    What effect is Judgement Day having on house prices.
    Let me guess ... the trend is still up? :)


    They haven't said yet.

    But it's a brilliant documentary.

    I promised myself I wasn't going to ask but I can't contain my curiousity a moment longer. What exactly is a reverse cowgirl?

    Bit of a wide remit: a 3 bed semi that is not boring. Its my area too, I could have done a better job than Kirsty.

    WHat did they pick? OK the downstairs looked decent, though I would hesitate to say "wow". Never really showed us the upstairs but from the outside it looked a lot smaller than the downstairs, bet it didn't even have an en-suite.

    OK
    Back to the documentary.

    The governor of california has now had to go into hiding in mexico for his own safety.

    He didn't even have a limo or anything, just a beat up old truck.

    And there's loads of boarded up houses.

    The economy is looking really bad over there

    Oy, shut it - I'm on +1..!!
  • Just watching LLL on 4oD. My first thought is "middle-class tw@ttery". Comfortable people agonizing over the wealth of options they have to make themselves even more comfortable. Good luck to them, but not exactly interesting telly, is it?

    How about a weekly hour-long programme about real people and their real housing problems?

    I thought my suggestion was quite good.

    Anyway...goodnight all.
