Is it NurkMagiggy?

By NurkMagiggy on Thu 15-May-08 20:41:57

Oh I thought this must be something about B&Q paint being made in sweatshops by barefoot urchins.

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 20:40:06

LOL!!!

By Eve34 on Thu 15-May-08 20:38:56

Surely paint is paint - it goes on the walls and drys, no matter how much you pay for it...........

By OrmIrian on Thu 15-May-08 20:30:13

B&Q had a range of 'Tate' paints a few years ago supposedly based on colours from various tate galleries. So I chose some really gopping colours and made DH paint the dining room bright bright green and the sitting room orange (called Crustacean I think). Looking back I suspect it was truly vile hmm

I thought your thread title was v. funny btw!

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 19:47:31

tis meant to be a joke! Is it really a class choice? - Paint?? sad

By nickytwotimes on Thu 15-May-08 19:27:25

Well, like the true Gaurdian reader that I am, I go for Dulux or Crown - nice middle of the road brands...

By Eve34 on Thu 15-May-08 19:25:42

Not seen the other thread, but agree that expensive clothes are pointless, but each to their own, those that can afford silly prices can gof or it.

so 4 on this thread now, by the why my whole house is painted by B&Q

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 19:20:42

Yay, - 3 people on this thread. Officially not a disaster, - although can't say tis a success either.

Perhaps is due to me not understanding the other thread to such an extent I wasn't even able to make a joke about it blush

!!!

By flubdub on Thu 15-May-08 19:18:38

at you two.

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 19:17:03

Not generally, - but I went camping once, and a 2 yr old was dressed in white and his mum kept shouting at him to keep standing up on the grass as his clothes were expensive hmm

!

He ran around the back of the tent when whe wasn't looking and threw himself on the ground! grin

By southeastastra on Thu 15-May-08 19:09:44

oops they obviously feel strongly about it. can't say i'm bothered what people wear.

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 18:57:30

LOL! Yep good comment!

I am a bit slow though, - only recently found out what crocs were and until recently thought that Next were designer clothes!

My what I learn on MN!!

By southeastastra on Thu 15-May-08 18:54:34

lol had a quick read and liked this comment:

I'd rather mumsnetters wrote about how they could set up clothing companies like the Boden one rather than how frilly dresses look. But there you are.

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 18:04:11

Don't bother, - tis totally boring! Wanted to start an equally boring thread for a joke.....this is is!!!

But, - tis only you and me here sad

!!!

By southeastastra on Thu 15-May-08 18:02:34

oh right, never wear it, so didn't read the thread.

By StarlightMcKenzie on Thu 15-May-08 17:57:43

Nah, - think I should have put farrow and ball in my title! I'm just not understanding the Boden thread at all am I?? blush

By southeastastra on Thu 15-May-08 17:40:05

lol what as opposed to farrow and ball

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
