Just tell him you don't know what you're talking about....LOL...

Sounds like an old house to me, most are made with brick, never heard of anyone painting it to be honest with you.

Try the link above to get a feel for the look I’m thinking of.

Crap!

Here’s a Google pic search. At a quick glance I’d say the third pic along from the left is kind of what I’m thinking of doing.

(Hope the search shuffles the same)

is it popular in the UK to have this made of drywall or moulding? Because in the US this is normally brick or other stone and is hardly ever painted.

Mine is stone with a brick base, and I've never even thought of painting it.

It does vary depending on the age of the property; mine is a mid 50s build and the walls are all smooth plastered.

Edit, including the chimney breast which is about 1.5 mtrs wide.

Interesting, revealing and sobering documentary currently showing on Amazon Prime in the UK.

Watch out America … a prequel to civil war caused by Trump.

Perhaps he just needs more time, may not be up to bantering sessions and still in the grieving process.

Thoughtful comment Rusty.

Thanks

What the fiddles is a chimney breast?

Ask Rusty to Googler it for you.

I’m thinking of painting the chimney breast in my lounge in a contrast colour. The walls are pale in Dulux Nutmeg White and I’m thinking Oxford Blue for the chimney breast.

Colour suggestions?

The GF is a much duller place without FMF. Very much missed.

I miss his silly but fun threads which often opened up all sorts of conversations and banter.

I’ve been trying to convince him to come back, but to no avail thus far.

“Pestering questions”

When religionists get asked questions they don’t want to answer.

@kellyjay said
Dive attacks individuals pestering them with questions and even when they give him responses countering what he is saying, he persists never changing his message, this guy is a liar and here he is claiming another is dishonest. Sadly, someone so deluded attacks others for what he does regularly.

But it wasn’t me, it was Ghost of a Duke doing the “pestering” KellyJay.

Do try to keep up.

May I ask what you think about this sort of dishonest behaviour by Galveston75 @mchill?

@mchill said
May I ask what this has to with spirituality?

Sure, thanks for asking mchill.

Galveston75 is a Jehovah’s Witness who has been posting (off and on) in this forum for as long as I have. Maybe 15 years or more. Like other religionists he is deeply embedded in the corporate group think and spiritual superiority of his particular cult, which tries to present itself as “God’s sole voice of truth on Earth”.

Part of the culture of the JWs is to present themselves as being holier and more morally upstanding than other cults/sects which they see as being outside of God’s elect. In fact within thier own doctrine they assert that only 144,000 of them will reach the pinnacle of being in heaven with God himself, with the rest of them remaining on earth to do stuff down here.

Anyway, I’ve noticed over the years, and not just with Galveston75 (Galvo or G-man to other JWs here), that when he finds himself either in an intellectual pinch or is simply tired of the various exchanges which he gets himself into, that he makes up an excuse to duck out. This is usually accompanied by a flurry of “others will say I’m ducking out” comments as he presents his excuse to leave.

This time is was “I’m off to visit family for a few days so I can’t respond for a while”. As though there is no internet or cell signal where his family live. This of course is a part truth and a part lie. He had no intention of returning after a “few days” and used the family visit as an ripcord in disguise to get out with pride intact.

I find this sort of dishonest behaviour very interesting especially when it comes from “God’s sole voice of truth on Earth”.

I hope that makes sense and satisfies your curiosity.

Edit: example and reference here in a thread where Ghost of a Duke had Galveston75 in a pinch over JW founder’s claims about the nature of Jesus. Ghost had been chasing him down over this across several threads and Galveston75 needed an “out”.

I've only had the one account ever ask RUSS! You've claimed in the past to be friends with him. I don't use an alias as I am not afraid to say what I have to say under my own handle, unlike others who feel the need to have multiple handles.

Lol, what! How would Russ know if you had other accounts.

I’ve never claimed to be friends with Russ.

What are multiple “handles”?
