I'm out of paint.
Why can't I buy paint on a Sunday evening? Fucking stupid trading hours. I'll swap you tonic for paint.

I always run out of paint when the shops are closed
what colour do you need?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 19:36, Reply)

White
matt white emulsion for the walls and white satin for the woodwork. If I go to B&Q tomorrow though I might be tempted by the garish, seductive colours on display and my hall may end up some bold, whorish shade of red.

That'll match the bold whorish shade of red on my new house's floor
The bedroom carpet to be precise. Your whorish walls and my whorish carpet should meet up at some point.

do they have to pay each other,
or would there be some kind of mates' rates?

I'm guessing that it would be a "for profit" venture
With the resulting DVD cluttering up many a 15 year old lad's bedroom.

Can't help you there, I only have magnolia, green, purple, pink, red and magenta
I vote red for the hallway.

Trouble is,
I have a red wall in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and in the stove alcove.

I am currently tempted by grey: Quartz Flint 2, which seems a geologically redundant name for a paint.

The Dulux paint page is a bizarrely interesting way to spend time online.

I once had an awesome nail varnish called Anthraxite
It was slate coloured and I loved it dearly until I spilt it over my GCSE certificates.

When I was
deciding on colours for the front room I couldn't have the colour I really wanted as I would have had to buy something called 'expresso'.

Do you think it's right to phone customer service and shout "it's eSpresso you shits"?

I had that problem last year.
And I did say something.

And what did they say?
Or did they just look at you funny?

The "why would you give a shit" glare was duly given

In fairness
any person who is 'customer facing' can do naff all about anything like that.
