Absolutely. I love Bulgaria. Got a bit of land down near the Turkish border.

Edit: all remains were there already officer.

When you’re woken from your slumber early on a Saturday morning to the sound of your landing ceiling removing itself and chucking itself down the stairs in some sort of dramatic ā€œI told you having a new roof fitted would loosen my plasterā€ gesture.

Fuck me that’s not plaster! It’s Wattle & Daub.

I guess you’d know wattle and daub, @lifeintheslowlane .

I think I’ll get TimeTeam in to fix it.

It’s an old house but even so, I was surprised at how thick the plaster was.

It made so much mess and the dust went everywhere.

We’ve got a new breakfast van on the estate at work, since the last one got shut down for salmonellas(!). It’s the Fawlty Towers of hot food service industry. Couple of Asian lads. I wanted a breakfast, my mate wanted a cheese & onion toastie.

Vendor: Cheese & onion toastie… how do you make that?

Bear: It’s a cheese and onion sandwich,

Vendor: Yes

Bear: But toasted.

He give me dumb look like a dog.

Bear: *sigh*. Use your own judgement.

I watched him for a minute at his work. First job was to get a tin of beans from the fridge, and spoon some straight into a breakfast box. Don’t cook them or nothing. I couldn’t watch. I told him to bring it down when it’s done.

Food arrived. Breakfast was ok, depending how you feel about undercooked sausage and cold beans. I couldn’t quite understand why there was a portion of chicken curry in there amongst the egg & mushrooms & whatnot, but it wasn’t unwelcome.

My mates cheese & onion toastie was unusual too. Would you normally fry the onions? I wouldn’t. I dunno if I would be putting sliced burger cheese in there either. I would prob have fkn grated something.

Jeremy fucking Kyle. His show is largely more lowbrow than Jerry Springer, almost exclusively featuring a succession of tracksuited sink estate stereotypes, guilty of anything from serial philandering to theft to wife beating, and sometimes all of the above.

The show employs lie detector and DNA tests, depending on the offence and whether it was blessed with new life.

It is almost pure poverty porn, ostensibly aimed at ā€œmiddle classā€ snobs that want all their suspicions confirmed, or fellow members of the underclass that presumably take comfort from the fact that there are bigger cunts than them out there.

Of course, the thing I hate most about Jeremy Kyle is that the show seems to do legitimate remedial work with its guests, achieving stuff like stopping violent partners from abusing, which means you can’t entirely hate it. Fuck you, Kyle.

Jeez slowly - you can’t be given out wrong DIY info to ignoramous 's like Bletch - that there is Lathe and plaster and typically comes down when there is a gradual change in temp/ humidity as caused by new roof/ insulation. In effect the new micro climate tends to cause the joists to contract or expand a bit thus loosening the lathes. Given the plaster wa soften an inch thick and fricken heavy, ceilings are particularly prone… and not god when you are asleep underneath … best bet is bring the lot down down and go plaster board but this tends to mean expensive new cornicing as well - I know as I have about 100m2 of ceilings like this to sort…

Shhhhh! You know that and I know that…

The Wattle & Daub reference was an effort to get Bletch stirring up a mixture of steaming cow-pat and pig’s urine to patch up the hole. I’ve been looking for an online link to some fetid recipe for the ancient ceiling poltice. If you can find it post it up here…I doubt if he’s tried to patch it yet. :lou_lol:
