despite my recommendation to do the whole job properly all at once (getting ceiling stripped then skimmed etc).They're spending all this money on other aspects yet leaving the ceiling which ruins the whole fucking job.There's a common saying for this scenario.Something something for the sake of some other fucking something or other.Losing the heed at not being able to remember this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right ball park but not the saying I had in mind(or not as the case may be). As Ghandi used to say: Dont put skanky anaglypta on your ceiling, Mrs Gupta. I think theres a lesson in there for all of us. Plus, painting the woodwork before skimming the walls? The lesson I've learned is do not become a painter and decorator, rancid profession.Fear not, won't be lifting a brush before place is ready for me. Ceiling, walls then wood as it's aye been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Debbie Harry Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Penny wise, pound foolish? Afraid not. I could be about 12 words long. It's something like... Don't ruin the tra la la la la's, for the sake of the tra la la la las. The tra la las indicate the words i don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
