    I think that you are being overly fussy, as long as they offer a helpline number at the end for those who have been negatively effected by the issues raised by Jennie Bond's nakedness, I think that we should live and let live.

    ROTFLMAO! :rotfl:

    You shouldn't watch cause it's the most patronising programme on TV- "Hey everyone lets play a game and guess how much the house is worth! Loser smells of poo"

    Might as well be presented by Rod, Jane and Freddie :)

    It wasn't on purpose but I only just walked into the room.

    Why do people have no vision :wall:

    They're standing in a massive room with one wall on a slight angle and they're asking where they'd put ANY furniture. There's a HUGE fifteen foot wide shelving unit running down one wall. WHY DON'T YOU PUT SOMETHING ON THAT WALL?

    And they're laughing at it. Whatever. I bet they can't even afford it.

    God. My day is ruined. :rotfl:

    I've noticed with all the property !!!!!! shoved in our faces these days, that many buyers seem to think they're buying "shop quality goods" when they look at a house. They price things on the assumption that everything - from the bricks & mortar through to the light fittings - is "out of the wrapper, perfect".

    I'm beginning to think that every property over 12 months old needs to be torn down and replaced with a shiny new build ;)

    Even period properties are expected to have laminate flooring :mad: :eek: , wall hung toilets :mad: :eek: and state of the art kitchens :mad: :eek:

    Nothing wrong with those features in the right properties ... but I like quirky, wonky and the "lived in" look. Any chance for me? Or shall I become a p i k e y ;):D I am part-qualified, anyway ;)
    Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac ;)

    I think Jennie Bond should probably put some clothes on.

    And stop thrusting her t i t s in the faces of the blokes on Great British Menu.

    When did she become the "must have" presenter? :confused:

    That's what she was doing this morning; flirting with some random 'antiques' man. She seems to think she's a bit of a hottie after her spell in the Jungle :confused:

    It is possible to be older and sexy but not by dressing like Jordan :rotfl:

    lol go one buy hahaha desperation, but i'd like to thank all selfcert mortgage holders for this mess, ive made a small profit from it. Seems like a huge amount of BTLs are in the auction and no one is buying. No mortgage for you sir, work teh rest of your life to pay of your debt please, no chance of owning another home, seems like some will be renting for the rest of their lives. Greed is good
