Became a rural taxi-driver. That happened to us straight out of university. Substitute rural taxi driver for traveling the world on engineering projects and getting shot at. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gedward Posted April 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2021 Back in the 80s, poster shops were chock full of airbrush art. Now thought of as either crass or vintage. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold checkrail Posted April 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2021 Well, 'charlie' is slang for cocaine, 'horse' for heroin, so maybe airbrushing does things I've yet to discover. I suppose it would be ok for a high gloss finish. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted April 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2021 That’s when I discovered you had to varnish the chipboard before you mounted the poster on it with wallpaper paste! Ah, those well filled fishnet tights! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe move it left a bit to the end of the building, but would probably mess up the roof base. Whatever, all looking very good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2021 I was going to suggest Encome Town as a first choice, but now consider the previous answer to be much more specific and yet generic, accurate whilst being ambiguous, and terminal and at the same time open ended. Hussah!! 1 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Strictly speaking neither of you are correct. It is the viaduct or the station. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
