You mean rotten, like an old shed, no thanks!! They didn't tell me this before I bought it, every 12 weeks with £150 a tin of varnish, not to mention how am I gonna get to the top of the house to do it. Shockingly the jobs now on hold, they wasn't happy. Wood panelling on the outside of a house? In the 21st Century? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually contemporary, well in fashion, depends where you live I guess, if it's Yorkshire, it'll just be on ya posh cowshed. Anyway, might go UPVC cladding now, less hassle.

Milfner Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) 6 Music's current daytime presenters are temporarily Laverne, Nemone, Hawkins, Lamacq and it's probably the best line up they'll have before Craig bastard Charles and Mary Ann Hobbs return it to normality next week.

Seat68 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 You go on social media and someone calls out a sourced, evidenced argument and doesn't back it up with a counter argument that has evidence or a source. Or they have a hot take that's based on "apparently" or "I heard". Its frustrating. I get a lot of that on my social media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding "official" to that is a pro move to demonstrate just how serious your point is. Works for the NYT etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stuart_75 Posted March 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just flogged a load of Ceder cladding that we had knocking about in the warehouse for years. Didn't think anyone would be mad enough to buy it because the stuff is crap. Basically rots in front of your eyes once the rain hits it. The look on the guy's face when I told him the price of the varnish to stop it from turning to mush was a picture. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
