    Apart from walking the dog twice a day and another commitment for 90 mins on Friday evenings, my time is my own. This is unprecedented in the pondiverse as the only time I ever get to myself is working and/or away working.

    So what should I do?

    Get a catering size box of pot noodles in.
    Dust off the PS3 and learn how to play video games.
    Tidy up/laundry/potter.
    Build something/bloke projects.
    Put the pooch in kennels and fook off somewhere.
    Paint the lounge cos I hate the wallpaper.

    I need ideas people.

    Drug related suggestions are fine, hooker related ones not so much.

    Ta muchley.

    Why are you getting the takeaways delivered to the kitchen?

    under achiever, wrap the list round some sausages feed to Dog.

    spend rest of the week watching underwear models or cute gymnasts with large guns. You are allowed to wimp out occasionally and watch Godfather, Blade or Predator, clothing optional and vegetables probably not needed.

    Until the mid-1980s, the Artex coating was made with white asbestos to strengthen it. This means that only old Artex manufactured by Artex Ltd. will contain asbestos and most probably any Artex applied after 1990 will not contain any harmful material whatsoever. It is also worth noting that the texture is only harmful when in a powder form, i.e., being sanded, and poses no risk whatsoever while it is undisturbed on ceilings or walls and covered with emulsion paint.
