The sad fact is the world had a mania over property. There have been many manias throughout history:

Remember this?




Manias are actually pretty easy to recognise. If it is said "You only have to buy a lot of <X> and you'll be able to retire on the profits" - then it's a mania.

I like this mania, myself - I'd like to retire on the proceeds of Beanies!

The sad fact is, the only thing you can retire on is working hard, and spending less than you earn. But to suggest to most people that there isn't a "short cut" is like suggesting they take a colonic irrigation with a hollowed out Christmas Tree.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

To scream abuse at people for pointing that out (see the housing board's treatment of people who say houseprices are going down) is about as useful as screaming at people for refusing to believe that the Chav Cabbage Patch Kid (serial no 756 of 2,344,223,323 - genuine fake burberry cap, genuinely on backwards) is worth nowhere near the £4,000 you paid for it. And in fact there's so many offered for sale that people aren't even going to offer you what it cost to make.

The Chav Cabbage Patch Kid! Z, you *really* should have a sideline as a marketing expert! :rotfl: I don't think you could stomach it morally, but you'd make a mint!

And all this while, I was struggling to input a mystery shop! S*dding thing got stuck at 97% and wouldn't play, but eventually did. I'm knackered now.

Dragon - thats what I'm prattling on about when I'm writing about egyptian dancing. Its also called raqs sharqi round here, or it used to be. I'm glad another ballet dancer has made the transition.

I could certainly stomach it, with the Chav "Shotgun target" Cabbage Patch Kid, and the Chav "Charcoal coals" Cabbage Patch kid, and the special edition "Chav Girl" Cabbage Patch kid, with clothes so small, you need a magnifying glass to see them, and you get a little one sent to you every 9 months for 30 years, but only if you keep it supplied with lager...

ZTD, that photo looks worrying like one you've taken yourself. Something you'd like to tell us all?

Thanks for the explanation - I'll amaze OH later with my new found knowledge! It's certainly cleared one thing up - I really am much more fick than I fought.

A new sideline beckons, then. I'll expect them in the shops Christmas 2009.... maybe I could knit their clothes?

Right, I'm off for the night - not to bed, I'm starving, I need something else to eat... g'night all.

:hello: Back again! Not got anything planned today, and since its supposed to be really nice today, I might well get out there in the garden again.

My list: 23/28 items either done or a few missed (like, not trading cos of the craziness). Haven't done anything on my monthly project, i.e. my accounts, and haven't had enough socialising, I keep scheming finances rather than phoning people.

My day yesterday was weird, I got my buttons pushed a bit before I even got to my mystery shop - accosted by a street missionary when I was dropping off a charity shop bag. That drives me crazy straight away, I have a few ideas why, but its not as if I was raised by the Christian Brothers or anything. I feel a mix of and :mad: , very odd.

With the mystery shop, I was supposed to buy something and not take it back. But, embarrassingly, I did take it back and bought something else - I just hope it still counts, even if it does it didn't go quite the way I wanted it to. Just a lesson, otherwise.

Grocery challenge: not bad. Boring bit coming up, please ignore:
1.40 1.5kg cornflakes
1.42 750g peppers
0.50 1kg carrots
0.99 toffee biccies
0.55 1kg potatoes
0.58 1kg oats
1.49 1kg courgettes Total: £6.93,

I think I might do a big batch cook and freeze portions, but I'll do that tomorrow if I do.



EDIT: ooh! Got to do my ten amazon listings for the ebay challenge!

Hellooo :hello: Still looking good with the grocery challenge there - toffee biscuits sound nice!

Sort of followed Z's explanation of 'what's going on' with the world, likewise nobody I know actually understands it completely, have had lots of conversations over the past week and nobody can quite explain everything.

I'm quite curious as to what Egyptian dancing is like - keep picturing that comedy sketch-style sand dance thing! :rotfl:
