Jill

I'm off next week so I don't know what we're selling. Fail.

Well played.

Rooney man you fucking pleb.

I'm going to sound like a right lefty, hippy, soft twat here (which I accept) but I feel uneasy about "taking advantage" of repos. A lad at work bought one about 18 months ago and I couldn't help saying it was like taking taxi fare of a mate when he's passed out pissed. I completely understand and accept the notion of being responsible for a mortgage but just feel capitalising on misfortune isn't right. I can completely see your point tbh. It's difficult trying to justify some of the sale prices to borrowers but I blame the estate agents for that because everyone hates them, and it's their fault anyway. Some of the prices they sell at are absolutely nothing though. I also get the pleasure of chasing borrowers to recover the mortgage shortfall after the sale and some of the time we're talking well over £100-200k*. I had a new one today that was £461k. *That's quite a range.

Repo sales were very busy last year but have died down a lot this year as it's more difficult to repossess the properties in the first place due to the new court rules. Still enough to keep us in work though, thankfully.

I'll sell you a repo on the cheap.

Pissing myself laughing at France.

The mother in law swore blind a few months ago that the local alcoholics queued up somewhere and got given 4 cans a day from the government. Think she'd got her wires crossed a bit like.

Same.

One of my mates went here recently: http://www.gillheadfarm.co.uk/camping_pod.html Not particularly posh, but a little different and they really enjoyed it.

Back off. Well done to him.

Congrats Fist.

Congratulations.

Free to mates, sometimes take a tenner or something if it's going to be used by someone I don't know (e.g. the husband of someone I work with). In relation to the poll, I'd offer the ticket for face value. However if someone strolled up and offered me more, I'd gladly take it.

Argentina. Don't know why.

Tired, but generally quite a good mood.. until I think about having to go to work tomorrow. Grim.

In Bruges. Canny, didn't expect to like it but I quite enjoyed it.

Pleased that snotty nosed one has been sacked off. So far they're pretty much all infuriating.

I didn't mean to imply that you did. Your leasehold/freehold situation is totally different from Toonpack's. Hope you get some good advice though anyway.

Ahh Tyneside flats, fucking nightmare when you're dealing with lawyers from elsewhere who haven't come across them before. Anyway, I work in conveyancing but don't really deal with your particular query. So, sorry.

Congrats, he's adorable

Happy birthday lads

Speedo. My love has been renewed by watching him on A Question of Sport the last few weeks. He was looking mighty fine on there last night mind Jill. Are you a Michael Buble fan cos there's an Audience With thing tomorrow night. I'm quite giddy in anticipation Ooh excellent, thanks. Will be watching.
