For those who might want to get into automating their homes, Samsung is having a 20% July 4th sale on their Smart things home automation stuff. If you register you also get an additional 10% off making 30% off.

Just a thought.

So just in case anyone else has interest, I've been playing with the Samsung SmartThings and Apple HomeKit for a week now. The stuff doesn't cost too much but I will admit that it's the future.

I played with X10 years back and I'm just blown away with what's possible now.

Interesting.

You know, I'll never figure out why a German or Italian will migrate to UK but anyways.

Let me put it this way Sir:

English is the "language of business" world over.
Only two countries, speak English "naturally", within the E.U or Europe in general but even at that, only the U.K has English as its "mother tongue" (Ireland speaks Irish language (Gaelic) but use English as official language).

Most companies which are global, will situate their HQ in U.K for language purposes ...or in Ireland for "language and tax purposes" (Ireland has 12.5% corporate tax, lowest in Europe).

So, a lot of "E.U citizens" go to live in the U.K for "some time" (especially the East Europeans) to learn the language "first hand", at the fastest pace.
British citizens also live and work in E.U countries for the "cheap cost" of living, job opportunities (since they stand out from the crowd, being English speaking).
It is a mutually beneficial arrangement.


The whole Brexit agenda is predicated on racism, first against black immigrants, second against non-native (White British) by some lazy, arrogant "English" who "live on fear" because they lack self-confidence.
They have this fear of others (They will take our jobs, when infact the jobs are always there but you cant do it! Thats why l call them lazy!).

But the devil is in the details:
*They have voted to leave.... yet all of the "leave leaders" are running away from "activating leaving"! grin grin

*Cameron does not want to invoke article 51, which triggers the "leave officially" process. He would rather leave it for the next british P.M to do! shocked shocked
*Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson (who led the leave campaign) are both running away from becoming the next British P.M! grin grin

*They are already begging the E.U to allow them access to the E.U market while the E.U says: leave officially first, before even attempting to have any discussion with us.

*They know that the leave vote was not in the interest of the "British economy and the British people" but at times, hatred, especially "racial hatred", can make people "cut-off their nose, ... just to spite their face". undecided undecided

*The GBP fell toits lowest in 30yrs, afew hours after the vote. It is gradually recovering though.

*As of today, they are looking for a "legal loophole" to let them repudiate that Vote!

*Even Scotland has said it does not want to be part of a U.K that leaves the E.U! It is just waiting for the U.K to trigger article 51 officially, for it to launch another referendum to break-off from the U.K and be part of the E.U (Dont forget, one of the arguments for Scotland to remain a part of the U.K during the Scottish referendum, was that the E.U would not accept them into the union, if they break-away!)

*Then there is the Northern Ireland (Belfast) problem: Those ones too are saying well, if you break away, we too will break-away and re-unite with our Southern folks in the Republic (South) of Ireland.

*Now, Britain has to speak as one 'little country' (its even no longer a major military power! grin ) amongst the strong E.U giant!
*America will rather sign a trade/military agreement with the E.U (27 countries and counting!), than with a single country that is the U.K.

Its a long story but take this from me TODAY: Britain would do ANYTHING to not leave the E.U.
Dont be surprised if a second referendum was activated (They say the percentage of the first one is "not wide enough" grin grin ) to "re-vote" to leave... and they will vote to remain.

True but spot the diff live and work as against live and dont work in the Uk and claim benefits plus free house .

This argument is lame (no insult intended).
You know why?

1.) there are British citizens who live in the U.K on benefit, from the U.K govt

2.) There are U.K citizens who live in other E.U countries, not working and getting the same benefit that some U.K folks are shouting about, from their "Host E.U Country".

I mean, there are as much British citizens who live ON BENEFIT in the other 27 E.U countries (combined), as there are E.U citizens who live in the U.K.
so, it cancels out.

Again, U.K has access to the 27-nation E.U "free market", tax free.

My son sells things on Ebay and he said once U.K is out of the E.U. that means those things would become costlier as the buyer (in an E.U country) has to now pay Import tax (25%) to buy those things from his own online store.
That means they would buy it from other competing E.U sellers where they wont have to pay such tax and their product will then be bought cheaper!

...and this is just a single example.

Trust me, l saw this coming and that is why l got the E.U passport for my own kids, even when they have the Britico one.

Remember that in Nigeria, some years back, we pounced on the Ghananians (Ghana must go!) claiming they are taking our jobs, blaming them for the insecurity, e.t.c?

