Oscar Romeo Romeo posted:Quarter mil are you mental? I saw a lovely little church that had been converted into two maisonette's, each going for £125,000 freehold a month ago and thought to myself, "after Christmas". Stupidest loving thing I've ever done. Naturally they both sold within a week. If it was some sort of victorian stone church, you dodged a bullet: the maintenance costs would've been hideous.

Was taking the piss a bit there although legally correct, it's councils that get fined, (council deadline put in place by labour was 2010, extended to jan 1st 2016 if your council is shite and banked on the law not being enforced, pro tip, the tories are enforcing it) that one landlord that owns most of whatever town you live in will not give one gently caress. Your only option is to report your dodgy landlord to the council if you already have your reference for the next place and are moving out of area and wish to gently caress them over.

I think they are more interested in the debate over "electric gates, convenient or crass?"

All I want is a little house on the side of a hill, or maybe on a heath, with some acres of largely useless land. Then I can withdraw from society until I am ready to reveal my masterpiece/kill myself.

I have nice double wooden estate gates up onto my drive on my house in Scotland, but electric gates on the house in England and frankly the electric gates are a pain to maintain and slow, and the remotes have no range, but it's the colour and accessory choice of your Range Rover that defines crassness not the gates. You troglodyte.

No gates. Stone walls and an open entrance with a little elderly and slightly drunk man in a booth armed with a blunderbuss who potters out of the booth and shouts, "Who goes there!?" whenever the posty turns up.

Good plan noone ever, ever delivers here. I think the first week living here a courier threw something over the wall. Since then, only cards in the mailbox, even though theres almost always someone home. People see gates/intercoms and just say 'screw this' and bung a card in the mail slot.

Talking of buying property I'm debating buying my flat now that I'm elligible for right to buy, I'm still not sure whether I want to buy the studio I currently have or to try and get a 2 bedroom once the girlfriend moves down when she's finished uni and buy that.

Don't buy a studio unless you're prepared to live there for the next 5 years. And I can't even begin to imagine SHARING a studio flat with someone else. Actually, I can and it'd be HORRIBLE.

Does it back on to Brockwell park by any chance? I lived there 16 years ago and nearly got hit with a nail bomb while buying milk - nails hit my backpack instead. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Dec 28, 2015 |

Mine is now a homely purple and pink with artificial flowers and a new wardrobe. Gone are the Leeds United blue and gold paint with punk rock posters all over the walls and dirty clothes strewn everywhere. ...well, been here a week now, dirty clothes are back!

If I could reliably get a renter, and the market rate would cover the mortgage repayments. Buy it, live in it until it doesn't meet your needs, then rent it out and go rent somewhere else with the girlfriend until you can buy a larger place. Either by selling the studio, or buying a second property. And depending on interest rates, rises in property value, it may even be wise to overpay the mortgage when possible instead of putting the money in your ISA/Savings/Pension.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:fair enough i guess. p sure jakabite was protesting about this the other day I did recently move from Vodafone and was a) unable to retrieve my PAC and b) for quite a while unable to pay my bill, which they kept hassling me for, because I no longer had an account with them apparently. Had to spend a long time on the phone explaining that if I didn't have an account with them, there'd be nowhere to put the bill. gently caress Vodafone. In other news I bought a PS4 after months and months of umming and ahhing. PSN is Mrs_macs_lung if anyone wants to play some vidya. I only have MGSV at the moment though and don't intend to change that within the next week or so because it's a serious amount of fun.

You can't do any serious damage to a phone company with water bombs sadly. My names probably on some special balloon lost anyway. When the day comes I have to organise a kids party it'll be brutally broken up by the UK balloon police, popping away. Well they have to use Trident some how. Boom boom.
