With Mrs T it'd be the wrong shade of white! :wtf:

So I'm getting back into it. Decided the faux paneling has soem gaps, so i'll caulk them. The paint has shown up a few things I missed, so i'll also fill them. I say to the wife I'll give all the doors a second coat then i'll sand back what I've just done and get a coat of white on there. So she says will you have time for all that as we're going to our daughters at 1 o'clock. :hmmm: She'll probably moan later that the decorating is taking ages! :?

When the pros did our walls (2005 build house BTW, so not exactly crooked with holes everywhere!) they did some prep, painted everything with a white(ish) base coat and then one 'top colour', then did a bunch more prep and then painted again. I know that's the good way to do cars as well, the first coat shows up the 'fine' prep work needed much better.

Looks great now...except when small children leave grubby hand prints. :think:

That's exactly the sort of thing I could not be arsed to do. :D

No, it is actualy plant pie, but that doesn't sound as good. No steak pie will fool some idiots and those with poor reading skills.

Quite a bit more pithy* than "plant based textured protein pie that tastes a bit like Steak" though right?

*perhaps literally

Whisper it quietly but...

I used to like a Quorn stir fry. It's not vegan 'cos it's got eggs in though. But 'vegans' these days are people who don't eat meat on Tuesdays, like a bit of fish, will eat eggs, wear leather shoes and drink cow's milk.

But it doesn't taste anything like steak, I bought one by mistake and it was mushroom pie. Mushrooms make me puke.

Maybe it's not trading standards who are asleep ;)

Coulda been worse, at least it wasn't a "Protein" Snickers. There's some saliva I'll never get back.
