Riddle me this

[Dirk Diggler]

I'm decorating the front room and need 2 problems solved before I can proceed.

1. Do I paint the skirting/facings first or do I paint the walls first?

2. I have a cake of chocolate and a packet of crisps to get through during lunch. Do I eat the chocolate first, or the crisps?

There's a right way to do things and I'm relying on GD to come up with the goods here.

Interesting, my thinking was skirtings first because if I get paint on them from when I do the walls then it'll wipe off with a cloth. If I get paint on the walls when doing the skirting then it won't wipe off.

Work top down. So ceiling. Then walls. Then skirting. When doing the ceiling and walls I tend to paint the edges and corners first with a brush, go over them with a mini roller to stop the brush marks being seen, then use a big roller in the middle.

Makes sense, especially the little mini roller.

I'd open the crisps and chocolate, place the chocolate in the crisp bag, roller it as flat as possible with the big roller, then munch both at the same time.

I'm close to reporting that to a Mod, you monster.
