    anyone know how you get embedding to work here?

    Fantastic.

    Not the vid. Kind switched off at the adverts.
    But the sheer grim determined effort man.
    I'm impressed.

    I thought you had eventually resigned yourself to accepting my excellent news gracefully. Apparently not. :D

    The video is very well done, still can't see the big deal that he has bought a house.

    As it is I signed my mortgage offer this morning, so it is now done.

    I'm not surprised that you might try rob.

    I'm just surprised that you think I would see increasingly shrill attacks and forced exclamations of "Thats the funniest thing I've ever seen since the last funniest thing I'd ever seen directed at Geneer" as anything other than an enormously satisfying response. ;)

    See, what you should have done was kept quiet about it for the next two years whilst telling people that buying is idiotic as prices are going to crash etc.

    I might have said this before, but you're being a bit weird about all this.

    Of course you did.
    You took the trouble to open the link.... but just to watch some adverts.
    Are you going to let on you really did watch it in 2013?

    :rotfl: "switched off".
    In the "seen it all before" sense.
    The "yet another fubra geneer related downfall" parody wasn't all that impressive.
    But the white hot compulsion to produce yet another geneer related downfall parody. That was awe inspiring.

    Lord knows what could drive a man that far.

    Congrats :) - Just remember not to lie about it for a couple of years, and no-one will think you are a bit mad.
