Title: I bought a house!!!
Post by: Buddy on 11 February, 2004, 07:14:59 PM
After 6 months of banking bad debt hell I have finally got a mortgage agreed!!

And a normal one at that, not one of these 10% above the bank base rate sharks..

Soon my life will return to normal, soon I can re-kick start the ximoc website, soon I can walk naked around my own home!!!

Oohhh can't wait.

Well done that man!

But the true pleasure comes with taking a shit with the bathroom door open.



You all know what I'm talking about.

sniffle...no... some of us never ever ever get the hoose to ourselves, with unemployed layabout scroungers sitting around those doors must be shut at all times, the booze & chocolate must stay hidden in the cleaning things cuboard & all power tools & swords have to be locked up somwhere else. sigh.

no nekkidity for some of us. evah.

liar!  the bbc news made it clear no-one could buy houses now cause of...something bad...something money based...and the bbc would never lie, or make other such possible false, but almost certainly not claims.

Sneaky! No way the loungeabouts would look there!

I've found that the perfect place for hiding Oddgirls Christmas/birthday presents is in my comic bookcase: she never *ever* goes looking in there.

Vampijen, IIRC Uncle Ump lives in Ireland, and therefore isn't *technically* covered by the BBC.
Title: Re: I bought a house!!!
Post by: Trout on 12 February, 2004, 07:26:37 PM
I thought he was in Northern Ireland, which is.

And you get the BBC in the Republic of Ireland, anyway.

Post by: Buddy on 12 February, 2004, 07:31:43 PM
'Tis Northern Ireland to be sure...

Anyway, since I've been in my temp accommodation I havn't had a TV, so any BBC reference is lost on me.

Have to say I havn't missed the old goggle box - it's mostly shite anyway with the soaps, gardening, DIY and property development programmes on ALL THE TIME!! (except fot that one with Sarah Beanie, worth watching for her alone).

Post by: Queen Firey-Bou on 12 February, 2004, 11:19:45 PM
no they just save the property development programmes for when one is homeless or on the verge of it " Ron here has a budget of 20 billion pounds & is going to renovate this ancient cathedral into a quaint studio appartment"

" ah with only ?20000 and some old toilet rolls & fuzzy felts we've given your shower a total make-over "
