Lesson 1.
It's as strong as whatever you stick it to. Don't stick it to wallpaper. You great wassock.

Lesson 2. No more nails is about as much use as a chocolate hairdryer anyway.

I'd find a use for a chocolate hairdryer.

but - and this is probably the crucial point
- it wouldn't be drying your hair, would it?
(loutre I've said too much, been too unkind, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:28, archived)

No.
You got me there.

It's a phyrric victory.
to be honest.

Yes, I imagine they'd be very tasty once you took the wires out!

just make sure the plug isn't hanging out your mouth
when the TV license man comes round.

You see, that's what I thought
because the glue could only be as strong as the wallpaper supporting it, but my missus flew a flid and insisted that it worked fine and so I relented. Kinda hate being proved right like this, though.

Yes.
your lesson there is drill, rawlplugs and screws. Them "handy andy" threaded rawlplugs are pretty effective in shite plaster, I find.

Also, get rid of the wallpaper anyway. It always looks shite no matter how expensive or tasteful it is.

This.
Paint wins, and it's cheaper and easier.

I'm getting around to that
I've only lived here for seven years and, because the house has been here for 102 years, I figure that removing layers of wallpaper is only going to reveal some other nightmare that I'd rather not know about.
