THE "VERY IDEA" '
HAVE THE FURBISHING DONE BY EDDIE
Eddle. Kelly, Flatter An artist, we are. The headache has had us on the job of re-painting the flat.
Give us a pot of paint and a brush and we go mad.
We've painted the kitchen green and the kitchen furni- ture in pink and brown. If you're feeling a bit sick our kitchen is a good place to stay away from.
You know how it is when you've got a drop of paint left over and it seems a pity to waste
it.
We picked on the hot and cold water tapa. Green paint for the hot water taps and ver- million paint for the cold water taps.
We've just finished re-papering the walls of the sitting-room, too.
We can turn our hands to any- thing from poker to snooker, but must admit that wall-papering

there?"

Refurbishing a home is a task. We are not sure what refurbishing means, but a friend told us that it was a Persian word meaning rub- bing your face with a radish.
The novice should grab the handle of the refurbisher and point it to the object to be refurbished. Gently lead the refurbisher up to the object and then let it loose. Persons under the age catered for in the Children's Column In this issue should not be allowed to par- ticipate.
