    Yes, the 'bears' on here sure seem to have a lot of free time.

    I suppose it's easier to moan about how unfair it all is on an internet forum than actually getting on with life.

    You better hope the north improves, if it doesnt you will see thousands of northerners moving down south to find work.

    I suggest you sort your chippys out before we get there.

    It is all Rock Salmon and Jellied eels down there :)

    Yep, I am going to refer to the HPC site here (but only because I think it is accepted as the definitive house prices website (even though they banned my good self). Anyway, this topic is pretty popular over there - "Lilico is my hero", "New HPC pin up boy". From one poster who has been a member since Aug 2004 and has 25,957 posts to his name, based on this programme, comment "So, game on".

    Reminds me of this very unfunny joke for anyone who remember the advert:

    "A man goes into a seafood restaurant and asks to see the dishes of the day. The waiter wheels over a trolley and the man examines the dishes.

    “I’ll have the little green squid with the hair lip please” says the man.

    “O.K.” replies the waiter and calls out “Gervais!!”

    A little French chef appears with a large knife, the waiter instructs the chef to kill the little green squid with the hair lip.

    Gervais is just about to slice at the poor squid when he notices a tear running down its face. Gervais is touched, and admits that he hasn’t the heart to kill the squid.

    Not to worry” says the waiter, and calls out “Hans!!” at which an enormous German bloke comes out of the kitchen.

    “Sir”, says the waiter, “this is Hans, the dishwasher.

    Hans, kill that squid!” The dishwasher wields a huge rolling pin and is just about to bludgeon the little green squid with the hair lip when it cringes back and gives a little cry.

    “I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid” Hans admits, his lower lip trembling.

    “Well sir,” says the waiter, “it just goes to show Hans that do dishes, can be soft as Gervais with mild green, hairy lip squid".
