ok my whinge...
I have just spent all weekend trying to paint my bathroom cabinets with some of that 'paint & grain' paint ... you know the stuff that is supposed to make your old cabinets look like new wooden ones!
Well after many hours work do my cabinets look like new???? NO they look like my old cabinets that someone has tried to paint to look like wood ... :scared:
they certainly don't look like the nice pictures on the side of the tin!!
aarrgghh!!!!!
I should have just bought new ones in the first place rather than trying to save money by 'making over' the old ones - i think i have watched too many of those stupid changing rooms programmes!

As long as they don't make too much noise or intrude onto other people's property, I can't see too many problems! Yeah, ship 'em over and I'll swap you for our chavs!

Your neighbours may have some chav-like characteristics, but I doubt that they are proper chavs.
How much gold jewellery do they wear? How many Vauxhall Corsas do they own? Have you seen them in Burberry and Von Dutch baseball caps and hoodies? Do they parade about in shell suits and white trainers? Do they have several chunky rings on their fingers?
These are the minimum requirements of chavdom.