I did not want to derv deep into it hence my one liner
to fully understand Brexit you need to interact with it i different folds
It was the Working class and the Old that actually voted OUT.
It may affect your Son in one way but me in a diff way
Im sure the whole country cannot be silly to vote out.
The issue had more to do with welfare,Housing and Education
The population is expanding 2 much ,they the UK can control from outside the EU but not within the EU
People took the Psssss, out of the system imagine some EU guys brings in 10 kids from Romania, claims benefit from all 10 then returns 9 back to Romania, keeps the big council house and rents it out, and your daughter who is 21 can not get housing
The Employers used them as low wage bargaining chips
check this, would you leave Nigeria to come and collect benefit of £70 a week in the UK?
As for Ebay trading, we already pay such as if your market base was China or US there would be nothing new
The Home office is set to make money from this.
If Im British, why would i want to go and live on benefit in France,Spain,Germany or Holland??I would definitely be worse off.
Im trying not go go dep as there is a page for that already, but like I said B4, Wales and England voted OUT, so they aint silly.

I just can't believe what's happening in the USA, the Dallas thing was absolutely unbelievable to me. I have couple of friends that are no longer carrying concealed for the time being just to be safe.

My Wife has never been pulled over before in her 3 years here and I pray that she does everything to the letter as I showed her if she gets pulled over.

They interviewed an honest farmer here in California on why he employs so many Mexicans. He simply told them that no American wants to work on the farms all day picking produce anymore.

I dont think you got the gist of my post at all?

Let me summarise: Everything the U.K gives other E.U citizens, or does for the E.U or E.U laws it obeys, or BENEFITS its citizens or it as a country give/gets from the E.U, is APPLICABLE to ALL other E.U member states.


You want to benefit from the "enlarged free market", yet you dont want the people who make-up that market?
You want to benefit from the cheap labor (at least that is what employers tell me), yet you dont want to see the cheap labor people?
You want to be able to travel free across Europe, yet you want to padlock your own border?

You cant "pick and chose" which one you want to obey or get. [b]its called GREED!

But the GREED is fuelled by hate for others. SIMPLE[/b]

IMO, l think as a first step, the amount of guns in circulation needs to be reduced.
If everyone in Nigeria is allowed to carry a gun, l think many people would have been dead by now..... just because of minor arguments.

How is it that even someone on a "No Fly List" is able to buy a gun, How come?

But l understand that the IRA and the Repubs wont ever allow any constraint on gun ownership.

An old client showed me a type of roller she brought from her travel that can give wall paper like patterns.
I found it fascinating and did research about it.
I've attached some pictures.
Perhaps it's common abroad, but this is the first time of coming across such.
It would be more durable than wallpapers and very cheap in cost.

Cheaper alternative to wallpapers but not really as nice. I've used this before.

You really don't want to use this in area you want to get a WOW or accent walls.

https://www.nairaland.com/1793643/nexthome-project-gallery/2#38404413

Maybe I can use this in commercial builds (kitchen, baths, hallway, inside wardrobes especially framed ones) but definitely not something I'll consider in living areas.

I agree, l think it will be good for the Hallways or where you have long, vacant walls like a Veranda.
But then, it also depends on the colour-combination you use and if the pattern suits.

I think it can be made "nice", with the right artistic vision.

I should be through with the burglary design by the end of this week.

I've been so busy working on an all-steel spiral staircase to be finished with marble slabs and a steel deck. Sometimes, we just need to explore the alternatives and I'm happy to tell you that the lightweight steel roof trusses is a complete success. The whole aim of the design are fully achieved. (Flat roof, non-visible roof, and water must not touch the ground).

As for the pattern-roller, I'd prefer the real thing (a wallpaper) and not the look-alikes. What put me off is the fact that you can't apply a second coat without creating shadows or leaving paint trails. And when it's overly used, it becomes boring.

Maybe I can use this in commercial builds (kitchen, baths, hallway, inside wardrobes especially framed ones) but definitely not something I'll consider in living areas.
I've seen that you already know about it since last year.
Could the type of paint used be the cause. Metallic gold, aluminum and silver colours could be used to create the impression too with matte background.

Sure you can play around with colours especially when you have the creative juices flowing in you BUT I believe some DIY jobs should only be left for Backyard Projects. For now and for me, patterned/textured rollers is one of such.

I don't think it's the paint that caused the fall out. I think it's more about the comfort I derive from clean walls.

I want my walls to speak and not shout. Maybe some day, I'll find a better use for the rollers though.

Nobody get monolopy of insults and yabis. I just hope agbá will learn to behave like agbá while ómodè go learn to respect themselves.

@hajj Mufutau, RESPECT sir.

It does not matter where you live so long as you are happy. Dangote lives in Nigeria wey all of us dey run comot from. Just make the best of the opportunities as they present themselves.

As long as you are not cheating and stealing it's OK.

My own humble contribution.
