My parents were made a speculative offer a while ago, turned it down, and have said consistnatly say they 'wish they'd taken it but they can sell at any point.' I think its highly unlikely they'll see an offer like that again....but who knows!

They probably can sell at any point in the next 10 years, but most likely for an ever lower price. You can bet the house on it.

Male. Surely that comes through in some reckless frustration posts about house prices, and not caring about houses as anything but a shelter-to-price value, compared to say treliac's more homely attitude.

Was it my mad-Max dream which had you doubting. Male.

Those book makers would have gone home happy. :cool:

On Radio 5, just before the race, they had that favourite priced at 15/8. Don't know what the final starting price was, but that isn't much value-to-risk in a race like the Derby.

Ok so sometimes bookmakers lose money on a particular event bigtime.

Take the Derby on Saturday, the favourite at the off. Was down to the fact that somebody on course placed 2 £50,000 bets with different bookmakers. The horse wasn't even placed.

Those book makers would have gone home happy. :cool:

Came 2nd @ 9/4 fame and glory.


Full result and some of the punts landed and lost.

The Fav was 2nd. The horse that should have been favourite was 1st. If bookies never lose everyone would be doing it.

Well,I thought you were a man, but in the PM you were also very sweet and I didn't want to presume anything:. I tend to think people opt for gender nuetral names for reasons such as I did, and then are better at staying neutral.and making effort to cover tracks if they are edgy bout revealing it Its some times hard to decided whether to use he or she in case one causes upset In my house its only the woman who gets THAT frustrated about not owning/house prices. DH is very, very relaxed about most things.

No, don't worry.

I'm lonely on here now since Cleaver left. Gen only has eyes for Mrs Gen, mewbie only has eyes for fungus and Cat's never about now. SamIam was just a ship passing in the night. My poor decimated list: the rest of you Coven girls are doing much better than I.

Last time this worked though:D: Mr Fonzerelli, where are you?
