How on earth do people justify them? How can a pile of bricks and a few bits of carpet be worth Ł250,000??? Fuck off. That's what I say. At least I'd like to, but it seems we're stuck with it.

Well, they've just bought a house and are doing it up. I asked how she afforded it and the response was 'lol dunno' but further prying makes it sound like he'd bought it which means either army mechanics get paid more than I thought or he's getting help from somewhere. Either way, it all sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

It's thanks to selfish bastards like you that first time buyers find it so hard to even buy one! I'm in the same stupid position. We've got 2 incomes, I'm even vaguely well paid nowadays, and yet we don't stand a fucking chance of buying a house unaided. A two bedroom terrace costs over 300k in Guildford. I've been saving like crazy but the prices go up quicker than I can save. And fucking buy-to-letters are always outbidding on the best bargains. The government should bring in some seriously heavy taxes to dissuade people from doing this.

I need to add to my portfolio, my economic value to a country that would kill me for political gain before helping me when I need is decreasing? I guess we all know what the original series of The Prisoner was talking about all those years ago - I am not a number, I am an economic tool with no human value. I hate the world. Beyond the fact there is no purpose to life, the world humans have created is devoid of any spiritual reason. It's like waking up with Shane Diesel's cock up your ass every day until death.

I'll stick to my formula, which should see me living off a healthy passive income before too long, laughing at chumps like you when I zoom past in my cock-extension of a car on my way to grab a coffee with my mid 20's wife. Whats that you say? When will that be? It'll be any time I fucking well please, because every day will be Saturday in ol' Harry's life by then.

Just thought i'd let you know that i've skelped down the deposit on another flat

The Daddy Posts: 7,879 Group: Admin Member #25 Joined: July 2008	Well, house prices are starting to fall, so hopefully you'll lose all your money in a mini-crash Found a house I really liked but the vendors wouldn't go low enough, which was less than 10% below asking price. So they've not sold the house, and I've not bought a house. You might see that as a lose-lose situation, but apparently they don't.

Regular Member Posts: 1,606 Group: Members Member #30 Joined: July 2008	I had an amusing letter through the post today. Apparently I can buy 40% of a place and rent the rest, all for only Ł1100 a month. Why on earth didn't I do that before?
