We appear to have made almost 200k on our ****ty little flat on the A1

[Monty91]

in less than a year and a half :clap:

What say Awimb? Sell now in case the bubble bursts?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This new house will also recently have gone up in value by a similar amount. :shrug:

Your house isn't an investment. It is your home.

[Monty91]

and where prices are not rising at the same rate as in London, so there's an argument for selling now.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's in Hua Hin, mind, which is a bit of a commute. But if I sold up, f**ked off to the Land Of Smiles, and lived like a king happily ever after on 5k per month, is there anything about UK I might miss?

[Luis Anaconda]

The Arsenal are on the telly everywhere, sir c

[Ashberto]

Sausage Egg and Chips.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Coronation St and HMRC raping my wallet.

I wonder whether I should get up at 5 am next Thursday to watch us getting gubbed by Barcelona live, or just check the result when I awake.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No more work, though. No more tax demands.

[Luis Anaconda]

landing about an hour before kick-off. Might miss the first 10 minutes or so. So won't see us level at any point :cry:

[Ashberto]

working-class buyers at ~575GBP, at a time when a typical wage was about 4 pahnd a week. The deposit was a tenner, and the overall price was 2 years and 8 months wages.

The same house now probably costs about 20-25 times the average annual wage for the equivalent buyer.

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

Had already made a number of impossible save and we should have been 4 or 5 down already.

[Monty91]

raped hard in the gary, is it?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Your got more for your money in those days.

[redgunamo]

Even a narrow aggregate defeat will feel like rape :mansplaining:

[Monty91]

League title first, please. It's the only right and proper way to do it, after all.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Luis Anaconda]

a lead isn't out of the possibility. Very hard to see us maintaining it out there but who knows

[redgunamo]

It would be quite something for us to win both in the same season and there's no point making things more difficult than necessary.


*Your mum.

[Ashberto]

Inside loo, running water, electricity and so on. It was the inner London places that people were trying to get out of which had the features you described.

[Luis Anaconda]

even the lower end price :yikes:

It's actually obscene

or in other words

:kerching:


Apologies to Ash for doubting his word at Christmas on an estimated price

cocktails at the Savoy, dinner at the Delaunay. You know the score.

And yet... imagine no more Monday mornings qua Monday mornings.

[Ashberto]

I have a Highgate history book with an ad for the houses on the Holly Lodge when they were built. Might be interesting to see what they went for back then, compared to average earnings at the time and compare with now.

[Berni]

If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would seem as tedious as to work and all that.

Mind you, that was written by a bloke who wrote plays for a living. :- What the f**k would he know?

[Luis Anaconda]

that Highgate thing is interesting - mind you after taxes and converting back into pounds my wages are probably about average for 1920

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Perhaps I could start an expat's newspaper; the British Bulldog, with a Telegraphesque editorial tone and articles bemoaning the paucity of decent staff and the repulsive habits of the locals.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Berni]

You do realise that if you moved to Thailand, people would just assume you were a *****phile, don't you? :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I would be inclined to care, if I may be as convoluted as so to say.

[Berni]

left behind.

"What happened to old Sir Charlie?"

"Oh, he lives in Thailand these days...

*AWKWARD PAUSE*

...He's not a nonce, though."

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I love Cambodia. Allegedly a retired couple who wish to live a 'western' lifestyle should budget 2,000 USD per month for all living expenses :hehe:

[redgunamo]

Or possibly The Wild One, when he says "We don't go anywhere; we just *go*!"
