Rumours

Have you got an under-stairs cupboard? Squeeze a desk and some fairylights in there and hey presto - you've got a study-cum-grotto.

 

a cum-grotto just sounds so Rolf.

 

I've got a reading room, does that count?

 

All blue and white and in Berkshire?

 

Admittedly I didn't really think that through.

 

Deliberately didnt capitalise to avoid confusion.

 

I'd say a reading room was definitely a study.

Unless it's a library.

 

I used to have a black and white television which had a black vertical line to assist with finding one of 3 channels. Wasn't HD though, although I did have it in a dedicated TV room. TV room also had a bed and a wardrobe.


Think my dad is bigger than your dad though

 

Or a spiritualist church

 

Is there a diferentiating factor? If in a study it is a requirement to study, then it's not one. I mainly read populist s**te. And it's warm in there in winter.

On an unrelated matter, I've only just discovered the like / unlike function on here. I never knew I'd made such popular and unpopular posts. I'm going to go ****ing beserk with it now.

 

I've got a TV room in the East Wing but the bastarding telly won't tune into anything after the fuhrer titted about with the layout of the room.

Pure coincidence she reckons.

Is it balls.

Fine by me, she'll have to watch Champions League football tonight instead of that baking programme or Emmerdale Farm as I shall lay siege to the living room.

 

Frasier Crane " You want me to convert my study? The place where I sit and do my most profound thinking?"

Frasier's dad "Jeez, use the can like everyone else".

Don't know why but our friend always comes to mind when I see a repeat of that episode.

 

I can remember having a TV with only BBC which took 10 minutes to warm up. Then came ITV. Woe betide anyone who undermined the head of the household by getting involved in intricate operations like switching over even if said head of household was in the garden.

 

Lost me completely.

 

my tv is a lg led hd tv, with engineer settings tinkered with to get the best possible picture, so worth it for ****ing hollyoaks and question time...

 

I've got a bathroom with a bog in it.

Also has a second use as a reading room.

 

are you saying you bathe and wash in the same room as where you take a ****? why not have the toilet in thr kitchen

 

chinese whispers is when something is passed along down a string of people and its meaning or text gets changed along the way. the oft-quoted example is when the message "send reinforcements - we're going to advance!" ends up as "send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance!"

your example wasn't chinese whispers. probably more like the grapevine since the original was pretty much intact.
