Switzerland v Ukraine (calling Erik)

I find the double layer 'crackle type' finish as on the rocker covers of old sports cars to be rather entertaining.

Emulsion & acrylic are a little to fast for me, far better is the old fashioned oil based liquid gloss.

I think something just happened......was that a throw in?

Mark

Dunno, was listening to my hi fi.........

Quite right,too.

I thought only England were that unprapared to take penalties...

Is it safe to turn the TV on yet?

I've got all the windows open this time so no fumes to bother me. Im not sure about the oil based gloss thing as it is very difficult to see that it has dried whereas matt emulsion dries visibily, albeit quickly, I feel that the best strategy would be to paint one wall then watch it dry and then paint another wall and watch that dry and this should occupy anyone profitably for 90 mins.

What a game - some thrilling midfield play and no offsides - and the penalities were like a Laurel and Hardy film: Swiss Miss.

Them is a bunch of wussies, all talk and no action.

9 liter of latex for finishing about 90 square meter of hall(a kind of white called 'cabbage heart'). Next weekend the wall of the staircase(two layers of salad green acrylate). The surface is glassfiber paper - or what is it called again.

I didn't watch it dry so maybe hm , that doesn't count. Oh well.

Hi ROTF, as you can see I got in touch with my friends of the vegetable kingdom(nudge nudge, wink wink).

To really appreciate the drying patterns it is best not to sit face on to the wall but to view from quite close at angles and shift the angle from time to time.

Totally unwatchable.

Fell asleep after 5 minutes, woke up later, started watching the game again, fell asleep again.

Erik, these people seem to be close enough to the paint. Is this a good approach?

Crikey, they seem to have got way too near the stuff. They remind me of certain stone age tribes in the Amazon. If you get so near the paint that it rubs off on your face the fumes are likely to make you rant incoherently, jump up down and see things that are not really there like talent in the english team for example. Always remember to ventilate the room well.

I'm off the paint tonight, Erik.

Spain v France was back on form again.

Mark

Mark,

It was cracking game. I only hope that England can show something like the French jump in form.

Nic

Those who start slowly, Nic, those who start slowly......................usually go out when they meet the first decent team!

Still we can but hope!

Mark

Mark,

Worryingly Brazil have not exactly been flying out of the blocks, despite their results. Sometimes I wonder if their reputation beats teams mentally, before kick off.

Nic

A bit like England's you mean, Nic?

Mark,

Let us wait and see, but I've got a good feeling about Saturday.

Not sure I can cope with these non-football days, I've got used to gorging myself on a no-stop diet. I suppose there is always Wimbledon. Bye Tim.

I know what you mean about the football free nights. My turntable is in for a service so there's no music in the house. I actually had to talk to the missus this evening!

Luckily I was rescued by a great programme (on channel 5 believe it or not) about the archaeological dig at Pompeii and Herculaneum. Great stuff!

Still, I hope your good feeling is right. I'm not so sure and fear the curse of Scolari.

That and because we're rubbish as well!

IMO as someone who optimistically watches all of World Cup games (but was forced to drink Soviet alcohol in last dire Ukraine 2 hours plus) it was/is good for me to have the first 2 days of more without TV World Cup.

My favourite games include the Bra-Jap/2nd Arg/2nd + 4th Fra matches, and most of the African matches/England scoring.

Oz/Spain/Holl/Iv Coast/Ghan could-should have done better.

FIFA are IMO are bunch of bananas, especially Sap Bloater and most of the World cup refereeing-ass. refereeing, which has been as abysmal as some players/teams. Bit like UK Government.
