    I came here for some advice and got some very god advice BUT also been attacked by some ½ wit cretins who really should get out a bit more!

    Anyone would think some of you have no life at all and just spent it stuck at your computers looking for an argument.

    Slum landlord? Moi? Your ignorance lets you down. And as for Dave and the other village people rejects, get a life you sad pathetic !!!!!!!s! :o)


    THIS PLACE IS LIKE A WEIRD COMMUNE!:rotfl:

    Thanks to those who gave good advice and !!!! you to the idiots!

    :T

    :money:

    No you started it at post 12 by flying off the handle getting personal (which is against the forum rules (that you may wish to read as you are apparently new here). Geoffky post was rather unecessary but didn't personally attack you, just your ideas.

    You then proceeded to post again and again with childish (hence my post above) comments which do noone any credit and make you look basically like a fool.

    You cannot win an argument on an anonymous internet forum when it gets personal so hope you now move on...

    THAT WAS ON TODAY!! A Russian woman. She somehow managed to make a profit on it - well she bought in 2007 and it was valued at a higher price. If she didn't sell I would imagine she could be financially crippled by now.


    Edit: Actually, no - I think it may have been a little different. This was on a shelf up a ladder but above an alcove in the living room - still cost a similar ammout after upgrade costs though

    Edit 2:

    From memory, there were two (male) partners (in business) who bought the one I saw. Not sure if I dare load iplayer (dongle/capped bandwidth)... but it's tempting just to see :)

    Maybe the partners offloaded it to the Russian :)
    Or vice versa :)

    Edit: Just clicked... couldn't help myself .. then remembered... I don't have speakers :)

    Says anything that needs to be said about Streatham if you live there!
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    I dont think anything further needs to be said about Streatham aside from the fact that there is a lot of crack houses there as well.

    Maybe these studio flats might be conveniently located for one of them?

    it was just a weapon to beat the likes of 'mynameis dave!!!!!!!' with.

    It can only be a weapon to beat me with if I am bigoted against homosexuality.

    As I have no problem with it, being called gay over the net by people who do not now me is a long long way from being an insult.

    I think when this guy keeps wittering on about being 'high end', he actually means Bell-end, as in he is one.

    Good luck with your venture, im sure the DSS will find you some lovely residents for your high end shoe boxes!
