    ^ Connells, the agents I would happily see hanging from a rope.

    The listing is up to their usual standard of written English I note:



    & if you felt forced into purchasing a one bed hut, would the following really be of interest?

    Lady Laura of Lisbon .....I am here........peidiwch â phoeni........I will be back, just doing 1000's of things at once, and something has got to slip-Right Move is one, just temporarily.
    I can see you're still on form :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Could some of those 1000s of things be dances with good ol' Welshman, Wilson Pickett?

    I know the song well. It's all there in the lyrics....

    Land of [STRIKE]1000 Dances[/STRIKE] My Fathers

    Ow! Uh! Alright! Uh!Got to know how to pony

    Brilliant. Pure Dead Brilliant!
    (Greenock dialect reqd.)
    ..............
    Psst. Davesnave, expand it a little more? (as that song was used in a certain male stripper film a few years ago):

    'The Full Monty', (all girls, & only girls, night), 'Live from Treorchy'?

    (& unlike the Max Boyce LP, I bet the dvd won't be found a-plenty in charity shops for 50p twenty years on)

    Update: I have found the perfect venue in Treorchy.

    It would need to be 'borrowed'; but the inevitable consequences would be so enriching. Made worse of course by few being able to keep a straight face :A

    This agent has just decided to go one further along the wide angle route and used a fish-eye lens.

    It captures more of the room and does away with any pretence at realism, so could be seen as more 'honest,' but how will customers react to seeing their property presented in Dali-esque vignettes?

    Indeed, how many buyers are likely to be fish? :huh:

    I'm sure you lot will be quicker off the mark?

    They have "Sisterhood" every Tuesday at 2pm, so relatively easy to fit in, I'd say. ;)
