One of the Joys of being English is that the rest of the world wants to communicate with you in your own language and that can sometimes result in some amusing mistakes on public notices and signs. 1) A sign in Germany's Black Forest: IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN THAT PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT SEX, FOR INSTANCE MEN AND WOMEN, LIVE TOGETHER IN ONE TENT UNLESS THEY ARE MARRIED WITH EACH OTHER FOR THIS PURPOSE. 2) Cocktail lounge, Norway: LADIES ARE REQUESTED NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BAR 3) Advertisement for donkey rides, Thailand: WOULD YOU LIKE TO RIDE ON YOUR OWN ASS? 4) Hotel, Yugoslavia: THE FLATTENING OF UNDERWEAR WITH PLEASURE IS THE JOB OF THE CHAMBERMAID 5) At a Budapest zoo: PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS.

[lace-chat] Vinly Wallpaper Problem
Yet again I call upon the resources of y'all. We are preparing to sell my Mother's house and there is a large yellow rectangle on the grey vinyl wallhanging where a picture used to be. We've tried water with Ivory liquid, Clorox, Murphy's Oil soap and combinations of the above. It is dimmer, but still it remains and one can easily tell there was a picture there before. Anyone have any ideas about how we could remove it (short of removing the wallpaper :) ) ?

Why not just buy a cheap picture/poster of the same size and cover it? Then the new owners will have the problem, and they're probably going to strip the wallpaper anyway.

We're 10 years old today - can you believe it?! -Liz H A P P YB I R T H D A Y to all of us. !! It's hard to believe I've been part of it for nine of those years. We now have four times the members that we had when I joined. It's impossible to list all the lacing information that I've gained through this group. I still have memories of the Arachne 98 conference in Nottingham. It was really special to me -- probably a chance in a lifetime. I tell my husband that my membership in Arachne is all his fault, so he's responsible for all the things I've done with it. When we got on the internet, he demanded that I sit down and type something into the Search. I typed Bobbin Laceand you can guess the rest of the story. Not only did it lead me to Nottingham, but also to the Lace Museum workshops twice, a Regional meeting in North Carolina, many exchanges of lace and bobbins around the world, and a great many new friends. Many, many people answered my questions, so I try to give back some of that good will by helping newbies. Long Live the Lace List Let's all give it a toast!
