    I've heard of the Time Square 'ball drop' at midnight on New Year's Eve, but don't know exactly what it is - possibly a way of counting down the seconds?

    Hmmm...I can think of other ball drops that were slightly more exciting, but perhaps I'd better not go there! :D

    A bungalow not far from me went up for sale for £290K. This is the living room:

    www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/120031127#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media3

    Yes, that's right: you can relax in your living room and admire a shotgun and sword combo.

    Unsurprisingly it didn't sell... it was relisted (twice), the price dropped to 280, 270, 260...

    And then the room was rearranged, with the odd stuff removed. Et viola, sold within a week.

    www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/123663236#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media1

    (Did the gun etc cost the guy £30K, or did he just price too high to start with? We'll never know...)

    But you also have to consider the cost of the flower containers on the decking and selling with fewer toilet rolls.
