Recycle side board

[Deluks]

I would get it on Marketplace, freecycle is rubbish. I'd be very surprised if someone wouldn't grab it pretty quick

...a don't forget the phrase 'upcycling project'

They are not comparable.

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Agreed, one probably has a dozen people looking at an item, the other has many hundreds.

Paint it in duck egg blue, stick it on Vinted for £1500

Or, give some white paint to a child and thell them to paint it.
Once finished you can sell it to some people in Chelsea for a couple of grand calling it shabby chic...

What's that nonsense you've posted there? Are you a dinosaur too?

What's that nonsense you've posted there?

It's the result of a search for 'marketplace' which you can see full well.

Are you a dinosaur too?

If by "dinosaur" you mean "someone far too intelligent and civilised to use Facebook" then yes.

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Someone far too intelligent to use a far superior medium for buying and selling but just about intelligent enough to Google marketplace.

 

[morqthana]

It has nothing to do with a medium for buying and selling and everything to do with Facebook being one of the societal cancers which sooner or later we will have to excise.

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Yea whatever Grandad, you need to take the rough with the smooth for all the awful content there's a lot of good that comes from it too. But you'll remain ever ignorant.

 

[morqthana]

The good can never, ever, EVER outweigh the bad.

Try floating your theory with the family of 17 year old Darren Hughes who was driven into suicide after being subjected to horrific and threatening Facebook bullying.

Try floating your theory with the family of teenaged Kenneth Weishuhn who was driven into suicide after being bullied and receiving death threats from a Facebook hate group.

Facebook, and all the other social media sites are sewers of bigotry, hate, and lies, and sooner or later will have to be shut down. When that day comes we will wonder what took us so long.

And I say this not because I am a "Grandad", I say it because I AM CIVILISED.

Hi
I have a sideboard to dispose. Charities, local groups ...etc. are not interested.

Two options left:
1. To the tip; which I am against.
2. A creative idea to transform to something of use. Any suggestions?
Or the BBC program can't remember the name.

with a bit of imagination and a decent workshop - you could convert it into some military security

blah blah blah

Best you stop using the internet full stop then Petal.

 

[morqthana]

I presume it is solid hardwood/stained softwood and not particle board.

Mmmm.

Even though it would require the edge moulding to be glued on, I'd not be as certain as that that it wasn't chipboard. With paper-thin veneer.

I guess a key question would be how old is it.

 

[morqthana]

Best you stop using the internet full stop then Petal.

No need - I'm quite happy that I can uphold standards of civilised behaviour in the way I use it.

I'm assuming from your defence of Facebook that you can't.
