My dad did one and said it was a ballache. Lots of trial and error type stuff. Depends how big it is I guess.
Patience required.

Piece of piss to do if you have the slightest bit of patience.
As the wall sticker material is typically quite thick and your walls are typically not glass smooth, you'll have to have 10 thumbs to manage to get bubbles.
Just fit it in place with masking tape and only remove a bit of liner at a time and you'll be fine. If you remove all the liner at once and just throw the sticker at the wall, you're gonna have a bad time.

I don't have any. Find them incredibly unoriginal.
Touchy feely quotes, flowers, trees, butterflies and what ever else kind of crap people stick on their walls aren't really my thing.

I do agree to a certain extent but its going in a childs room, without going into detail the vinyl we are getting carries a huge meaning in the family, but do agree it goes in the same category as when people get tattoos saying things like only god can judge me etc

No different to wallpaper or paint on a wall.
Balling, you seem the type who would cover your wall in recycled horse shit because it's unique.

completely different Ben; with Vinyl being self adhesive, its difficult to remove air bubbles once its on the wall not least of all because if you attempt to remove it, you're likely to take the paint off the plaster. You have working time with wallpaper and I don't see how its anything like painting?
You seem to be in a really pissy mood today, what's upset you?
