Oh Kenny. If I were ever to submit myself completely to a man's desire, to enter that temporary Nirvana where spirit meets flesh in a moment of exquisite pleasure, it would have to be with a man who was at least capable of being faithful to his wife - in deed and in mind.

Until that day I am afraid my treasured books will be my only companion.

Would that man aslo come from s Worcs and drive a big black car very slowly?:D:D

Oh yes - thanks to LIR for a perfectly positioned and off beat post. Belly laughs all round.

I have enjoyed this one very much and think thanks are due to Kenny for playing the part of the stooge to perfection. "Overweight middle aged lady with an interest in the classics" will live with me for some time.

Fungus my fine young friend, if nothing else this thread should have taught you that people on the internet are not always who they appear to be. Do not harbour thoughts of mewbie the female classicist for I fear you would suffer a great disappointment were our paths ever to cross. Stick with real women only.

Well...er.. if the image of me that you have helps you in any way I am glad to have been of some service.

I'd be interested to know who Fungus thinks you are. Does he think you're PN's alter-ego?

The female thing might be a wind up on his part, but I don't bother arguing so much now. Tonight it came in useful. I suppose we draw pictures in our minds of each other on here, while also playing out a part. The lesson is be internet safe, enjoy, but just keep a bit in reserve.

Or learn to bench press 250kg.

I thanked you then read again.

If the seller understands that they are betting BMV because they want a quick sale then fine. IF they are desparate to sell and are being taken advantage of because of their dire financial straights, then it seems a bit vulture like.

I think we are probably mostly in agreement. I am not really against BMV sales, per se, provided both parties understand what they are getting and the seller is aware of all other options. What I find intensely annoying are the cases where the seller is induced into taking a bad deal on the basis of a promise (lie, really) that he can remain in the house indefinitely, perhaps at a rental that is deliberately set at below market level for the first 6 months.

There is clearly a legitimate role for the property dealer buying at BMV in some limited circumstances. For example, Mr Bloggs wants to trade up to a bargain property he has just seen, but he needs a sure-fire sale of his own home within the next week or two. Even if he discounts it heavily, Mr Bloggs cannot be sure of getting the sale over that timescale. The property dealer offers liquidity in such circumstances, albeit at a substantial price.
