I see you're still up

Do you know where I can get some good news about laminate flooring from china ?

Geee, these chinese are everywhere

Sorry Only just noticed this post. I've been browsing through some of the old threads with my EMail closed. This one had me in stitches.

Let me see, Good news about Laminate flooring from china. Can't say as I could.
That would come under Woodworking/Carpentry or would that be Building, No, silly me, it would be General Flooring/Stairs, although it could be used as part of another project so could be "Your Projects". If they're that good perhaps they could become quite a talking point so you could look to see if there's anything under General Chat.

Is this type of blatant advertising allowed? It does look like nice flooring though. I've not seen bamboo laminate before.

No, that why it's deleted.

The one post I still laugh,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a friend of mine at work had me in stitches with his leylandi story.
his was a neighbour from hell and not approachable at all.
my friend had a row of six of these things 30 ft high blocking light etc.
one night he crept down the garden and carefully drilled a hole in the base of each tree ,down which he poured patio cleaning acid! he made good the hole in the tree and went to bed.
3 days later the trees turned brown.the neighbour had them cut down before they fell down.he never found out what happened.
not a recommended course of action but effective and satisfying.

Reminds me of a prank I did as a kid, that involved a rather explosive mixture and a small length of iron pipe.

Went a hell of a lot better than I expected and brought down a fairly sizeable tree. (I was only expecting a loud bang). Scared the sh*t out of me. Was petrefied for months afterwards that I was gonna get my collar felt. Never touched the stuff since.

Had a similar experience with a plastic 1 litre drinks bottle some very hot water and a big chunk of Dry-Ice, Boy did it go!!! ears were ringing for hours afterwards never did find the bottle

Have you tried the matchbox bomb? Didn't know I had so many concerned neighbours.


Oh and they can't half send a 4lb hammer high into the air.

First detention I ever got at secondary school was due to an improvised match bomb. My mates dared me to light it in the park but we were a bit scared with too many people around.

Then just before registration one morning at school I decided to light it under my desk. Set fire to the brand new carpet (less than a week old) and scorched the underside of the desk. Form tutor comes in, saw the room was full of smoke and started to blame another boy. Being the honourable chap I am I stood up and admitted to it, but told the teacher "I just lit one match. They are really smokey ones, I bought them from a gipsy." Seemed like a good excuse at the time!

1 hour's detention, quite light punishment I think! Probably helped that I had always been good before then.

My favourite was the lobbing of a huge lump of ****** from the back of the chemi lab to an even huger fish tank at the front. That involved another 10K lines, LOTS of broken windows and a fierce display of pyrotechnics......WOW!

And the moral of the story:
Don't buy your matches from Gypsies, they're really smokey, er right? . Their heather is cr*p as well, no colour in it!

They do a lovely job of laying tarmac drives though. Nice and lightweight so it doesn't destroy the plantlife lying below.

Gypsies, I say Gypsies ???

Travellers my friend, Travellers !

Allegedly, they were the people who used to stop my mate and ask him to sell them the compressor he was towing ... He did work for Brit gas at the time ! allegedly !

Nah, different things actually! I can't remember what the distinction is, but they hate each other. I mean, 2x4s and knuckledusters hate each other. One variety have actually settled in Addlestone, bought land and built houses and stuff.

I've had plenty of hastle from the other variety of them in my parents' town.

Yes, it was *** ***.

didn't even see that one!

Software must be total c*ck-juice not to be able to recognise a geniune word, albeit one with

in it!
