In the RAF we used to use the Q-code QAU....I am about to dump fuel, when we were going to the toilet!

Mine was more so the economic term - To inundate with something!

I could have said to "flood" the market however that would have started us off again!

Its like the other aussie word "Cunder", in parts of this country it means to talk and there was the famous quote from Angela Rippon when she was on the radio and she started back after a record with the comment, "We were just chuntering in the corner"!

This is not a good weekend.

Friday - strip wallpaper from hall, find rotted bannister and replace, start painting at 11pm
Sat - All day painting, even the wife helped and we still took until 10pm last night
today - start papering and hopefully finish it.

I hate decorating

I remember painting a room and the hall with my ex, it was the worst thing I ever did! I should have done it by myself, she did not but complain that i was doing it right! Then she left me to clean the brushes!
