Stupid property prices.

I'm not biting........

I wasn't sure if I was just being paranoid / presumptuous when I read the first comment, but now I've read the second one, I know I'm right.

You've got a memory like an elephant, haven't you......?

I have the memory of a goldfish TBF.
His name is Timmy.

Which is probably why you lost me there somewhere along the way...

I inferred that property-developing types are all wankers.

You posted about developing a property.

I wrote ages ago about how shite Cuba is.

You posted about a planned trip to Cuba.

(Although I did say that Havana's brilliant.)

I took it as a button pressing exercise, designed to get a response.

I think I might be losing it a bit..........

Sorry amigo. I'm just not that devious.
I like to think of the bungalow as planned downsizing now that the kids have flown the nest, but it isn't anywhere near ready to move into. This is largely due to the missus wanting to resite the bathroom where the bedroom currently is, the kitchen where the bathroom is and the living room where the kitchen is - in effect moving the building's plumbing/waste from one side to the other. Go figure...I just want a big shed.

(A) Yes you are.

(B) Just buy a different bungalow.

or

(C) Get divorced and buy a shed with the money you've saved.

In 15 years the value of my property has risen from 162K to 418k.  Today I saw a Jaguar XF, only £19500, and 3 years old. I went in, had a drive, bought it, and paid cash.
I like this buying and selling of properties

But are you really happy?

ya bet ya buns I am, although I am a little concerned about when I should use sports mode, dynamic mode, and will I get used to the paddle gear shifts ? Life can be very hard. It'll take me about 3 months for me to stop beaming I think. I pick it up next Thursday, and am trying not to think about it. Also concerned that I don't bend my current S type, as I've used it in the trade-in.

Ill have three of them.

Martin, you're almost right, but the electric seats have a lot of adjustment, and I don't have to peer through the steering wheel nowadays

Any particular colour Scott ?

S-Type isn't that a posh Mondeo.

That reminds me of my next door neighbours for some reason, they bought the house next door and for 18 months the couple argued about money.  The woman next door was in tears most of the time shouting at her bloke for pissing 50 quid up the wall then blowing 200 quid on clothes in one go and accusing him of taking her bank card from her purse just before going off to work and moaning that it would be her having to bail him out every time.

Roll on to a fortnight ago and a BMW 1 series turns up at the house with cloth interior, plastic dash and nothing fancy just the basic model where they have no doubt p/x their second hand car in that they had approx for 12months.

The car is around 1500 more than a Ford Focus that would come with a lot more extras than the model they have got, i know what i would rather have and just shows that they have bought the car just because its a BMW, they seem to be quite shallow people.

Although this is not the case with Glos and has earned the money to pay for his car outright with cash being at that age, I hope he enjoys driving his Jag. 

Something sadly tells me that my next door neighbours will go bust sometime in the future.

German cars are very reliable though, maybe they got the car for the reliability?

Aren't most popular brands of cars in general reliable now though for not breaking down?

All I know in my experience is never get a Punto!

It's a cliché, but big cars are for men with small knobs and clearly compensating for something.

I've never once met a woman who chose a man because he drove a flash car, so why men bother wasting money on them is beyond me.

Best boyfriend I ever had picked me up on a moped.

I can prove that this is just a load of old bollocks, and i will refuse to post a pic of my knob on a football forum.

Did you have one in yellow? Always thought they looked nice in that colour!

I remember my mum having a Renaut 5 and came back from looking at a new saxo (equally as bad!) and it broke down on blackburn road in rush hour traffic.

My motto is, stay away from french cars!

Nat here is my Car, small isnt it

You must have a massive knob. Or be one.
