Well, if you like it that much, you can keep it.

Merry X-mas.

Now take 2 seconds of your life and CLICK THE F*CKING THANKS BUTTON, Ebenezer.:D

I have thanked each of your posts on this thread. But no way am I going to attempt to thank all your output, especially all the house price gubbins. If you could just give up with this going up all the time business I am sure we could get along just fine.

£74,000 profit.

I think Martin will be pleased with all the good money saving stuff going on in this thread.

It went on to sell 3 years later for an extra £40,000 so not so sure. It's not easy to call the top Mr.Brown.

I agree. I have been consistently wrong on the housing market for practically all the time I have had an interest in it. On another matter I have decided to lock the garden shed in future, it's where I store my golf clubs.

edit: I notice rewired has turned up. Bit late imo. Slacking. Probably got a bit of a shock seeing me posting.

Mr Brown, can you fit a post in on Shadrack, Meshach and Abednigo. My fvourite. There was a good picture in my Bible when I was a kid and I got really excited about the fiery furnace.

I wanted to call a son Abednigo. (DH isn't keen though)

A right royal pain in the asp called Nebuchadnezzar commissioned a statue of the god of forum posters and plonked it in the Saatchi Gallery, Babylon.

He was well chuffed but the critics felt it lacked a certain something. It didn't speak to them. It lacked wit.

Philistines the whole lot of them, declared old Nebu. Tell you what, I'll fling in a bit of Beyonce, and that better speak to them. Because everytime I switch off the CD anyone who doesn't do the whole abject worshipping thing is going into the same furnace my gorgeous statue was smelted in.

Come the grand opening three art critics from the Jerusalem Times turned up. The music stopped and every sensible person in the place flung themselves on the floor. Except Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (the arrogant gits).

Now Nebuchadnezzar was a reasonable sort of tyrant and before he ordered another ton of coal for the furnace he gave our heroes a second chance to do a bit of bowing and scraping.

But they were a trio of right opinionated bugg4hs and refused point blank. Our God is bigger than your God, they said, do your worst Nebu, good taste will always triumph.

So the king had them thrown into the depths of the nasty burning thing and sat back to await the unmistakable aroma of toasted intellectual.

But lo and behold a miracle occurred for there unscathed, in the midst of the flames, stood our three intrepid critics.

And there beside our heroes, coolly unconcerned by the boiling heat, was this bloke named Peter Mandelson.

Bliddy hell said the bystanders, it is all true. The little fe cker actually is indestructable.

You aint seen nothing yet. declared Mandelson, next year I am getting Gordon Brown re-elected.............

I just give it the once over. It looks....terrible

The aliens have their very own language and they look way more convincing than Klingons. They are publishing a slender volume with grammar and phonetic pronunciation. I am really excited.

OK, admittedly I dont get out much:o

Please don't encourage her. I have had a hangover from hell today and not sure I have the energy for pyschological warfare with her

Dearest, you always do.

Anyway, I have to go...DH is home and we've devoured oysters. Have good weekend folks.

(BTW undecided on Avatar s yet, have a while, we tend to wait for dvd release ...I prefer to watch films at home, snuggled lying down on the sofa dressed in blanket. Sophisticated or what?)
