    Someone will also ask if they should get a brown or a black sofa in their new house, to which everyone will reply "Oh my god are you STUPID, how on EARTH could you buy a house! Haven't you seen the news? You are now going to drown in a hideous sea of negative equity while you house gets repossessed and neas and carolt buy it off you for 30% of the value you bought it for! OH MY GOD YOU ARE A FOOL!"

    The word "sofa" never to appear again in the thread.

    Don't forget the rental deposit threads, there'll be loads of those that you missed!

    Honestly guys, don't diss the OS Board - you'll regret it :naughty:
    Always another chapter

    He is a sweetie, isn't he? I always liked her old avatar, too, the one with her and the little 'un, it was a really nice piccy.

    In my entirely unbiased opinion, he's gorgeous. Just a little active and think sleep is for the weak!

    I'll change back soon to the me plus him picture (-:

    no-one ever looks like the back of a tram. Don't put yourself down...think Gok Wang (except I don't ever get to watch it) but customers quote him all the time. so he must say something right.
