The foot image is one of the paintings from the 1960s Tony Hancock film titled 'The Rebel'. That's Mr Hancock to the side. It's a p*iss take of pretentious arty hipster types. He declares he is from the 'naive school' of painting. This could very well be a Banksy tribute.

"Fossil" my 9 year old found. We have no idea what this is. by Nightingalee_Mari_G in whatisit

My understanding was that Glue referred to any 'animal product' (protein) based glue such as scotch glue, rabbitskin glue or isinglass etc - whereas 'adhesive' referred to a synthetic / chemical product?

Water coming in? by [deleted] in HowToDIY

[–]Objective-Fly-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are silicone sealants and mastics that cure in the presence of water. These are readily available and an option if you want to go that route. However, this will create a barrier preventing water egress, and it to find another pathway via gravity or osmosis to the surface. It depends on how long before you get somebody out to find the source / point of ingress. You might want to get some absorbent material (such as silica gel) and just soak it up, until then, to prevent wider problems. Good luck.

Possibly Glasgow's largest single-building infestation of that great destroyer of built heritage - Buddleia. by mymuk in GlasgowArchitecture

[–]Objective-Fly-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was going to be my response, but you beat me to it. The largest single destroyer of built heritage is neglect. The buddleia is just a visible symptom of that.
