Yay! The bastard-wallpaper-from-hell is finally off the bedroom wall. Back in the mists of time when psychadelics were readily and enthusiastically available someone stuck lining paper to the walls with ICI's latest and greatest uber paste and then proceeded to paint it bright yellow, with thick, waterproof, solvent-based paint (probably coloured with lead oxide, but then the layer underneath is arsenic green - yummy).
This formed a thoroughly waterproof layer which has resisted all of our (well, mostly
evil_c's) attempts to strip it off. Fortunately one of B&Q's new range of Klingon-inspired big-sticks-with-blades-attached wallpaper knives has finally beaten the hideous stuff.
And now, pizza.
