We got a guy to buy it (the brother of a current SPFL Manager). The police were hiding outside the offy in an unmarked Hillman Imp. When they collared him he shoved the copper and ran away. He was much faster than his brother, we were all frozen to the spot and dutifully gave our details. A visit followed the next day. No formal sanction was administered and I was left without a stain on my character. the police have come down to the known drinking spot near where I live a couple of times but everyone used the same details and the police couldnt follow it up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Going to be doing some painting in the flat this weekend/early next week so i went into my nearest Dulux store to enquire about taking a few paint charts with me and then the very helpful gentleman in the store was kind enough to recommend the Dulux visualise app that can be downloaded and you can select your desired paint colour and then use your phone camera and point it at the wall and then it shows you what that colour would like like painted on the wall. Very cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I said he was fast. You said one was faster than the other. I assume one is, not sure who I’d have my money on though. I’ll also take Billy Brown and Jim Duffy in “guess the manager” sweepstake. I’ve no idea if either even have brothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just seen a fat man walking the streets in a tight Spiderman costume, almost tripping over the flapping advertising board running down his front from a multi-national pizza delivery firm. Is this the marketing of the future that I'm witnessing with my near burned out eyes?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. I’d suggest you get something like a Johnstones trade paint. Less splash and mess etc. You can still get a dulux colour. Eg, sonewhere like The Paint Shed will do you a dulux range colour but in a better quality paint and probably cost less too. And get a decent roller from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulux paint is shit and overpriced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
