This week I our house has been a bit of a tip due to major work being done downstairs. Basically the kitchen. It hasn’t had any work done on it since the house was built nearly 30 years ago. Needless to say, it needed an update.
Yes, the photos blurred. It’s purposefully so to save our family’s blushes. It’s horrible tiling, and very old. No wonder I didn’t bring any women home, no self respected woman would ever do the squelchy with a man who has those tiles on display in his house. Anyway, the builders have been and gone this week and this is the new result.
Okay, ignore the shed, the concrete mixer and the bin. They will all be relocated or destroyed in the next few weeks, and imagine a garden outside, and a fence around it. It is rather bright, it’s like coming home to a different house, it feels just so different. Plus I can nose on the neighbours and their development work. It’s ace! What do you think?
Oh, and in other news, I urge all you bloggers or web designers out there in the UK to get this month’s .net Magazine. Not only is it a fascinating read, but it also contains a free £30 voucher for Google Adwords. I’ve always wanted to try it, and it says it’s risk free with no further investment obligation. So it must be worth something, just to try it out (I’ve been wanting to do it for a while on my blog, but not sure how successful it would be). If you are to get it, be careful. The voucher is stuck within the magazine like the CD is (if you get a copy of the magazine you’ll see what I mean) around page 98. I saw the offer in WH Smith’s in Colwyn Bay, and all the mags had no vouchers! I never knew my town was full of Pay Per Click whores!
Anyway, I want you to be my marketing managers. If you were trying to get your mate to read this site, how would you describe it in 10 words?

“No wonder I didn’t bring any women home” how sexist, are you saying every woman’s place is in the kitchen? How dare you.
10 words is not enough to describe such wonder
“do the squelchy” – I shall be the first on my block in California to use that term…
i think “do the squelchy” sounds horrible..is that’s what you’re saying to them, I think that might be the problem, not the house
Okay…looks like I’m going to have to educate you all:

Yes!! Coupling = Awesome. Got all the DVDs and watched them multiple times. Rhys, once again you’ve excelled yourself
Anyway, I have already referred friends here (one’s who don’t know you) and it’s for the superb site design. A few of my mates have either started or considered starting blogs, and I don’t think I’ve come across a more clean, functional and user-friendly design, so whether that’s 10 words or not I dunno. If I were to do what you’re looking for though I’d probably say
“Life-long mate’s humorous slant on life, love and beer”
ew, the squelchie :S
I’ve sent my dad out to buy said magazine! He’ll comeback with horse and pony I know it!
See it depends. If I was on commission and I wanted to get people to come and read this site I would say that there were nudie pics on here etc but as I amnot getting paid to market you and you are just compliment fishing you get nothing!
‘do the squelchy’ I lost my coffee at that one.
I don’t know Rhys, I have always had a thing for grotesque vintage decorative tiling. It has a certain absurdity, a sense of nostalgia. The dorm apartment a friend just moved out of had the trashiest, falling apart-est bathroom, but damn did I love it for some inexplicable reason!
The new window *is* ace though, very cute.
maybe target the crowd with your beer money blogging articles? thats catchy
