1) I like that wallpaper.

2) I am now wondering if I could make it myself.

Has anyone noticed that just simple, low grade wood costs a fortune these days? You end up having to pay a fortune just to carry out a simple bodge.

No, it isn't.

Strait, as in narrow, navigable channel of water that connects two larger navigable bodies of water.

(edit: for clarity, it is a nautical metaphor, many ports are protected from the gales of the ocean by a narrow channel, the home strait. ).

That wasn't the typo I spotted.

Edit: I went off to find the post etc:

But lemonjelly bolded the thing he thought was a spelling mistake.

Besides, that would have made a worse joke:D

@ LIR: sorry, I posted that to the wrong thread. I was referring to http://news.archiexpo.com/press/fromental/hand-painted-silk-motif-wallpaper-fromental-68800-161520.html and being a little bit sarcastic about making it myself

I'm in a sarcastic kind of mood today... because I should be writing :eek:

I was bored today so I wrote a song. It's a bit cr*p, but I hope you like it...

[FONT=&quot]Papa knows you're all going to be upset,
’Cause he has put your world in a mess,
But we should know by now he’s not a baby,
You always taught him right from wrong,
”Join the Euro, you’ll be strong”,
But in his heart of hearts,
He doesn’t want slaying

The debts you warned him all about,
The help they thought they could do without,
They’re in an awful mess,
And I don't mean maybe
Please! ...........

Papandreou don't preach,
You’re in trouble deep,
Papandreou don't preach,
Europe’s been losing sleep,
But you’ve made up your mind,
To have a referendum
Ooh, ooh to have a referendum ooh

He thought “Germany will marry me”,
”And we can raise a eurozone family”,
Greece is now alight
Chinese savings a sacrifice!................

But his people say to give it up,
Sayin we’re too young,
We want to live it up,
What they need right now is some good advice,
Please!..............

Papandreou don't preach,
You’re in trouble deep,
Papandreou don't preach,
The world’s been losing sleep,
But he’s made up his mind,
To dump the referendum
Ooh, ooh ditch the referendum ooh!

Merkel, Sarko they want you to see,
How good it is to retire at fifty three,
They want your blessing right now,
So give them a shove,
Yes give them a shove,
So please!..........

Papandreou don't preach,
You’re in trouble deep,
Papandreou don't preach,
Shape shifting lizards are now losing sleep,
But you’ve made up your mind,
You’re keeping the euro,
Ooh, ooh you’re gonna keep the euro ooh[/FONT]

There's a huge and serious accident on the M5, J23-26. Up to 25 vehicles and they're on fire. Deaths expected.

I mentioned it as it's in Dave's neck of the woods.
