Don't let owning a 70s look fireplace trigger you, backspurt. Embrace it.

The lady doth protest too much!

I figured out what you're problem is. You see 70's fireplaces on the internet without realizing that the pics you seeing are ppl who have refaced and resurfaced their 70's fireplace you know........ to look like mine.

The aesthetic and color of my fireplace is the opposite of the 70's. That's just a simple fact. That you should be able to decern even if you are colorblind !

I haven't looked up 70s fires on the internet, skiddy. I don't need to. I was alive in the 1970s and I saw them with my own eyes. As MalmoMike said: "backlit fake coal fires". There is no coal. It's just a lamp with some plastic that is shaped and coloured to look like coal.

Let me make it simple for you.

Anyway skiddy, put up the make and model of your fire so we can check if it's a genuine retro or not.

OK. I've found the make and model.

Allen + Roth 26-in Electric Fireplace with White Laminate Finish and Faux Marble Frame. 1500w. $599

It looks OK.




Just a moment...

I didn't say the mantle and trim were 70s numbnuts, I said they were "dated" as well. Circa early 90s imo. The fireplace with the orange faux log with hints of lava is definitely 70s.

Todays modern fireplaces are controlled digitally and use LED and laser lights to make a stylistic and 3D fireplace without the hassle of open flame.

Are you just cutting and pasting shit off the internet like Chitty now?

The biggest compliment so far.

--EDIT--

*The only compliment so far?

A work colleague just came back from a week in Morocco and brought me back 1/2Kg of Harissa and 5g of saffron. How times have changed, in my youth it would have been 3ozs of rocky brown

All executive reports completed last Friday and uploaded into sharepoint. Enjoying time off until Jan 8th.

Rocky brown, the good old days.


What's with all this trippy, homegrown super skunk nowadays?
Not my cup of tea, but the lights are on a shining brightly for the masses.

I hear ya... those last few days are painful.

Well...... Happy Friday....

Gotta love working for a tech company. Was notified today by HR on a morning management call that we all get an extra bonus due to company performance and a host of new contracts on new products .

Good time with the Thai baht at a very favorable conversion.

Yep, I was given a quick call yesterday to join a special HR meeting today. No issues. 30 minutes out of my day. Now back to holiday time. How is that fireplace working for you? You pull out those dress up shoes so you feel like you are going places?

I gotta ask Backtard. So you do not live here in Thailand or SEAsia for that matter. You are a 2 week warrior once in a 10 year span to stay in Pattaya. Yet you are a young guy who spends countless hours on Thailand based sites making a fool of yourself which you have absolutely no attachment too. Is your social life that bad?

A mate of mine moved to Beijing a few years ago, posted photos of massive snow yesterday.

Me: Looks a tad nippy bud.
Him: Due to be -19c Sunday night.

Know what you mean, but can't beat looking forward to spring.
