Wow. That was astonishing.

Am I the person walking away with money in their pocket or am I dead in this scenario?

I thought I’d reached a point where it’s a toss up between an agonising and undignified death from mesothelioma or a sudden ceiling collapse causing an untimely death by suffocation.

So far all the opinions are from people who are plasterers, they just happen to disagree with each other.

Thanks for the links. Not really too fussed about having it tested if it can just be skimmed over. It’s a very small space - 2.5m x 2.5m - so the total job cost is only around £200.

It does seems to be quite a contentious issue though. I’ve had two more quotes from other plasterers - one who says he doesn’t scrape high points because of the asbestos risk, he normally does 3 coats instead. The other though, similar to @Nef thinking above, says he’s done thousands of artex ceilings and adamant that there’s no risk, quote “there’s only 0.08 asbestos in them ceilings”. This fella says the problem with not scraping the high points is the more layers of plaster required to cover puts a lot of weight on the ceiling.

So it’s 2-1 to the scrapers right now and to be honest I have no idea who’s right.

Thanks for the advice all. Will get some quotes elsewhere and choose the option least likely to cause harm.

Not really DIY because I’m going to pay someone else to do it…but an artex question.

Have a swirly ceiling in the kitchen and had a plasterer come round to give a quote yesterday and he said that the artex is too deep, 3/3.5mm in places, to cover with PVA and then skim plaster over. So he said he’d need to chip off the deeper parts first.

For some reason I had a mind blank and forgot until today about the whole asbestos artex issue. I would think the best approach is to cover without disturbing/breaking it up. Plasterboard then PVA and plaster? Not sure I fancy someone chipping potential asbestos all over the kitchen.

Any experience with this here or thoughts?

Keep our nuts out your fucking mouth.

There’s plenty of things I’ve never directly experienced but I can comprehend they still happened.

Slap truthers is what your people are being called on twitter 😉

If you watch the unedited clip it’s glaringly clear that is was not staged.

Amazes me that we’re so deep in post truth, that literally every event has a group of people who think said event is fake.

Martin Tyler. He always gets the big games and he drives me round the fucking bend! Every match going off on his low volume, mumbled tangents. Barely ever actually commentating on the game. Say some of the players names you bastard!

Oh how I long for a turn commentary off option.

Call me naive, but this spending cap of £20k for travel to away games is a real eye opener for me. I’ve never once thought about a team’s travel costs but I’m mindblown that the usual spending could be around 60k for an away game in the U.K!

Hasn’t he been chairman since 2004?

Lol. I make this quip as a Utd fan so I’m laughing but also crying a little inside.

This Paris second half defensive collapse is making me think Pochettino is going to fit in well at Man Utd.

It wasn’t that the blocking was considered a foul though, it was that he was blocking while in an offside position.

Three sentences!

I assumed this was a snippet so went to the site to read the whole thing.

A tank literally turned and intentionally trampled over a car with a Ukrainian in yesterday.

There seems to be a of a lot of stretching for optimistic narratives going on. Which is understandable given the bleak reality. But I find it hard to fathom how people can latch onto this idea that Russia have miscalculated because they haven’t finished their objective in 2 days. Or that they forgot to bring enough fuel?!

Remember when the ball hit Moutinho’s armpit?

Can’t believe City just got away with that.

each transaction has the carbon emissions of a transatlantic flight

One single transaction? Is that correct?

Can’t believe that guy didn’t get a lifetime ban.

Thank you Anthony Elanga 🥵

So good. Could only be better if LD was in the car with him.

I didn’t mean the ISIS terrorist lad lols. I was wondering what I was missing in the trombone one. But tbf, almost everything turns out to be fake so I yield.

Why so obviously fake?
