My brother is a painter & decorator
so everything I need doing gets done by him in exchange for food, beer and a the odd bit of babysitting.

Alt: Wondering if I can sneak off to the bathroom and finish reading Mark Kermode's 'The Good, The Bad & The Multiplex' without anyone noticing, as I only have about 50 pages to go.

Oddly, I only got round to starting it because

I love the way Kermode goes off-topic on a mega-rant frequently
