    Going for a dump or dumping has a very different overtone to the one you suggest! In fact it is not used in polite society over here.

    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!:cry_smile:

    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!

    Walls? Pah wimp.

    Last year I spent three days painting the kitchen ceiling. Low ceiling, not large surface area, simple - it should have taken two, maybe three hours to slap some white paint on.

    But oh no - the swines had previously painted it with Artex! Bloody awful stuff - knackers your brushes as you keep having to stab the crevices to get decent coverage :frusty::frusty:

    And now try a Victorian house, rooms about 11foot high, big rooms at that. All skirting boards that need to be cut in, as do the window frames. Horsehair plaster that falls off if you so much as look at it funny.
    THEN you undertsand what decorating is. and yes mum is buying paint and looking at paper again. I understand the bathroom is going to be painted cream with a warm choklity colour on one wall. Shes been watching DIY SOS.

    You're all a bunch of weak willed painters! Mind you, it helps to have a father-in-law who is a master painter! Hee hee.
