TLP CANVAS, by bullet on Jan 29, 2008 2:06:26 GMT 1, The London Police canvas. PM me with offers. Favourite piece / wont let it go lightly.
Signed, dated, doodled, hand drawn, b&w signed on front as well, 50cm x 50cm with proof of receipt to chas.
There is also a 3-5 month process to get one of these - if you can get hold of chas that is.
Piece is mint and crystal clear - these are phone images

TLP CANVAS, by bullet on Jan 29, 2008 11:04:00 GMT 1, bit of a strange subject on an art forum but sod it..
yeah, i cant get it. I work full time and the only time stuff would be churning out electricity would be in the evening and maybe overnight and at weekends and surely this time is off peak?? How the hell do these companies sleep at night.
I know that they discovered 2 meters in my flat which i am confused about, i cant get why the had not told me that before. Hopefully they have not read both meters as that means one of them has been running and not spotted for ages (probably before i moved in) Im going to ring them later, but i know what the answer will be as all the figures add up on the bill. All i can do is raise a dispute and get them to check the meter to make sure its not faulty.
pissed me right off last night i felt like sitting in the dark all night.

TLP CANVAS, by bullet on Jan 29, 2008 16:36:20 GMT 1, ***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***
hehe
The nice northern lady on the end of the phone at EDF said it was strange that my usage had gone up 4 times what it normally is so there must be a mistake (Well Duh).
They worked out that some of the usage may have been over estimated (Well Duh) on previous statements and the previous people that owned the property had been under-estimated. I don't know what that means for me but all i know is the bill will be alot less than ยฃ841.82. It may not be much less, in which case the canvas will still be for sale but i will let those of you who are interested know.
If there is one lesson in Life - Always question your utility bills as they are always wrong. Its a gamble though as sometimes they may charge you more...but i dont think you can go wrong if your bill is near ยฃ1k.
How can they estimate stuff, its like going into Sainsburys and finding the ยฃ10.99 steak actually only costs ยฃ1 at the till as they over estimated. 'oops, yes sorry sir, we did not realise it was only ยฃ1' I love it when that happens, but how do they get away with it...

TLP CANVAS, by bullet on Jan 29, 2008 16:48:25 GMT 1, oh yeah, sorry got sidetracked...
Gardening tips... Prenting WEEDs
Stopping weed from coming up in the first place will save you a lot of work (or in this case getting no work done).
Paths and paving If you donโt mind using weed, then path weed will prevent weed coming up between the cracks and through gravel for several weeks at a time. Otherwise fill the cracks with cement, or hand weed using an old kitchen fork.
Weed-proof membranes Lay below a mulch such as gravel or bark. The best type is woven polypropylene as this lets water through. To plant, just cut the fabric.
Using weed To save time and hard work, weed is the answer for anyone who doesnโt mind using chemicals.
* Read the manufacturerโs instructions to be sure you are using the right weedfor the job. * Keep weed off plants that you want to keep. * Dissolve/dilute the weed according to instructions on the packaging and apply weed using a fine rose (sprinkler head) on a watering can which you only use for weed. * Donโt apply on a windy day because weed can drift onto other plants. * The most effective time to apply weed is when weeds are leafy and growing actively, mid-spring to early summer is ideal. * Keep weed in a safe place, out of reach from children and pets. When empty, dispose of them carefully. Not all weeds will die so repeat applications may be needed.

If you also use direct debit not only do you get a discount, but you can choose if you want to raise or lower your monthly payments!
